Most Citizens Want Gun-Free SA

Most South Africans want the country to be gun-free, and for there to be harsher penalties for illegal gun ownership.
Hmmm...most citizens want a gun-free SF, too.

And government, particularly a "democracy," is just the vehicle to give 'em what they think they want.

As we all know, true democracy is nothing more than tyranny by the majority.

Obviously, we're to assume that guns are "Ba-a-a-a-d!" ;o)

Brazil. Most citizens supported the national referendum on gun/ammo control. Then opponents rephrased the question (as history showed) and the referendum tanked.

Maybe the wrong question was asked in SA as well?
