Algerian1: Because when "the people" are armed - the government can never be tyrannical. Their constitution was written by former rebels who had learnt the hard way why the citizenry should be armed. "A free people ought not only be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government." - George Washington The right to bear arms has found consistent ideological support amongst the left and right wings of politics as well "Under no pretext should arms and ammunition be surrendered; Any attempt to disarm the workers must be frustrated, by force if necessary" - Karl Marx Think about it: If Black South Africans had the right to bear arms, would Apartheid have been possible? Or if the Tutsi had the right to bear arms, would the Rawandan Genocide have been possible? We could go on making examples ad infintum 4 Likes |

Algerian1: Of course, you can't get a gun license unless you're a bad guy and you're required to keep the weapon in a certain manner and you're never allowed to discharge it (even when you're drunk in a bar and losing a sporting argument) ![]() Our gun laws are stricter than those of the US, it's an offense even for a policeman to discharge a gun at a civilian unless he has a history of being very violent. In fact, I've seen a policeman being attacked by a mob of unhappy people, all he did was run for his life with a pistol on his thigh, never discharged it. 1 Like |

iblawi:It seems like i have turned into a pessimist as regards this topic. We are expecting some aircrafts (MI-35m, Yahbon Flash 20 UAV, Super Mushe Mushe), and more have been approved 12 units of Super Tucano. Let's be realistic. Don't worry, i'm running for President in 2019, when i get elected, i buy you what ever you want. Rafale, SU-35S, J-10C............. Write down the list and do me a mail. ![]() ![]() 2 Likes |

frumentius: Possible that they did not have a direct line to the French. They had to call HQ, HQ then calls the HQ in Mali who then call the nearest QRF for the mission in Mali who then scramble. The guys on the ground may of wanted support long before that but it was delayed. Same thing happened in Somalia US forces need support from the UN forces who where not told told of the mission there for where not ready. I would not be supprised one bit if the French had zero heads up and there was no direct line. Hell maybe the US HQ had to look up the number for the Mali HQ. |

Henry240: Let's be realistic here. He didn't say we are expecting drones. Super mushak cannot be deployed to fight boko haram and his statement was "helicopters and aircrafts", which means something different from helicopter is expected. For the new approval, the Minister of defence said the last time he was in Russia that Nigeria was interested in MiG and yak_130. Super tucano need no approval anymore and the funding is not coming from Abuja but looted fund already in the US. |

We have received 2 Mi-35M, 5 super mushak and another 5 expected, Yahbon flash 20 is also expected according to chief of Air Staff.

Blackfyre: You're not allowed to discharge unless the threat is fatal. In that fatal case (eg someone has a knife) you're to give a warning shot, if he continues to charge then you're only allowed to shoot to disable him. In cases where it's a house break, you can actually get away with killing the perpetrator even if he wasn't armed on some technical grounds, but you'll still appear in court. In cases where a perpetrator has already discharged his own gun, you're allowed to fully defend yourself with yours if you get the chance. However, in a case where Police enter a shootout scene, they're not allowed to shoot at anyone holding a gun without first identifying themselves as Police and let you know to lower yours or throw it on the ground (because in a shootout, there's a perpetrator and a victim so you have to establish that first before you shoot). So technical, I can punch a Policeman, throw some stones at him or even burn his service vehicle BUT he'll not charge his service weapon.... I'll just be arrested later and get charged for assaulting him and burning his vehicle instead. During random street searches, he's never allowed to pull out a weapon at a suspect, he can only keep his right hand on it while it's still on his hip. Rifles should always point downwards the ground. Our policing gun laws are similar to the Brits' than they are to the Yanks'.
