Source: Kuwait TimesDec.儲存 14--It is becoming very common to hear or read about shootings in Kuwait. I know some may think we should not be surprised over such news because the whole world is in a mess and people are being killed every day by gunfire. But we are not in a war zone or area of conflicts, so we naturally consider the news of people being killed by guns as a serious matter.More people are firing guns, especially during wedding celebrations, as a gesture to express their joy, but they are not considering the fact that someone can get hurt and injured! Recently, a young Kuwaiti was killed in Wafra by a gunshot during a fight with his friends. I agree, crimes can occur by various weapons and means. But the fact that anyone can buy a gun will make it easy to use it against others.There is no way but to have a campaign to collect weapons from civilians. I know that there have been some calls to do so that never succeeded. I think such campaigns will do well if we are serious about it. It is becoming well known to the public how much are guns worth. This should be an indicator that there is a black market for guns for people to buy, and here is the question -- why would anybody want to buy a gun and for what reason? I can't think of anybody who seeks to buy a gun which could cost him big amount of money just for pleasure. I think with my simple mind that he may plan to use it at a later time.What other reason would lead him to buy a gun? Such 迷你倉eople must be arrested and questioned and this should include all, even the ones who fire guns at weddings as a gesture to express their happiness. Somebody could get shot and possibly get killed, so I don't see any fun in such kind of celebrations! This is an old Arab habit when people were living in a desert. Right now, no one lives in a desert and they live in crowded areas full of people and pedestrians.This is why I believe it is a must for the ministry of interior to be serious about seizing guns from the public and track the sources who make it easy for people to buy them. I also think the media should be involved by taking a bigger role in awareness campaigns in cooperation with MoI by enforcing laws against all users of guns. A news item appeared recently about a young Kuwaiti who was shot dead in Um Safak and his charred body was found in the desert. The news was all over the social media and raised many questions about how many weapons are available with no one to stop or enforce laws against those who get to buy weapons and use it against others without supervision.In every country, there are restrictions and regulations on purchase of guns. Those who break these laws get tracked and punished for carrying illegal weapons without a license. This is what we should do as well.Copyright: ___ (c)2013 the Kuwait Times (Safat, Kuwait) Visit the Kuwait Times (Safat, Kuwait) at .kuwaittimes.net/ Distributed by MCT Information Servicesself storage
