Gun laws are so strict in South Africa that most South Africans are just handing in their guns at the police stations. If they were not able to obtain a licence and they were caught with the guns they would be committing a criminal offence which would most certainly include a jail sentence. Now most law-abiding South African are unarmed while almost all criminals are armed and dangerous. Now it’s like Deer hunting in South Africa “Open Season” only the season is all year-long.
It seems that this could happen where you live too, if Gun Control is passed.
