freakshow10mm, Thanks. So it all comes down to 1930's gangsters and the depression (supressors) ;P Is there any chance of the goverment updating these laws?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics See above link for some interesting reading - covers about 12 countries in detail. In South Africa we used to have pretty decent laws, until the new communist anc gov came into power, became paranoid and introduced new laws to reduce civilian gun...

I don't really get why your (US) goverment would have such a problem with automatic weapons. As I read it from outside the US, Americans can have as many weapons and ammo as they want, including semi auto rifles and shotguns. Why is your goverment so concerned with full autos?

LegalAlien, I've stopped giving a damn about what happens to zim (a month after elections and no results to release - obviously mcrobber has lost otherwise it would have been anounced immediately). All criminals that lived in zim bebore 2000 have already moved to South Africa (whats there...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_politics Gives info on the laws in 12 countries.

RSA > We used to have it relatively good before 2003/2004. You could own any number of guns (auto and semi auto rifles were a more difficult to get, but not impossible) provided you were not a criminal or crazy and could safely store the guns in a safe. Life was good. I got a pistol legally...

I have taken my sister and her friends shooting as well and what I've seen is the following: 1. They are nervous about how the gun functions and they fear any recoil. 2. After the first shot they are relieved that they have not been thrown backwards like in the movies, and they want to...

If you really have to get to a site try this: http://babelfish.altavista.com/ I Choose: dutch > english on thr and it worked although some words may end up being translated. Try another language ;P

Denel, the parent company of PMP makes(made) everything from 22lr to military weapons\ammo. Their ammo is of good quality, but... 1. They sell (sold) ammo much cheaper in the USA than over here (a big screw you to South Africans). This became public knowledge a few years ago. Many angry...

Cmdr. Gravez0r, It's a common sight. They even do that when transporting cash to and from the campus ATM's. You turn a crowded corner on your way to the book store and walk into a guy covered in chest\back armour, with an R4\LM4(?) rifle, a revolver strapped on and looking rather stressed...

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gun_control Look in the right "gun politics" section. Ordinary foreigners can bring guns to South Africa for carry, but I took a look at the new FCA of 2000's section about it and it's practically impossible. We can carry concealed all we want if the gun is...

Lee Lapin, securityarms.com/20010315/galleryfiles/1300/1320.htm The police here in SA normally use the Z88, a very good copy of the Beretta 92 and use normal FMJ ammo. I saw the report on the news the day it occured, the guys wife said he shot sixteen times, so he emptied the mag. The...

I'm from South Africa, 23 years of age, white male. Been lurking a few months and finally did it - decide to come up with a user name (hard part) and register. When you find you start going for the reply button and it's not there, it's time to register. .22LR competitive shooting all...
