BGOA

The "Black Gun Owners' Association" of South Africa is making its voice heard! Headed by its eloquent president, Abios Khoele, BGOA is a rapidly growing organization that is garnering the grudging attention of South Afric a's ANC government. Black citizens, like white ones, Indian ones, "colored " ones, et al are upset at the way the government is currently making it nearly impossible for good people to own and bear guns legally. Violent crime in SA is vastly higher than in most other nations, and police have their hands full just protecting themselves.

The continued existence SA's black middle class, probably more than any other group, is directly threatened by violent criminals. In fact, all mem bers of SA's middle class, regardless of race, are united on this issue. "Blacks speaking in favor of restrictive gun legislation are like chickens cheering

for Colonel Sanders!" says Khoele. Good show, Abios!

Comment: There is no belief so false that blind faith can't make it true, at least in the minds of the naive and willfully ignorant. When citizens open

their eyes, they are instantly viewed as threats by despots.
