Another golden goose has dropped in the laps of the media in the form of The Blade Runner murder.

But there is another reason why we should we be taking a serious look at South Africa. In response to rampant gun violence in the wake of the dismantling of apartheid, SA very courageously enacted comprehensive gun control legislation which have resulted in the steady decline of gun violence.

All they have to do, they argue, is to wait out the The Connecticut effect.
