Despite strict anti-gun laws, and the threat of being beheaded for breaking laws, a man shot and killed five people and wounded nine. The man was killed by police.
U.S.-EU-Saudi-Israeli backed Islamic State DAIISH (Islamic State, DA for al-DAwla, I for al-Islamiya, I for al-Iraq, SH al-SHam [al-Sham = Syria]) took credit for the shooting, saying the man was targeting Shi’a Muslims.
“You can get illegal firearms easily if you know where to look. Getting them legally, on the other hand isn’t for everyone and can be very difficult if you do not have connections.”-internet post explaining how people get guns in Saudi Arabia
Rich hypocritical Saudis brandishing their illegal guns at a wedding!
In Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA) it is illegal to openly sell a gun. Most guns are bought illegally, however, the government has an amnesty program that allows those who bought a gun illegally to register the gun and get a license to own the gun. This requires a criminal and mental background check, as well as testing the gun barrel for evidence that it might have been used in a crime. It is also illegal to hunt with a gun.
Despite tough anti-gun laws, which include banning open market sales, KSA is ranked number six out of the top ten countries for private gun ownership!
