I think we need to address the root cause of evil (crime) in Kenya and see what other ways other than encouraging gun ownership that we can reduce crime. You know Kenya, and the system of issuing fire arms is very easily open to abuse, and that's the point I was making exactly. Haven't you heard about the same people who have been issued guns by the Government renting them out to criminals? The one about the election was just a joke.

The intention of having a firearm is for protection anself defense. Their are very many people in kenya with guns, but that is because they either afford the license or they have been issued to them by the govt. So saying that 'everyone to own a gun and use it next election' is not really possible...

I do not advocate citizen carrying firearms. May be I am just anti-gun.
But on another note, may be it is not a bad idea to issue every Kenyan with a gun. The ensuing loss of live (for both thugs and innocent bystanders) is collateral and may be the cost the Nation needs to pay to have a safe and secure society. And then come 2012 it is all hell break loose if the election results are delayed by even an hour.

The process quiet long, I think. You need to get a certificate of good conduct from the CID, then NSIS vets you, before sending you over to the Central Firearms Bureau for the firearm. I think a medical practioner must give an opinion, too. I am unsure whether your local chief should say he knows you as a law abiding citizen!

Let me ask a philosophical question here;
Are you ready to kill a man? Are you ready to take a man's life because of some property?
If not, then the gun is basically being used as a bargaining chip, and you don't need ammo, which calls into question the very purpose of the ammo and the gun...
OK, I've been reading up too much on game theory... signing out....

In relation to the current sad events most of us skunkworks have had to hear or face (Crystal, we are very sorry), I'd like to know if there is any skunk works with information on how one can acquire firearms in kenya LEGALLY. I've lost a lot of money to thugs(a lot meaning A LOT). Many of us have also lost the same type of people. Anyone with the info on how to obtain one LEGALLY, share it with the skunkers. We would highly appriciate
