Follow up from the attempted rape incident mentioned in my last:

"The lady I told you about came back in yesterday. She purchased a Taurus PT111 (Millennium) in 9mm. There are other guns available, but anything imported from a country with a strong currency (like the USA) is prohibitively expensive here. Now, she must wait a minimum of three months (probably much longer) to take possession. In the interim, she has no gun, and no legal way to possess one."

Lesson: When governments make individual "rights" impossible to exercise, they have effectively denied those rights. The primary purpose of government-imposed "regulations" is "regulating" rights out of existence. Here is a perfect example.
