I've just sent out an email about 45 minutes ago, I've cc'd a number of individuals, Jonathan Deal responded and said he will post a video on his YouTube channel.

I did join, but my Telegram account got cloned, or my name used, and I stopped everything for a while.

*Strong calls for action after 1 725 SAPS firearms go missing in past 3 years*


Claire Taylor, a researcher for GFSA, said the latest stats "shine a light on a small part of a much bigger picture of where guns used to commit most gun violence in SA come from".

"The easy availability of guns in South Africa has led to an epidemic of gun violence in which 31 people are shot and killed every day in the country.

We urgently need two key weapons and ammunition interventions to stop this bloodbath. First, co-ordinated efforts to recover and destroy illegal guns, and second, closing the taps from which legal guns are leaking into the illegal pool, which requires tightening controls over legal firearms," said Taylor.

GFSA also wants the government to establish specialised firearms units to recover and destroy illegal firearms.

They have also urged that the Central Firearms Registry be able to track every single gun owned by civilians and the state "from cradle to grave".

What do you think is criminalised by the FCA, that shouldn't be?

The Free Market Foundation South Africa is compiling an index of South Africa's excessive criminalisation laws.

What sections of the Firearms Control Act that carry criminal penalties, do you think should not carry criminal penalties?

We'll start: possession of ammunition for a calibre other than one you have a licenced firearm for.

*** For starters, ammunition limits, components etc.

South Africa's deadly love affair with guns.

Not much to complain about in that one other than them leaning into the race angle. A more balanced article than we usually get out of what passes for journalists right here.

Greetings everyone,

This is just a quick post.

As we are aware saferspaces.org.za is very much connected and in the same camp as GFSA, they currently have this Survey available until the 12 of April, there are a few sections/comment sections where you can input your "disagreement" etc.

Make use of this Survey to have your say, or to "mess/skew the results" a bit.
