Arms proliferation is truly dangerous. However, people want to arm themselves because guns have gone into the wrong hands and are threatening law abiding citizens. We know that even Fulani cattle herders and Chinese galamsey people carry AK 47. This is known by the Police and the Army but nothing is being done about it. So, why should Ghanaian citizens not carry such guns too to protect themselves and their families. Yes let us make Ghana like Chicago, Atlanta and New Orleans where almost everybody has a gun. People are even now dealing in guns than drugs.
A few minutes ago, FOX News had it that a Ghanaian called Attah has been arrested with many guns and ammunition that he was shipping to Ghana. He also had 3600 rounds of bullets. Is Ghana safe now.
With regards to Blacksmiths and manufacturing of guns, it is an uphill task to talk them out of that. Gun manufacturing fetches more money than anything now. How do you talk these unemployed manufacturers and dealers in Arms out of this when there are no jobs for them? To me it would be better for the government to allow sale of guns to law abiding citizens, register them into a national registry so that they can also protect themselves and families. Talking them out of this trade will be just an exercise in futility.

Arms Commission should put a total ban on it, period.
