Gun Registration, License Brings Rape and Murder to the Unarmed of Papua New Guinea
2003-11-10
This is what anti gun morons want for your family
A horrific attack on a family in Port Moresby has prompted calls for Papua New Guineans to be granted the right to arm themselves against murderers and rapists. In an incident that shocked a city accustomed to a high level of violence, 10 drunken bandits last week attacked a family home, murdering a man who tried to protect his wife and two daughters, aged nine and 13. The woman and her daughters were forced to watch as their father was shot and chopped up with an axe. The three were then dragged outside and pack-raped. The wife said the criminals then placed her husband’s body in their bed and set fire to the house.

While police have charged seven men with murder, rape, abduction and arson in relation to the attack, the alleged ringleaders remain at large. PNG is expected next month to sign off on an Australian plan to deploy at least 200 police officers to combat crime. Prominent PNG commentator Frank Kolma yesterday called on authorities to grant citizens the right to bear arms,
(And was promptly attacked by the candidates running for the USA Democrat Party Presidental nomination)
and to implement a permanent curfew in lawless Port Moresby. Kolma said PNG’s law enforcement agencies "do not have the capacity, resources or brainpower to bring criminals to justice".
Don't have the brainpower? Do they import cops from South Waziristan?
"And do you think anything will come of this latest incident?" he asked in his column in The National newspaper.
Yeah! The internet will allow a lone gunman from the other side of the globe will spread the word of your plight!
"If past performance is anything to go by - absolutely nothing. We will wait, as always, for the day when a politician or a businessman or an expatriate family is attacked in a similar fashion before action is instituted." He said citizens should be allowed to use firearms to protect themselves.
Liberals, like Nazis were appalled at this affront to their bureacracy
"It would be best, under the prevailing circumstances, to allow the citizen to arm himself and take his chances than to leave his life, family and property in the hands of an inept state and its agents," he said.
They are not only inept,they fear an armed citizen would not obey them
PNG has similar gun laws to Australia, whereby permits are issued only for specific purposes such as hunting and, in a few cases, protection.
Yeah protection of the wealthy,in traditional liberal fashion,the poor can get raped and killed for their own good
The issue of new gun licences was suspended two years ago, sparking a lucrative market in the transfer of existing licenses which at more than $5000, are out of reach for the average citizen.
Smells like Liberal $$ scheme
Mr Kolma said there was little to deter criminals in Port Moresby.
(& NY,UK,DC,LA,SF etc)
"Crime has become a profitable and even attractive venture.
How did the Kennedy’s become so rich?
You do not have to work for it, just steal it. If you want sex, go out and rape.
(Rapist prefer unarmed victims)
If somebody is successful, bring him down - permanently.
(Sounds like Democrats & Union Organizers to me!)
"This is fast becoming the way of life in Papua New Guinea."
(and NY City,DC,LA etc)
The attack, in the squatters’ settlement of Tete, was one of numerous murders and rapes reported each year in Port Moresby’s sprawling outlying suburb of Gerehu. While many Gerehu residents wrap their homes in barbed-wire and steel mesh,
(for that real cool prison look)
often the best protection is for residents to band together with fellow tribesmen. However, this has also led to incidents of broader, more dangerous ethnic violence in the settlements.
Now they can band together and wipe out other unarmed families,just like Rwanda!

#2  That's triple bold with a fatty.

Still always the temptation to use a drop shadow, small cap, negative leaded blinker.
