Laws are basically made for the poor and those not connected. It is perfectly legal to own shotguns in Nigeria and some classes of hunting rifles but then, there are those who own guns not meant to be owned by private citizens and they aren't breaking the law. With the right connections, you can too.

Also, there are those who own them illegally. Cultists and militants and legal business people as well. Where are the guns coming from, how are they being sold, who's selling them? You will never know until you need one. I am for the right to be able to protect oneself and properties. I am for the right to be armed

The bad guys have guns. Why can't I too since the government can't protect me? Legalise it but make access to it very tough and the laws very strict. Make the license very expensive and only the worthy would be able to own guns

Not just to legalize guns they should always build more prison facilities because every second someone will be occupying a space there, murder will triple or even tenple lol. Was in states sometime ago one angry driver shot and killed a follow driver just because he was driving too slow and that he was in a hurry to get somewhere.
Tell me after he killed the man did he get to his destination? Nooooo.
He had a gun and he used it.
If you drive in Lagos you will agree with me that even okada man will almost want to come down from his bike to fight a driver, telling him or her to go and throw away that pure water called a car, if the said okada man had a gun he won't be wasting his time talking to the driving, the rest will be history.

Is it illegal to own a gun? It's like saying cars should be legalized in Nigeria.
If you own a car you need to register it and get a driver's license. It's same with a gun.
We don't have a gun culture that's probably the reason it isn't common.

OP really needs to be checked ... Gun is not what Nigeria needs right now. However, there is license in case you really need one to avenge a bad experince
do you happen to know how an individual can acquire a licensed gun?

Many people don’t seem to realize the benefit of legalizing guns in Nigeria. They think of the disadvantages alone, not the advantages. Why are we narrow-mindedly opinionated about this issue?

1. Men go into a house to rape a defenseless girl. Would they try that if they knew she’s armed with a gun? Rapists want to rape and live, not to rape and die.

2. Many aged parents still cry days and nights, while their broken souls plead for vengeance. Their innocent children were killed in Jos and elsewhere while they were serving their fatherland.

3. In Nigeria, most criminals want to do bad things to people and go scot-free. If they knew people had guns as well, they would think twice.

4. I must be blunt, what gives most criminals the gut to attack people is because people are defenseless. If 20 assassins go to a man’s house, they’ll kill him. But the man can kill up to 3 of them before he dies. This is better than when the man is killed without being able to kill anyone in return.

5. One-Chance, terrorists, herdsmen, militants, money ritualists, armed robbers, thugs, bullies, etc., are able to go away unscathed in most cases because their victims don’t have guns. To be frank, those who attack you have power over you only because they’re armed and you’re not.

6. If most members communities have guns in their hands, do you think armed robbers would like to go to their lion’s den to molest them?

7. Militants that terrorize communities would be afraid to do so; unless they’re going on suicide missions. The same is true of mad Jihadists. No mad or rabid dog would deliberately run into a burning fire.

8. Domestic violence would cease…. A corrupt cop would cease pointing their gun to a poor and helpless okada rider because of N100.

9. Lazy thugs that collect money they don’t work for would think twice before they start cursing or threatening their victims, ordering for money they don’t work for.

10. It’s true, many people would die. But the remaining people alive would sit right. They would show respect for one another. Politeness would prevail and crimes would be reduced to almost zero. Isn’t there any sense in this?

P.S Seun please tell your mods to move this to the front page.
OK good. But for an underdeveloped country like nigeria it is better to legalize jobs for all first, if that doesn't work, implement basic health for all, if still dat doesn't pull through implement free food for all and then if it persists, u better google p90 and see hw this arm made of just fibre spits 50rounds in 5secs.. thanks

But the disadvantage is that violence will increase. Someone can kill another for a mere 10 naira argument.
And the person will go to jail. Do you think legalising guns means you can buy guns the way you buy cutlass and knife in the market? It will be registered. If a bullet is extracted from a victim, they will easily know the gun that fired it. Thus the owner.

90% of nigerians Re Emotionally and Mentally unstable .if Guns re legalised an average nigerian can kill at slight provocation.
After a year of legalising Guns nigeria's population would have been reduced by 10%
Yeah true, but what if there's certain requirements and tests needed to pass before you can have a gun

If the govt wants to tow the path of legalizing guns for citizens, it is very possible to keep the database but that's another topic. Moreover the database of every driver license holder is intact the last time I checked.

true bro. But is everything synchronised? lastma? Glo/mtn/national id card/censors etc...We have problem in nigeria keeping and maintaining even the little things. Untill we have a functional database...i think gun owing should be left alone for now. The us have problems even with how far they have gone. Talk less about us that are still behind

Getting a gun is not a problem but history has it that if you own a gun, it is either the gun kills you or it send you to jail.

This is Nigeria
