Legal Firearms Save Lives
The Problem
South Africans face home invasions, hijackings, farm attacks, armed robberies, and violent crime at extreme levels. SAPS response times are measured in hours - if they respond at all. Government is proposing the removal of self-defence as a valid reason to own a firearm.
The Hypocrisy
Cabinet ministers travel with heavily armed VIP protection. The President's security detail carries military-grade weapons. Yet ordinary citizens are told they cannot own a firearm to protect their families.
Our Position
This proposal places innocent families in greater danger. We oppose it with formal legal submissions and citizen mandates.
