“It’s still very early to tell who the attackers are and the motive behind it. It’s very unfortunate that we continue losing innocent lives. We will pursue these very heartless people and arrest them.”–Maalim Mohamed, Garissa County Commissioner
In the African country of Kenya, strict gun control laws failed to prevent a mass shooting. At least six people killed, ten wounded.
Officials say armed men walked into hotel Kwa Chege and began shooting. Officials have no proof of who did it, but they are blaming Muslims.
Kenya bans the ownership of assault weapons, full or semi-auto. Ammo that can be used in assault type weapons are also banned. Kenya also requires anybody who wants to own a pistola to get licensed, which requires criminal and mental background checks, plus third party references. You must renew the license every year. Possessing an illegal gun will get you 15 years in prison. Possessing a legal gun without a license will get you ten years in prison.
Yet with all those gun control laws, on 18 April 2013, six people killed, ten wounded in a mass shooting. Where’s the U.S. main streamer media on this one?
