With the indiscriminate corruption, robbery, looting, thievery, vandalism, abuse of human rights & all. I am of the opinion that Nigerians should be allowed to own guns & firearms for both their personal safety & protection of their fundamental human rights. It is a well known fact that Nigeria has an insensitive Government & corrupt Leaders, this is why nothing seems to be working in the country & 1 major reason why The country with all its potentials has not been able to maximize these potentials to be amongst the great nations of the world. A country whose Government can't provide electricity, good roads, water, shelter talkless of security for its citizens. I know many people might be of the view that Nigeria is not ripe enough for this way of life, but i say this thought is wrong. If the militants had not taken up arms to get their message across to the govt, the Nigerian Government would never have taken them seriously. Not saying i am in support of the militants but this scenario can only occur when u have an insensitive Government. A country where the so called police meant to maintain law & order, secure lives & property are equally lawless & as bad as the thieves & robbers they are meant to fight. Where the Police can commit so many atrocities like extra judicial killing of the citizens they are meant to protect & go Scot free cos why they are the law & they carry GUNS. Where any slowpoke can rob you of your belongings & life cos he/she has a GUN & there isn't adequate security in place to protect you. I SAY A BIG YES TO OWNING A GUN(s). Then maybe our government can listen to us & not take us for granted. And we can equally be able to protect our lives & properties without dependin on the so called FCUKin Nigerian Police Force. & also protect our fundamental human rights & our way of life.

[size=18pt]HA HA HA HA, LOOK AT THIS FUNNY TEXAN, YOU THINK SAY NAIJA NA USA. What is good for the goose is not always good for the gander. If you let Nigerians own guns, the country would descend into chaos.[/size]

emmydee:

Yes, Nigerians should be allowed officially, to carry arms!

I would say a big YES to this , it may sound sucidal but I am absolutely sure it ensure security of lives and properties . An armed robber planning to rob will think twice before doing it . Most armed robbers are already suicidal, desperate or drugged up. Try and reason with ap erson who feels indestructable and on drugs.The robber will know there is a very good chance EVERYBODY is armed , so he/she will need to imagine the consequence very well Go in shooting everyone, like they do already?? Furthermore , I am sure the police will now learn to treat citizens with due respect , especially at their ever increasing check points , they know you have a gun Shouldn't a better police force be the aim, and not to reduce the interest and no. of applicants for that job role, do we want to intimidate those who are to keep us safe, to the point,, just like they do , so the respect comes and they learn to do their job and let you go ; Imagine our Higher institutions where some sick power drunk students intimidate their mates because they have acquired guns ilegally , Wow , it will simply erase the era of cult intimidation of students It definitely won't. Guns are legal in America, and there are sorority/society cults there too.. It may initially cause some little skirmishes here and there These are valuable human lives!!( which is like a norm now in some parts of the country ) , untll everybody learns that " guns dont kill people , people kill people " , Im out.
