"BurfordTJustice" wrote in message news : South Africa Calls for 300,000 Gun Owners to Turn Over Their Weapons : : : South Africa is opening the door for tyranny. : : The Constitutional Court of South Africa recently ruled that 300,000 gun : owners must turn in their firearms. : : This judgement came in response to the North Gauteng High Court's ruling in : 2017 which said Section 24 and Section 28 of the Firearm's Control Act were : unconstitutional. : : A report from The Citizen explains what Section 24 and Section 28 entail: : : "Section 24 of the Act requires that any person who seeks to renew a : licence must do so 90 days before its expiry date Section 28 stipulates that : if a firearm licence has been cancelled, the firearm must be disposed of or : forfeited to the state. A 60-day time frame was placed on its disposal, : which was to be done through a dealer." : : 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. : : Many naïve political observers will paint this event as a casual gun control : scheme, but any astute student of politics will recognize that the : floodgates are now open for further encroachments - not only on the gun : rights of South Africans, but also on others facets of theirs lives. : : A look at South Africa's current political climate will give us an idea of : the potential ramifications of this gun control scheme. : : Political Trouble Brewing in South Africa? : Though South Africa witnessed rising levels of economic freedom shortly : after Apartheid ended in 1994, the country has taken a more interventionist : path to economic development in recent years. : : This situation is becoming more pronounced with the South African National : Assembly recently voting 241-83 to amend the South African constitution to : allow for land expropriation without compensation. : : The socialist-leaning African National Congress (ANC) and the Economic : Freedom Fighters (EFF) parties are leading the charge for expropriation : under the banner of fixing racial disparities that have supposedly remained : intact since Apartheid's conclusion. : : While land confiscation has not been officially finalized, South Africans : should worry about the direction their country is going. : : And how does gun control fit into this equation? : : Gun Control: A Tool for Tyranny : No matter how socialist apologists rationalize it, the redistributionist : agenda the South African government is pursuing will not be implemented : passively. Ultimately, it must be carried out by force. : : The kind of force socialists seek is a monopolized kind, which extreme forms : of gun control like gun confiscation help facilitate. : : The history of gun confiscation is one of repeated cases of tyranny. : : From countries such as Cuba to the Soviet Union, aspiring demagogues have : used gun confiscation to disarm the populace. Logically, an unarmed populace : will put up little resistance against their tyrannical acts. : : In South Africa's case, farmers and their workers are already suffering : ongoing attacks against their property. One could only imagine what it would : be like for these persecuted farmers once they are stripped of their right : to self-defense. : For many Americans who have enjoyed historically unprecedented gun rights, : South Africa's gun control experience may seem distant and strange. : : But make no mistake about it, South Africa's latest flirtation with gun : control is not based on good intentions, especially when considering the : political climate the country is enduring. : : South Africa should serve as a fair warning to Americans of the dangerous : consequences gun control poses. : : On 7/13/18 6:29 AM, BurfordTJustice wrote: Replying to yourself is a sure sign of mental illness. |
