Hi, I am from South Africa, the crime and gun control megga of the world. These two norms are like salt & pepper, you'll always find it together.
Gun control in South Africa is the same as trying to tell a golfer that he may play a round of golf, only using his 3 iron.
The impact of our gun control on us hunters are:
1. You need to get a gun licence, yet it allows that idiot who should never posses a gun, are legally in possession.
2. licencing takes for ever, I am waiting over a year for mine.
3. only allowed either hand or shot gun for selfdefence & 3 additional guns with good motivation. 2 x same caliber very difficult to motivate.
4. hunter who have more than 4 guns need to qualify as "dedicated hunters". Then only may you apply for additional guns, but each one needs to ne motivated, and " because I like the gun" does not qualify.
Yet, it is so easy for a criminal to get a gun, latest is robbing the local cop shop, no licence,no motivation and they have more freedom to do with guns that what I can only dream of.
I feel the effect of gun control every time I see a "must have one of those" guns,,,,,,, you do not want to be here.........
I will support the golfer when they start with "(golf)-driver control", as I think this may be the next best thing to a gun to rob, murder, steal. Baseball is not big over here, and you guys should think ahead.
