Die blouwildebees is sekerlik die moeilikste gewone spesie om effektief te jag. Hy word nie verniet die “arm man se buffel” genoem nie. Maak seker van jou skootplasing op hierdie moeilike kalant.

Uit die heup uit / From the hip ‘If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will carry guns’

Wat van die menings van mense ín die bedryf?

I was filled with utter dismay and disbelief when I came across the Dit is met uiterste verbasing dat ek kennis geneem het van ’n fact that nobody from the hunting and wildlife ranching associations vergadering van die Vuurwapen-portefeuljekomitee wat aan die nor from the firearms industry were invited by the parliamentary einde van Maart in Kaapstad gehou word, en dat niemand uit portfolio committee on safety and security to provide submissions jagtersgeledere, die vuurwapenbedryf of enige wildboere daarheen on the proposed amendments to the firearms control act, except for genooi is nie. Daarteenoor is mense van die Rooi Kruis-hospitaal, die Martin Hood. Although Martin Hood has both the knowledge and the Suid-Afrikaanse Sokkervereniging (SAFA) en Gun Free SA wel genooi ability to talk on behalf of the general firearm owning public his task om dit by te woon. would be made all the more difficult without the support and backing Al persoon wat genooi is en wat namens die algemene of the other stakeholders. Remember: “United we stand”. vuurwapenpubliek kan praat, is Martin Hood. Alhoewel Martin hom What I find even more shocking is the double standards that were sekerlik goed van sy taak sal kwyt, is hy in die minderheid en sal hy applied as the South African Football Association (SAFA), Gun Free die steun van ander partye benodig. Onthou die gesegde, “Eendrag South Africa and the Red Cross Hospital were invited to present their maak mag”. Wat voer die regering in die mou om mense wat skynbaar submissions on the proposed amendments to the act. niks met die vuurwapenbedryf te doen het nie uit te nooi, maar die I honestly feel that the government was planning to push the werklike rolspelers word oor die hoof gesien? Ek kry werklik die idee amendments through as quickly and quietly as dat hulle die vergadering so stil as moontlik wou possible, hence their omission to invite all relevant hou om sekere aspekte te bespreek en deur te voer stakeholders. If the government was really interested sonder dat die oorgrote meerderheid van die publiek in finding a permanent solution to the proliferation daarvan weet. of illegal firearms in this country, they would invite Nadat Hawasa kwaai kapsie gemaak het, is hulle all the firearm industry stakeholders to come up with wel uitgenooi en kan die “beraad” bywoon. Maar a workable solution instead of drafting legislation mens sal tog sekerlik dink dat indien die regering based on the opinions of football administrators. I ernstig is om ’n oplossing vir onwettige vuurwapens wonder if the government will court the opinions te probeer vind sou die werklike rolspelers van die of stakeholders in the firearm industry to help solve begin af uitgenooi word. Dit is die rolspelers van die SAFA’s problem the next time they have an issue. vuurwapenbedryf wat werkbare oplossings moet The government is fully aware that the problem vind, nie die sokkerspelers nie. Ek wonder of die lies not with the legal gun owners but with the illegal regering die rolspelers uit die vuurwapenbedryf sal André van Dyk by ’n blesbok wat hy met weapons crossing our borders. The same applies to uitnooi om die probleme wat SAFA ondervind te sy Mauser .270 Win lank gelede in Noordthe poachers crossing our borders into our national bespreek?

Mense loop daagliks oor die Limpopo en niemand weet been invited to the proceedings. I do believe that they have the ability wat hulle by hulle het nie.

Only time will nodig. tell if everybody involved in the process will be able come up with a Ek glo egter dat die persone wat ons saak by die Portefeuljekomitee workable solution that is beneficial to all. moet stel, ingelig sal wees en dat hulle hulle goed van hul taak sal kwyt en indien die regering met ’n oop gemoed die beraad bywoon, kan dit baie vir die toekoms beteken. Een ding staan egter soos ’n paal bo water en ek haal Rodger A. Straight shooting Freeman aan: “If guns are outlawed only outlaws will carry guns!” Tyd sal egter leer of almal wat die beraad bywoon werkbare oplossings het.
