Government Denies Right to Self-Defense

No, not our government. The government of South Africa. Watching such actions in other countries is very instructive for us, as our own government works hard to deny us the same right, even though it is constitutionally protected. "Is self-defence a right or a privilege? [In South Africa apparently, it is not a right. -RT] The present South African government seems to think that self-defence is a privilege for the few, not a right of all. The new Firearm Control Act (FCA) has been described as taking away the right to self-defence, infringing on property rights, rights of privacy, and other infringements of constitutional rights. Under the Firearm Control Act a firearm owner can be presumed guilty until he proves himself innocent. The FCA provides for search and seizure without a warrant, and extraordinary penalties for otherwise law-abiding citizens who may have infringed on the excessive demands of the FCA." Make no mistake: we're moving in the same direction in this country. So we must stay ahead of the unconstitutional laws they make that make it harder for us to defend ourselves against strong-arm robbers. We need to invent more disguised self-defense devices, faster than they can make laws against them. In California, they've got it pretty much covered. There, no one can carry anything that can be "projected at a person in such a way as to injure or disable him, permanently, or temporarily." Defined absolutely, that meansyour fist could be considered a deadly weapon. This law cannot be fully enforced, but you can count on the anti-gun politicians to enforce it as much as they can, unconstitutional or not. The United Nations is unalterably opposed to personal self-defense because it is an organization made up of mostly countries ruled by brutal dictators, who are deathly afraid of their citizens being armed. Look at the picture of the anti-gun" statue at U. N. headquarters. Naturally, the "disabled gun" is a civilian weapon, not a military one.
