I firmly believe that every man and woman in Pakistan should own guns.
ISLAMABAD: There is a huge imbalance of power between the state and the citizenry which needs to be addressed.
Ordinary Pakistanis need to be better able to protect themselves from the police, the army and the ISI, especially since it’ll take decades for them to realise that they can’t kill people indiscriminately. I firmly believe that every man and woman in Pakistan should own guns and be fully prepared to use them against anyone who threatens their person or property.
