The COURIER took to the streets and asked our readers what they think about the minister’s proposed policy to restrict civilian access to firearms for self-defence. This is what they had to say:
Nthabiseng Kekana: “The restriction will be welcomed because these guns are getting out of control. People use them to hurt one another.”
The COURIER took to the streets and asked our readers what they think about the minister’s proposed policy to restrict civilian access to firearms for self-defence. This is what they had to say:
Lelo Rasenya: “There are two sides to this. There are illegal guns where people commit a crime and on the other hand, people need to protect themselves in case of attacks.”Lunga Vutha: “I think the government is wrong if they want to implement that policy. We have weapons for different reasons and not having one can put us in danger.”Lerato Kau: “I don’t agree. At the end of the day, lots of people have illegal firearms. If you have yours legally then it will be easier to defend yourself. Police take a long to respond to home attacks. With a gun you can defend yourself.”Mbuso Dlamini: “We cannot live without protecting ourselves especially in this country. This implementation is absurd. We all need to defend ourselves in this country.”
