This should only be enforced in the North |

EgunMogaji2: The Constitution is actually silent on firearms except to consign it to the exclusive legislative list. So there is a firearms act and several supporting pieces of legislation. That aside, yes, handguns are banned but that is a balanced way of doing things since the greatest threat Nigerians face is a home invasion or, of recent, invasive terrorism. Shotguns and sophisticated hunting rifles, are sufficient for defending against these, in my opinion. I don't really see a reason for Nigerians to move around armed. Yes, there are threats like armed robbery, but one person, no matter how well-armed isn't going to be able to outshoot a gang of robbers with AKs. That leaves only one other purpose I can think of, which is intimidating fellow citizens over trivial disagreements. I don't think we want a society where a simple traffic disagreement can degenerate into a shootout as happens frequently Stateside. |

Loveurneighbour: This is not a way to go by cause in the end after the whole of insecurities had die down who will checkmate those in possession of fire arms we are not even close to a nation that deserve such rights,look at america as of today. Killings everywhere,just imagine same scenario in nigeria with the level of unemployments and frustrating situations all around and you still expect someone from such unstable countries to have access to firearms…infact the insecurities will be overwhelming …then you will be seeing corpses on every street,corners etc pls just strike off the thought of legalizing fire arms |

DSS assured CAN that there's no need to panic If they believe that coming from the same DSS that knows where these terrorists stay then they're actually more stupid than I thought |

SmartyPants: I disagree. Let the citizens decide what armament and usage they desire. If someone wants to limit himself to shotgun then fine. But allow those of us who desire concealable weapons should be allowed too. On this matter of violence, there are laws that govern gun usage. America is not a crazed gun country as people portray. In my 33 years I’ve only had a firearm pulled on me just twice. We don’t go around offing each other because of a fender bender. Anyways, the Nigerian criminal elements don’t care about laws and they’re already armed too. 1 Like |

Vado: It's a seamless system, I'm rather sure there are some firemans dealers on NL here who can even help you with the process. But please if you are going to own a gun ensure you know how to safely operate it, you are mentally capable of it's ownership and use and you can safely store it. |

In a country like a jungle, CAN wants to legalize firearms. People just make statement with emotions and not with logic. CAN leadership should be thinking better. |

IF THIS IS REALLY FROM CAN, THEN I MUST SAY THEY ARE THINKING WITH BUTTS, SEE WHAT'S HAPPENING NOW THAT ARMS ARE NOT LEGALIZE, THINK OF WHAT WILL BE HAPPENING AFTER IT IS LEGALIZE. |

post=113719798: Even in America — an acclaimed “saner clime” — they’re already protesting the legalization of gun, after experiencing series of gun attacks orchestrated by citizens. |

Athemisia:There will be a balance of terror. Those who are currently killing others with guns will be reluctant since their would be victims will be likely armed too |

Athemisia: They have refused to regulate it in the US not that it can't be regulated. With the right laws and policies, we can have a civil legal firearms use in this country. However, like every other thing before it, we are known to abuse everything and for that I doubt the law will work and agree with you |
Re: Owo Massacre: CAN Calls For Legalisation Of Firearms For Nigerians by maasoap(m): 11:06am On Jun 12, 2022 |
fasho01: Can anything be regulated in Nigeria? May be FG should start with gun license for private security firms in Nigeria so that individuals and organisations can hire them for protection. |

UselessBuhari: Mass shootings and gun violence in USA will be a child's play compare to what will be happening in Nigeria! |

Re: Owo Massacre: CAN Calls For Legalisation Of Firearms For Nigerians by fasho01(m): 11:10am On Jun 12, 2022 |
maasoap: You're right. Nothing can truly be regulated in this country. Like every other thing before it, we are known to abuse everything and even these security firms will abuse it too |

MT:Fulani, you want to continue having monopoly of violence, it won't work |
Re: Owo Massacre: CAN Calls For Legalisation Of Firearms For Nigerians by UselessBuhari: 11:14am On Jun 12, 2022 |
maasoap:Mass shootings are already happening in Nigeria. If some of the Owo church members were armed, many of your Fulani Muslim brothers would have gone down and that would have reduced the casualty on the side of the church members and also made the remaining Fulani muslim killers who escaped to think twice before embarking on such mission anywhere again. Hope you get the point now? |

SmartyPants:Nigerians should carry AKs too, all the criminals are already carrying it |
Re: Owo Massacre: CAN Calls For Legalisation Of Firearms For Nigerians by SmartyPants(m): 11:18am On Jun 12, 2022 |
EgunMogaji2: You've only had a gun pulled on you twice? Bros, I'd say one time is one time too many. You'd have to be seriously desensitized to gun violence to feel that having a gun pulled on you twice is normal. But what's the argument for carrying handguns - other than just wanting it? |
Re: Owo Massacre: CAN Calls For Legalisation Of Firearms For Nigerians by UselessBuhari: 11:18am On Jun 12, 2022 |
Lekmanz87:There are far more killings in Nigeria than America. As it is now, guns are only in the hands of the bad people, we need guns in the hands of good people too to balance it |
Re: Owo Massacre: CAN Calls For Legalisation Of Firearms For Nigerians by SmartyPants(m): 11:19am On Jun 12, 2022 |
UselessBuhari: You'd still have no chance of winning a shootout so what's the point? |
