Drop the gun control ideology and face reality, Mr Makhanya, writes Jonathan Wright
The pro-firearm argument is often articulated from an apologetic and defensive position, which undermines its potential.
The anti-firearm argument will seek to automatically set the narrative by only referring to gun violence as much as possible. For them, the issue must be considered in a vacuum, away from the broader context that undermines it.The second rule is to ignore intent at every opportunity and focus on the tool. The audience must be distracted with the thing they can see, to discourage thinking. Keep the argument simple: guns=bad. The end.
Despite this contradiction, he still expects the reader to believe his argument. It is ideological at its core.The second factual issue mischaracterises the expired firearm licence situation. Further, to imply complicity in murder just for buying a firearm is outrageous. Especially given that the anti-firearm lobby insisted on amnesties despite the well-known extent of corruption in the police.
