This revolver reminds me of a group that caused a stir some time ago. They called themselves PAGAD, People Against Gangsterism and Drugs. Ironically, they were suspected of a number of violent actions that caused many innocent people injury and even cost a few lives at times. It was a sad time in Cape Town's history.

In the past few years the South African government has been putting in place regulations to restrict the number of guns in circulation. We had an amnesty period a while back, where citizens could drop illegal weapons at police stations without the risk of being charged for having them in their possession. Many firearms were destroyed and many consider South Africa a safer place today for this.
