The Rwandan genocide began on April 7, 1994 and ended on July 19, 1994. In those 103 terror filled days, over 800,000 people from the Tutsi Tribe were killed. The Law on the Control of Firearms enacted in 1964 made the murderous job of the Hutu Tribe easier. The Hutu not only had firearms, they were government-issued firearms.

It was Decree-Law No. 12 was passed in 1979:
•Register guns, owners, ammunition
•Owners must justify need
•Concealable guns illegal
•Confiscating powers

Hmmm...similar to what the Nazis did to the Jews before they rounded them up: took their guns away.
