Who Guards the Guards in South African?

South Africa has seen significant change in recent decades. While the nation’s racial equality has proven to allow more opportunities for all residents of the land at the tip of Africa, it has also sadly become a land that rivals the American Wild West or the Prohibition Era of gangsters. Crime is (in a word) everywhere. And despite gun bans, criminals easily get the goods. The Telegraph UK reports:
”A parliamentary committee heard that 2,944 police weapons were lost or stolen between January and September last year – more than in the whole of 2008, which was itself an increase on 2007″
And with missing guns, what does the police department do? Orders more guns:
“Dianne Kohler Barnard, the opposition Democratic Alliance shadow police minister, said that the state weapons manufacturer Armscor had recently ordered 4,000 replacement 9mm handguns made by the Italian manufacturer Beretta.”
This is yet another example that shoud serve as warnings to anyone who thinks buybacks and tougher laws will really keep guns out of criminal’s hands.
