    | CAPE TOWN - When most Americans think of Cape Town, South Africa, they probably think of it as a mecca for tourists – the beaches,  Table Mountain, and the winelands.
 
 But there’s a side to the city that is becoming more of a frightening reality – murder, much of it gang-related.
 
 “Going to a shop is life-threatening, traveling in a taxi is life-threatening,”  Elsies River Community Policing Forum Chair Imraahn Mukaddam told Fox News. “We are living in a war zone. A lot of violence here is orchestrated by a third force – the street gangs, who want to make the Western Cape almost ungovernable.”
 
 Submitter's note:  This is a country where guns are heavily restricted.

                      | Are we at last brought to such humiliating and debasing degradation, that we cannot be trusted with arms for our defense? Where is the difference between having our arms in possession and under our direction, and having them under the management of Congress? If our defense be the real object of having those arms, in whose hands can they be trusted with more propriety, or equal safety to us, as in our own hands?  — Patrick Henry, 3 J.
