This article is nothing but a pro-gun rant and has no place in Wikipedia. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 41.243.42.209 (talk) 16:33, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

Tagged the article to be checked for its neutrality. This can hardly be controversial as the bulk of the article in its present form appears to have been written by a supporter of the partisan organisation Gun Owners of South Africa. Sentences like "The authorities have been indifferent to submissions by pro-gun groups..." and claims that research of UNISA that opposes the view of pro-gun groups are "unsubstantiated" says it all. Particulary biased is the section on the "negative impact" partly consisting of a quoted statement from Gun Owners of South Africa.

I delete the whole section on "negative impact" as it is both extremely partisan and badly written. I hope anyone with a knowledge on the different views of gun politics in South Africa will edit the main section to make it more balanced.
