"content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I just want to thank my colleagues for having considered this very important Bill. Once this Bill is assented to, we are thinking of reducing criminal activities in this country by 70 per cent. We are saying this because the New Clause 26 bars any citizen from hiring guns. For those who have licences to carry guns like the automatic rifles they will not be giving out their guns for hire. In the same note, those who have guns, especially the automatic rifles, and work with the forces but hire them out, their days are numbered because they will be arrested. This Bill together with the Penal Code Bill and the Money Laundering Bill are enough to apprehend and arrest those who want to commit crime. I also urge the Vice-President and Minister for Home Affairs to make sure that he expands prisons because I know for sure that those who will be found with illegal guns will be arrested and imprisoned for life."
