In addition to the petition provision was created for individuals to also provide some written comments. The comments received are provided in detail below. 1. Andrew Bowker: This Firearms Act proposed does not make rational sense. It targets law abiding people and affects all spheres of business badly. Even to game farms and tourism. I reject every part of it. 2. Papenfus Papenfus: Any citizen of SA should have the freedom to persue their hobies and sporting interests and not be limited in their choices.
