Nigerian State to Allow Individuals to Carry Guns Against Bandits
US News & World Report ^ | 06/26/2022 | Reuters

Nigeria's Zamfara state will start issuing licences to individuals to carry guns to defend themselves against armed gangs of kidnappers causing havoc in the country's northwest, the state's commissioner for information said on Sunday. Armed gangs are rife across Nigeria's northwest where they rob or kidnap for ransom, and violence has been increasing, where thinly stretched security forces often fail to stop the attacks.

The gunmen, known locally as bandits, operate from remote forests in the northwest and their deadly attacks and kidnappings, targeting villagers, farmers and travellers, have increased since the start of the year. Zamfara and neighbouring Kaduna are the most affected, authorities say. Ibrahim Magaji Dosara, Zamfara commissioner for information said the state governor had directed the state police commissioner to issue 500 gun licences in each of the 19 emirates in the state to those wishing to defend themselves.

Sounds like the Supreme Court ruling last week is starting to rub off on other countries.

Why that’s crazy.

Imagine self-defense by carrying a gun.

That’s one reason the American People need guns—to protect themselves from bandits, primarily the ones in Washington.

“..to protect themselves from bandits, primarily the ones in Washington...”

^THIS^
They’re slowing bleeding us out.
What they can’t steal through their legalized theft schemes (taxes), they steal and rape us through inflation.
How much more are the People gonna tolerate of this BS?
We need a “reset” alright....a HUGE tax reset and that’s just for starters.

Bandits need to start campaigning for candidates that will promise to make laws forbidding the ownership of guns. Sorta like Dims in the US.

I also wonder how much more the People are going to tolerate.

The Decadence of Western Civilization in America has reached the grotesque:

transvestite spectacles in the US military,
emasculation of the US military,
infanticide,
a puppet buffoon in the Presidency,
an obscene Stalinist show trial against a political rival,
grammar school children taught sexual perversion,
the US Free Press perverted into a crass and mendacious propaganda machine,
ubiquitous hatred by Americans toward the USA,
the Democrat Party serving as a fifth column for America's enemies,
corruption of America's once trusted government agencies,
rampant crime everywhere in America,
porous borders open to terrorists, criminals, illegal drugs, sex trafficking,
rampant inflation,
the stock market in a downward spiral,
human excrement, drugs, drug paraphernalia, and homeless encampments littering the streets of America's once glittering cities,
American businesses and corporations yielding to the most absurd perversions,
corrupt American politicians selling America to her foreign enemies!

How much will the American People tolerate?

What will it take to awaken America's useful idiots to reality?
