FG To Legalize Arms Possessions For Nigerians by caniva(m): 7:34am On Nov 13, 2014
Do you know why Policemen and other law enforcement agencies don't harass the Americans? Because every Citizen has a gun.


Nigerian shouldn't be an exemption. If FG could legalize possession of arms for NIGERIANS, am sure the country will get better.


Please don't get it twisted, there would be a Control Agency that will scrutinized applicants in respect of purpose/reason, age, character, psyco-mental balance and other necessaries before giving license to possess arm.


My view: Police, Army and Other enforcement agencies would approach citizens not with fear but with utmost respect and regards, ask reasonable questions and either arrest or release if guilty/not guilty as the case may be.


Or what do you think?

Hahaha...very fun but I may agree with you to some extent. Yes Nigerians will be better protected,perhaps the harassment by the police may decline somewhat but have bothered to look at the flip side? Given the degree of lawlessness in this country,if such is done,there will be mayhem on the streets. Every argument,disagreement and such will be settled with a few shots.

There is no such policy yet and there are guns everywhere,what do you think will happen if bearing of firearms becomes legalized? Hehehe

You say an agency should be set up to monitor every every Abi? Okay na. Abeg which monitoring agency don ever dey effective for this country?. You'll only be giving such an agency power to sell firearms to the highest bidder.

So my good sir,such a policy may be okay in the distant future but certainly not now....

Re: FG To Legalize Arms Possessions For Nigerians by Nobody: 8:34am On Nov 13, 2014
In this lawless society that we are living in and the clueless govt want to legalize arms. Hmmm they will start shooting em'selves in that NA whenever one argument arise.

Imagine a scenerio where a lecturer is giving a student a very hard time, the next option for the student will be to blow up the lecturer's brain.


So this idea is a NO NO NO for me.

My dear friend, it took the americans more than 150 years to have majority of its citizens civilized , we haven't gotten there yet. if passed , you will still come here to lament how crime has increased in your neighborhood. Besides, I think our police are not readily empowered to handle that stage yet.

Many people have their guns already, while allow only the bad people carry the guns. Legalizing guns will quickly reduce lawlessness in the country.
Re: FG To Legalize Arms Possessions For Nigerians by Nobody: 2:47pm On Nov 13, 2014
Guns are everywhere and easy to get in Nigeria even though illegal. Several people owns guns in their homes but they don't use it to intimidate or harass people, it is meant for protection.

Legalising guns won't stop police harassment and that the police in America doesn't harass people anyhow is not because they are armed rather it is because of the law and the respect of the law which is actually non existent in Nigeria, I hardly see a Nigerian that cares about what the law says of not, everyone is their own law.

Nigeria isn't yet riped for legalising guns, lots of things will go bad. Family dispute will be settled with guns, football arguments will be settled with shooting.

But is has one advantage angry. The police will be scared of messing around
