Lockdown presented the chance to set up a combined force to sweep through townships and remove weapons
When the lockdowns started it was a great opportunity to rid the country of the unlicensed murder weapons that are prevalent in all the hotspots where crime is rampant.
This was the opportunity to set up a combined force of the police and the military, with technical backup in the form of metal detectors, to sweep through every township to find and remove all guns, licensed or not. The licensed guns could be ballistically tested to see if they were linked to any crimes, and the rest destroyed. That action would have removed all firearms in circulation, landing a devastating blow on crime.
