The other reason that in South Africa one must really do your research is that you are only allowed 4 firearms. Of which no more than one may be for self defense. So if you want a handgun of some sort, that only leaves 3 rifles. And selling a second hand rifle in South Africa is not easy. The law changed a couple of years back resulting in people owning more than 4 firearms being forced to sell some of their firearms. And it is still a ongoing thing. Some people say that they will not give up their firearms... We will see what happens...
