klas_goran says... Dear Flysouth. We can debate without telleing each other we are stupid cant´t we? I mean debate without anger. It is interessting you compare with the US. There you have a country defending \the freedom to wear weapon\. Time after time there are killings by guns in schools..This killings has not been done with defined criminals...I do not think that you will kill because of your weapon, this is more related to the discurse or maybe even the South African paradigm there killing is something around all of us....How will you change this? What to do? You are far away from the Rainbowe nation. How to reach it? Not by allowing people to wear weapon, for sure not. You want a gun to protect yourself. That means you are scared. This fear is a threat in itself. I guess there is a great need to adress the issue of violence. That is something the national government must face and take seriously. I know this isn´t done over a night but sometimes it has to start. \r\nSorry for misspelling Read the article...
