Gun Control Kills

An outbreak of xenophobic violence, also known as ethnic cleansing, has resulted in the murders of 56 people and forced thousands more to take shelter in camps, community halls and churches across South Africa – the victims are foreigners who are strictly forbidden from owning guns.
Foreigners in Gauteng Province are suffering from gunshot and stab wounds, while many others have been raped, fatally beaten and burned alive.

Thomas Eastes, national chairman of Gun Owners of South Africa, said foreigners are unable to defend themselves from such atrocities because they are not allowed to be armed in South Africa. He believes the rise in crime and chaos is chiefly a result of the Firearms Control Act passed by the South African Parliament.

“Arming foreigners and as many citizens in South Africa will surely provide an equal opportunity of survival for all,” Eastes said. “The weak, the marginalised, the oppressed and frail have a chance of survival if they are armed. I believe that firearm ownership places great responsibility on people but also enables foreigners and legal citizens not to live in fear.”

Approximately 22,000 people are murdered annually in the country for being of another race, Eastes said. Some are killed because they own cars or $5 cell phones.

Mbeki disarms law-abiding refugees and citizens while widespread crime is rampant in South Africa, Makumbirofa said. Thieves and outlaws are free to do whatever they wish with their victims.

“Guns will help innocent people to protect themselves from criminals, robbers, murderers, rapist and car hijackers,” he said. “Criminals will become afraid of armed citizens because tyrants do not want armed citizens. Genocide [color="Red"]is preceded by tight gun-control laws.”

Eastes asserts responsible firearm ownership is the answer and would help shield a defenseless populace from rape, torture and slaughter.

“Without the means to protect yourself and your family, you are not a citizen but a mere subject,” he said. “This is well explained by the brilliant Founding Fathers who wrote the USA’s Constitution and firmly entrenched rights to firearm ownership in their Second Amendment.”
