South African Police Service Blames Legal Gun
Owners
SOUTH AFRICA
– -(Ammoland.com)- The SOUTH AFRICAN GUNOWNERS’ ASSOCIATION (SAGA) has taken note of the
advertisement on the official South African Police Service website entitled
“ILLEGAL GUNS TAKE INNOCENT LIVES”.
The advertisement states that, “the
majority of these illegal guns come from legal owners who were either negligent
or robbed of their gun, which ends up with the gun being used for criminal
activities”.
While it is an indisputable fact that
illegally possessed firearms are used in the commission of crimes, it is most
unfortunate that the South African Police Service has seen fit to blame “legal owners” as being the major source of illegally possessed firearms while on
their own admission the police themselves are losing more than 4,000 firearms
per year.
It is further unfortunate that the
South African Police Service are apparently joining ranks with organizations
that are advocating a so-called “gun-free
South Africa” instead of fulfilling their Constitutional responsibility of
protecting the citizens of South Africa by arresting those persons responsible
for committing crimes with illegally possessed firearms.
