DA says ANC is using the PSiRA playbook to force through gun restrictions

# The DA has criticised the National Economic Development and Labour Council for keeping the Firearms Control Bill secret and excluding key stakeholders from the process. The party argues the ANC is using the same approach it applied with the Private Security Industry Regulatory Authority to push restrictive legislation. The DA’s Ian Cameron, warns that the bill could disarm law-abiding citizens while criminals remain armed. Cameron vowed to oppose the legislation in Parliament.
