SOUTH AFRICA GUN OWNERS

South Africa gun owners

epa09472770 Weapons instructor Ridwaan Syed (unseen) instructs three citizens on gun ownership as they go through the process of applying for a new gun license at the East Coast Guns shop and training center, Durban, South Africa, 03 September 2021 (issued 17 September 2021). Gun ownership applications increased hugely after the recent violence related to the arrest of former President Zuma. Ridwaan Syed said that it went from 10 applications a month to 90 a month directly after the looting and violence that was worst in the Durban area. Fear of future violence is fueling South Africans' interest in guns, as legislation allows ? for the time being, as there is an amendment bill under discussion ? their possession for self-defense.
