Saudis Loosen Gun Laws, But Will American Mainstream Media Report This Fact?
The Saudi government has changed a rule that will allow for the sale of personal firearms, The Gulf News reports. This is in part to “rein in the widespread illegal ownership of handguns and assault weapons.”
What is interesting about this is that it runs contrary to the American solution, which seems to be reducing private ownership to reduce crime. But it should be stressed that Saudi Arabia has had strict gun laws, but that hasn’t reduced crime. Now instead, the government is allowing guns with the hope that it will curb the sale of illegal firearms.
Let’s just hope things don’t have to go full circle in this country
