He basically argues that there is nothing that the West can do, or should do, to attempt to solve Africa’s problems. Not saying that anyone or everyone here will agree with it. [Then you haven’t read the host’s articles on Africa and foreign aid. He is right. Thanks for alerting me to his writings–ILANA]

The real issue of gun control is “control”. When we are disarmed we will be controlled. The second amendment is the cornerstone that supports the rest of the Bill of Rights. Without the rights given by this amendment we will finally be the servants of our government. If you think it’s bad now, just wait. I hope you are right about the American fabric but I fear fewer and fewer Americans are made of that fabric.

I don’t have anything to add to the comments above, except to say that I’m more than sorry to see South Africa (and perhaps much of the rest of the continent) descend back into the Stone Age… and I am sorry for the whites and blacks who are being slaughtered.

Kim Du Toit is another transplanted South African fellow… he has a blog, “The Other Side of Kim,” on which he has an essay entitled “Let Africa Sink.” I found it thought-provoking reading. [Link?]

C’mon Ilana, for one thing the statement that “at least the massacres are a thing of the past” is an outright lie given that massacres are still occuring. If one is tallying sheer numbers, it’s also statistically fraudalent to claim that “life goes on much better than before.”

I believe in right and wrong. I can understand the anger and resentment of the black population, but it doesn’t justify slaughter. Regardless of morality, those behaviors only serve to undermine the entire country and its future. Everybody there will suffer more for it. I would wager that the majority of the dead are actually black (?). [Right you are; black women and children.]

I see so much potential being squandered there.

I’m not a relativist if that’s what you’re getting at.

Mr. Huggins, nobody is going to take away your guns, ever. It’s part of American fabric. [2nd Amendment rights have been eroded badly.]

The Afrikaaners got shafted because they were deserted by the US, the UK and Western Europe because they were not politically correct. To stick it to the “evil” Boers was worth a few thousand votes back home. It didn’t take a rocket scientist to predict the blood bath to come but nobody cared because they were; 1) White 2) a long way off and 3)there weren’t very many of them anyway. The Whites in southern Africa are basically doomed. In the US we could end up in the same mess just because we are too weak to stand up to the PC pressures coming our way. Every time you hear some swine of a Democrat or turn coat Republican blather on about “sensible” gun laws “for the children” (politician speak for confiscation) remember the slaughter of the whites in southern Africa.

Another thing unmentioned by the apologists for the collapse of civilization over there is that there are many, many black deaths caused by this return to the stone age. Collapse of law and order is no respecter of persons regardless of race.

[I thought you’d have agreed with him; why was I mistaken?]
