Do you own a firearm?

[marine1]

Something not understood about those of us who are anti-gun usage.

• Many of us have a healthy respect for gun owners' rights - it's your choice.
• Some of us have actually used weapons - was in the army, got quite good at shooting with my riffle.

We also know that guns get people shot when tempers are lost, or kids find them, even cleaning them is dangerous for those not careful enough.
We respect your rights, respect our decision not to too.

What utter rubbish, the anti gun crowd want nobody to have guns. They are part of the problem

I don't own a firearm but I see absolutely nothing wrong with people owning them. This is a violent country, and if you or your loved one's life is at risk, it's a no-brainer.

Airguns are described in the FCA, even though you know it was not a legit question.

Sound like it might make a somewhat effective club, that is not described in the FCA.

Question is legitimate. Your assumption of my knowledge is not factual.
I have no knowledge about firearm legislation. Kinda just assumes it might be ok for the air gun to lurk in the back of a closet. Heard something once about speed of projectile playing a role or licensing?

Still have the question tough

How do we go about reversing the woke gfsa laws that were created?

GFSA is funded from outside South Africa. How this NGO has been allowed to operate with the significant influence it's had, is criminal.

 

[LCBXX]

And if it is a legit question?
What is the legal status of such a device?

You can buy air-powered guns from Blades 'n Triggers in your local mall, even Takealot. No licencing or background checks required.

I know, which is why I asked how can we go back to the way things were.

What's the point of an air-gun? Isn't that the equivalent of:

I've hunted small game with my .22 air rifle. An air pistol is just gay, unless you want to be a boss at airsoft.

The calibre of the projectile and energy. If it's grater than .22 and (or?) something like 8 Joules of energy at the muzzle, it gets classified as a firearm.

Of course it is...

Tel 'n ou windbuks met 'n pap veer en skewe visier?

But I will humour you since I am in a good mood and you are too lazy to read the FCA.

Definition of an Airgun In Terms of the Law

(Firearms Control Act 60 of 2000) (as amended up to 31/01/2015)

An airgun is any airgun with a calibre of below 5.6mm regardless of power/energy at the muzzle.

An airgun is any airgun with a calibre of 5.6mm and above but is manufactured to be incapable of shooting at powers/energy of no more than 8 joules / 6 foot pounds at the muzzle.

Any airgun that exceeds both the 5.6mm calibre and muzzle energy of 8 joules / 6 foot pounds is classified as a firearm in South Africa and in terms of the FCA a firearms licence is required to own and operate such. Hereinafter referred to as a “LCA – Large Calibre Airgun” class airgun.

So, your pap veer windbuks is an airgun as it is likely 4.5mm (.177) and has a pap veer.
Does not need a license.

But, point it at someone or shoot someone with it, will be seen as if it is a firearm in terms of charges you might face.

Use it as a club/bat.

Yes, Soros funds a lot of it and probably wrote most of their ****ed up rulebook.

Not a good topic to be discussing on a forum. The "authorities" will be reading all here, so I prefer to not admit to anything.

If you own a firearm legally, they already know.

A large amount of cops are illiterate and have no idea how to spell PC, so I wonder how well their gun owner database is maintained. Our guv is incapable of providing the most basic of services like water and power.
