South Africa Calls for 300,000 Gun Owners to Turn Over Their Weapons

excerpt - Now that the High Court’s initial ruling has been overturned, gun owners who failed to renew their firearms licenses must hand in their firearms to the nearest police station, where authorities will then proceed to destroy them.

A similar thing happened to me in CA around 1998/99. Then Governor Red Davis's AG decided that the "Assault Weapons" Registration amnesty (which I took advantage of) was deemed illegal, thus all the people that registered weapons under the amnesty (me), would have to turn them in. The letter also informed me that my local Sheriff was forwarded a copy of the letter and my contact information so they could "follow up" on my turn-in.

This is when I learned the tough lesson that gun registration is nothing but ameans to an end; that end being confiscation. I solved the problem by buying property in WA and leaving CA post-haste. The two "items" in questions we disassembled and remained so until 17 years later when I reached the Free State of Texas... where these "items" may now also live free.

I will NEVER; EVER "register" a gun again my life. Why I complied in the first place was out of sheer frustration and fear that if anything happened in my home and LEO's had to enter... they would be the focus of a some serious legal trouble for me. And in the end, that registration put me square in the crosshairs of the government... just like those people in S.A. are now enjoying.

Gun grabbers... some of the lowest scum on the planet, IMHO.

As the article stated, this is all going hand in hand with the land confiscation.

Why don't the farmers burn everything and walk off? Completely decimate the skilled farmers in the area and give the south African government everything they want?

Then after the dead start stacking up. Return back for the desperate land grants being offered in an effort to feed the county.

The gun control angle is completely retarded. A better move would be not allowing the Chinese to mind uranium. Then again, the dark continent isn't know for doing anything unless things are whored out with money.

Land is easier to grab when the serfs are disarmed..

Serfs UP!

Any more questions on why on a personal gun buy I refuse to give any information or sign a bill of sale.

The farmers don't have to burn anything. Once the land is grabbed and turned over to political/tribal cronies it will go downhill fast. Just look at what happened to Rhodesia, the natives took over, renames it Zimbabwe, grabbed the land, gave it to their cronies and now they're starving. Rhodesia under the colonial rule and white farmers was the breadbasket of Africa. They produced enough food to feed the whole continent. Now they can't even feed themselves.

The most peaceful and productive period in African history was during the colonial era. If you want to get right down to brass tacks you'll be hard pressed to find any place that has blacks in charge that's successful.

So you don't buy any new guns. You don't buy guns from stores. You're basically going down to the corner and asking Roscoe if he's got any gats for sale?

That's not exactly what he said....

When I sell a gun I just want to see a Texas LTC. That's scant CYA since most prohibited persons don't have one. To me someone who refuses to show a LTC has something to hide.

Isn't it possible to show an LTC, but not give information?


ETA: I'll show my LTC, but I wont let anyone copy down the info.
I understand it is possible to have a photographic memory, but it's probably pretty rare.

avvidclif has stated he refuses to show a LTC or DL.

By the way, the correct term is eidetic memory.

Or, as an alternative - go down to the corner and ask Gat if he's got any roscoes for sale.

Not necessarily, I don't have one. Does that mean I have something to hide?
I'm buying guns legally left and right.

I darn sure would

That would be different.

​

I knew that, but I ran out of toner, so I forgot.....

 

[avvidclif]

I do have a license to carry but it's probably not like one you have ever seen. And I have to qualify every year to maintain it. And it's not the LTC course, that's a joke.

If I want something bad enough I will buy from a LGS. The ones I buy from individuals are something that either is something I want or a good deal. No ID is required by any law for that type of transaction.

I'm one of the lucky ones, but it's not like what you might see on TV. You know the type, where a 2 second casual glance offers up the ability to permanently recall something in exacting detail, forever? It doesn't exactly work like that, and the ability had actually faded a little bit with age.
