  I will say it again;
  Any country that has state security institutions and yet encourages it's citizens to own and bear arms to protect or defend themselves that country is a failure to it's people.

  How, when and where did Antwi get his gun to take to church to try to kill the President? Whether he is mad or not, in the interest of the whole nation we need an answer

  FOR THE INFORMATION OF THE CHRISTIAN COUNCIL OF GHANA, OUR GUN CONTROL LAWS ARE VERY CONSERVATIVE AND DOES NOT ALLOW EASY ACQUISITION OR LICENSING OF GUN USE. THE PROBLEM IS ENFORCING THE LAW ON ILLEGAL GUN POSSESSION AND MONITORING OF THOSE IN LEGAL HANDS.

  If mad man Antwi can easily get hold of a gun with bullets and can load the gun and take to church to kill the President it show how lax Ghana laws are. No wonder all armed robbers have guns and bullets.

  When did Ghana started producing guns to destroy ourselves? Having guns in a nation is always not healthy in any explanation. Human nature those tools don't go together at all. No amount of civilised logics could convinced me. The scriptures will condemn the provision. Do we now have second amendment.? Cancal the clause out of the book. I will prefer nukes programm to protect us against the aggressors. You don't know who becomes your enemy in the global village. War partners have tendersys to flip allegiance according to economic pressures.Lie on yourselves and experiences.

  Rev. Dr. Opuni it is a good call. However did you hear President John Mahama's call on his Interior Minister to make sure the dress rehearsal for 2016 was implemented fully and the lessons drawn for 2016 and beyond, which dress rehearsal saw the disenfranchisement of eligible Ghanaian voters in their right to self determination in a democracy?
  Coupled with the lack of security in this country which is turning Ghana gradually into a failed state and a banana republic with Govt policy of violence to cower, intimidate and murder Ghanaians, it is time for Ghanaians to arm themselves to the teeth against the Mahama-Woyongo axis of violence, intimidation and murder, because the security apparatus of state has broken down, politicians, bankers, businessmen, foreigners including Americans are all being murdered under this Mahama NDC gov't.
  There is no confidence in this Mahama gov't to protect Ghanaians and also foreigners who decide to settle in our country and when there is that breakdown, you strap up and start packing.
  Mark Woyongo is still the Min of Interior right? If John Mahama was not in support of violence, Woyongo would have resigned or fired by now. The commitment to sanitize our environment and free it from officially sanctioned violence, mayhem, and murder is not there and this is not the time to review gun control laws.

  Many thanks to Revenue Dr. Opuni Frimpong to remind the entire Ghanaians and the government to review the guns laws. Truelly the recent shootings in cheiftancy disputes and political shootings as well as intended attempt shootings we need to over haul the gun laws. Dr. Opuni is the true Christian leader who speaks neutrally, without bias and we should be proud of him. Unlike my own church moderator,leader of Anglican and some so called spiritual leaders who attended meetings and spoke in favour of the NPP are destroying and inflaming fire in the country. May God help Ghana

  NOT ONLY GUNS BUT THE USE OF ACID SHOULD ALSO RECEIVE SERIOUS ATTENTION. IS IT BECAUSE JOHN MAHAMA'S NAME IS INVOLVED THATS WHY THIS IS RECEIVING ATTENTION? WHEN ACID WAS USED TO KILL THAT POLITICAL OPERATIVE IN THE NORTH THAT WAS THE END OF DISCUSSION. THESE FORMS OF MURDERING PEOPLE IN THE COUNTRY NEED SERIOUS REVIEW.

  I would recommend Ghana follow the United States gun law which states in part, the right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed".
