Mandela’s approach in SA was to have registration, licensing (with a 2 year wait for a restrictive license), police inspection of the storage location for firearms before they are purchased, insurance, must belong to a club, and other commonsense, reasonable things...
And SA brought their murder rate down to the second or third highest in the world.
...and the last time I was there, Johannesburg was the “most dangerous city in the world” - according to the UN.
Apparently, Mike “The Gun Guy” has no idea that Mandela was a Communist, according to a friend from Zimbabwe.
