What Nigerians need are what they cal PDW. Personal Defense Weapons especially during riots.

People have the right to protect their lives and property. If you were afraid of being a victim you will also get a firearm

like a small revolver or something.

It seems like there is a misconception about the USA. People there are polite to each other and don't talk trash to any stranger like in Nigeria. Legalized guns will make Nigerians more respectful to each other. It will also improve civil rights. I know there will be some senseless violence in the beginning like for 2 months. After that Nigerians will learn to respect the gun as they go to a few funerals and understand it's power. Y'all shouldn't be too scared. I'll open up a funeral home for the projected business boom.

strangleyo: Abuja — Christian Association of Nigeria (CAN) yesterday disclosed that it was considering sending a bill that would allow every adult to carry arms as a way of checking unwarranted attacks to the National Assembly.

The body also took a swipe at what it called the non-challant attitude of President Umaru Musa Yar Adua and Vice President Goodluck Jonathan to the violent crisis in some parts of the North, asking them to resign if they cannot proffer solutions to the problem.

Reviewing the religious crisis in Bauchi and the attendant death toll, CAN Secretary General, Samuel S. Salifu , said at a news conference that it was passing a vote of no confidence on Yar'Adua and Jonathan for their alleged inability to proffer solutions to the crisis.

CAN said it received the news of the killings in Bauchi over the weekend with deep pain and sorrow, adding that it was considering sending a bill to the National Assembly on gun ownership in the country.

"We met this morning and we are considering sending a bill to the National Assembly to facilitate adults who are twenty one years and above to make it legal to own arms and weapons.

"Everybody should buy his own gun, Right now, as we are talking, they are still killing people in Bauchi. Where are the security people?" he said.

CAN said reports from Bauchi State showed that about 11 Nigerians were burnt to death out of which six were christians while three were burnt beyond recognition. It said 12 churches and a mosque were burnt and several houses destroyed over the weekend in the mayhem.

According to the CAN scribe, "over the weekend and even today (yesterday), we got the reports on the killings and we tried to reach on phone one of the Special Advisers to the Governor by name Adamu, who assured us that the situation was under control but thereafter I asked him to call me back but he didn't up till now. We also tried to reach the Vice President on the situation but could not.

" What bothers us most is that the president and vice president of this country have the responsibility of providing security for the citizens, The perception there fore to CAN is that the President and the Vice are very weak in tackling the situation".

Because if these things happens in other parts of the world, in whatever form, you find the president coming out to address the country.


"This is not the first time we have been having this in this country. We had it during Shagari time, he was a muslim too, but he talked on it, so we don't know why our present president is dumb and is saying nothing. As Christians with options , we are expecting the president to come out and condemn this act as soon as possible. Life is sacred and it must be respected. If he finds it very difficult, himself and his vice and they are not intending to take responsibility, then they should resign."

^^ I agree, Nigerians should have the right to carry arms. With all these gangs running amok with illegal arms, nothing better than having your own legal one just in case.
