"FROM the Inspector-General of Police, Mr. Tafa Balogun, came the confirmation, weekend, that the large scale ammunition in wrong hands was partly responsible for the upsurge in violent crimes and the high profile killings witnessed of late in the country."
"But Balogun said the police were doing their best to contain the onslaught by the men of the underworld as, according to him, no fewer than 33 armed robbery suspects had shot dead by the police in the first quarter of the year with 153 in the net."
"Five policemen also lost their lives in the hands of the dare-devil robbers."
-------
Translation: Bad guys can get guns and ammunition at will, and are, then, able to prey on the peasants who have been disarmed by their government. |

| So the robbers teamed up with Ben Afleck? No wonder they did so much damage, he can churn out bombs faster than Al-Queda! |

TO REMEMBER |
| No kingdom can be secured otherwise than by arming the people. The possession of arms is the distinction between a freeman and a slave. He, who has nothing, and who himself belongs to another, must be defended by him, whose property he is, and needs no arms. But he, who thinks he is his own master, and has what he can call his own, ought to have arms to defend himself, and what he possesses; else he lives precariously, and at discretion. — James Burgh, Political Disquisitions: Or, an Enquiry into Public Errors, Defects, and Abuses [London, 1774-1775]. |
