Daniel Regha, a well-known Twitter user, has expressed opposition to the measure that millionaire senator Ned Nwoko is proposing to permit Nigerians to carry weapons for self-defense.
As previously reported, Ned Nwoko claimed to have presented the measure permitting Nigerians to carry arms for self-defense in response to a wave of instability around the country.
Daniel Regha responded by saying that people should not support his proposed gun laws because they will only exacerbate the already serious issues with insecurity.
What guarantee would there be, he questioned, that it wouldn’t be misused or fall into the wrong hands?
In reaction, Daniel Regha stated that support for his proposed gun legislation should be discouraged since it will just make the insecurity problems worse.
He asked what assurance there would be that it wouldn’t be abused or end up in the hands of criminals.
He observed that people smash bottles over little disagreements and legalizing firearms will only make our problems worse.
In his words: “Ned Nwoko’s firearms bill should not be encouraged; This willn’t solve the insecurity issue but only worsen it. Let’s assume Nigerians are allowed to obtain firearms (legally), what’s the guarantee that majority won’t missue it, or that these arms won’t end up in the hands of criminals? We have seen how many people break bottles over little arguments/misunderstandings, let’s not add to our problems.”
