The View Point 27 August 2019 Are guns an effective tool for self defence
Songezo Mabece was in conversation with Adele Kirsten, Director at Gun Free South Africa
Research in South Africa confirms global data which shows that more women are killed by an intimate partner than a stranger. As of 2018, eight women are murdered a day, an estimated three of whom are shot and killed. A further risk is that guns bought for self-defence end up arming criminals. Guns are highly prized items and are targeted by criminals who cannot acquire guns legally. A gun in the home is also more likely to be used to commit murder, suicide or to threaten and intimidate someone known to the shooter. We’re in conversation with Gun Free South Africa and we get an understanding of why people still insist on buying guns for self defence even when they pose so much danger?
