The SCA said the interim interdict had a nationwide effect, and constituted an impermissible intrusion by a court upon executive authority.
“The interim interdict granted against the appellants is constitutionally inappropriate, it violates the principle of separation of powers, it guarantees the unlawful possession of firearms, and therefore it must be set aside.The court further said that gun ownership was not a fundamental right, but a privilege.
According to AfriForum’s legal and risk manager Marnus Kamfer, the new firearm amnesty provided a last chance for those with expired licences to legally possess their firearms.
