I agree to the terms set out in the IRR's Privacy Policy.

I consider this to be an individual submission distinct and separate from any other.

Why your participation is important

The more voices we get the support this lobby the more pressure we will exert on the government to withdraw the legislation. We have fought civil rights battles in South Africa for 90 years and know that public pressure will be the deciding factor to winning this fight. Don’t be a victim. Stand up for your rights. Get involved. Make sure your voice is heard. Please share this page with your friends, family, colleagues, and associations.

The actions we will be taking to stop this legislation include

Legal pressure on the government to drop the bill.
Challenging anti-firearm propaganda and misinformation in the media.
Explaining in the mainstream media why gun rights are civil rights and why law-abiding citizens should not be scapegoated for government failures.
Giving thousands of citizens a voice to challenge and pressure the government.
Directly targeting law and policy makers to drop the draft legislation.

The draft amendment is summarized in the Government Gazette, but the actual wording is absent and so difficult to find online. Click here to view a leaked copy of the legislative amendment.
