Gun owners association calls for stern action against Babu Owino
“As an Association we are especially concerned that these few irresponsible licensed firearm owners are giving the remaining close to 18,000 responsible firearm owners a bad name,” said NGAO in statement to newsrooms.
The association said that the use of a firearm as envisaged by law, is only justifiable for the protection of life and property. The association has maintained: “Firearms are not meant for use during domestic disputes; in public places; during road-use conflict; or where the danger is not imminent to the owner of the firearm, their family or their property. Firearms are especially not to be used when the owner is intoxicated or inebriated.”
NGAO has request the Minister of Interior and Coordination of National Government as well as the Inspector General of Police and Director of Criminal Investigations to take stern action according to the law on cases involving misuse of firearms, be it by civilians or members of the disciplined forces, without unnecessarily restricting legitimate and responsible use of the same firearms.
