SURVIVAL people are talking out of emotion,without
ANY logic!
They know exactly,that EVERYWHERE in the world,if someone
wants to hunt,he/she ought to apply for a license.
This is required by all governments on this Planet,because
they are CONCERNED,dear SURVIVAL friends about the
LIFE and SECURITY of the society.
Not everybody should be able to get a rifle and start shooting around himself!
What if this person is mentally INCAPABLE and instead
shooting at animals,shoots at HUMAN BEINGS?
The decision of the High Court of Botswana is NOT circumvained and the constitutional rights of the Baswana
are not curtailed,when the Government passed law,requiring
application for a hunting licence.
Therefore,dear srvival friend,your arguments do NOT have ANY legal grounds!
