South Africa has relatively strict gun laws.

In South Africa, the right to possess firearms is not guaranteed by law. The FCA imposes a general ban on the possession of firearms except in certain circumstances.

Yet the crime rate is through the roof.

These facts are a bit inconvenient to those crying foul after every such incident in the US.

Two words - illegal guns.

Laws don't mean too much when all manner of guns can be obtained easily and very cheaply in South Africa. By most measures South Africa is in the top 5 nations for homicide. By magnitudes more dangerous than the US.

Both nations are infested with guns and have shocking gun violence problems.
