The Second Amendment is quintessential to the American story. There isn’t a United States without arms, there isn’t an end to the Civil War without arms. There isn’t any meaningful resistance to the horrors of the Jim Crow era without Southern Blacks being armed against tyrannical local and state governments, despite anti-2A laws to disarm them. The irony is some of those same laws have been cited today by states such as Hawaii and North Carolina to justify firearm restrictions. Some of the most consequential moments in American history have involved firearms in some capacity. It’s a rich part of our history that shouldn’t be infringed. Despite the statistical fact that law-abiding gun owners rarely ever commit firearms related offenses, despite the fact that Americans of all backgrounds enjoy the freedoms guaranteed by the Second Amendment for a multitude of purposes, anti-Second Amendment political leaders like the governor in my state of Virginia continue restricting the rights of Virginians under the guise of public safety. If the governor and her Democratic majority truly want to address public safety, they should focus on improving the education in underserved areas, focus on expanding economic opportunities that put men to work, providing a mentorship pipeline for young men, and incentivizing stronger family units. All of those efforts would produce far better outcomes in reducing crime than violating the rights of law-abiding gun owners. So we’ll continue to enjoy this right on the range, at shooting competitions, while hunting as we challenge the state in court for its obvious violation of the second amendment. The following groups need the support of gun owners as lawsuits are extremely costly: SAF, NRA, Gun Owners of America, National Association for Gun Rights,vcdl.org, Firearms Policy Coalition, NSSF—The Firearm Industry Trade Association

The Firearms Control Amendment Bill cannot be steamrolled through Parliament. In the Portfolio Committee on Police, I raised a serious concern with the Civilian Secretariat for Police Service. On slide 9 of their presentation, the Secretariat referred to the review of the Firearms Control Amendment Bill and used the words “to ensure enactment.” That wording matters. It suggests that the outcome has already been decided: push the Bill through, and treat Parliament and public participation as process boxes to tick afterwards. I asked the Secretariat directly whether they intend to advance the Bill in its current form, or whether they are prepared to substantially reconsider it based on actual evidence and stakeholder input. Because right now, the approach does not line up with the serious concerns raised by stakeholders, the slow Nedlac process, and the failures we already see in the current firearm control system. My question was simple: Why is the Department prioritising further legislative restriction before demonstrating measurable improvements in: -the Central Firearms Registry; -SAPS’s own firearm losses; -illegal firearm recovery; -firearm tracing; -ballistic capacity; and -actual enforcement against criminal possession of firearms? I also made it clear: the Portfolio Committee on Police is not a rubber stamp. The Secretariat then made an important concession. They accepted that the word “enactment” may need to be revised. More importantly, they confirmed that they have commissioned research into whether the current firearm legislation is actually being fully implemented, and what the failures in implementation are. The most important line from the response was this: “We can’t rush to the amendment of legislation if, for instance, it’s the failures of the implementation of the current legislation.” That is exactly the point. Marco van Niekerk captured this well in his article. The concern is that government appears to be moving towards new restrictions before properly diagnosing the real problem. He also points out that the failures are not theoretical: CFR dysfunction, state firearm losses, weak tracing capability, and limited enforcement against criminal possession of illegal firearms are all part of the problem. (Here is Marco’s article on The Common Sense: And to add insult to injury, this past week the SANDF confirmed that military weapons were stolen from Tek Base in Lyttelton. Reports state that three R4 assault rifles and a grenade launcher were stolen after a break-in was discovered on 27 April. Access was suspected to have been gained by cutting a hole in the perimeter fence, and a burglar door was forced open. That raises obvious questions. Where were the controls? Was there functioning CCTV? Were there alarm systems? Were there access logs? Were there armed patrols? Were inventories being audited? How can military-grade weapons be stolen from a base while government wants to tell law-abiding citizens that the problem is that they are not regulated enough? This is the contradiction. The State loses firearms. The State fails to secure military weapons. The State struggles with tracing and ballistics. The CFR remains dysfunctional. Criminals continue to possess illegal firearms. But the policy answer is apparently more restriction on lawful firearm owners. That is not good enough. South Africa does not need symbolic legislation. We need enforcement. We need working systems. We need accountability. We need functioning ballistics. We need a competent CFR. We need state-owned firearms secured. We need illegal firearms recovered. We need criminals prosecuted. Any revised Firearms Control Amendment Bill must be evidence-based, transparent and properly consulted on. No steamrolling. No predetermined enactment. No rubber-stamping. Fix the State’s failures first.
