Gun Free SA welcomes today’s Constitutional Court ruling, which upholds the constitutionality of regular gun licence renewals. Under section 24 and section 28 of the Firearms Control Act (2000), all gun owners are required to renew their firearm licences on a regular basis. The Constitutional Court ruled that gun ownership is not a fundamental right under our Bill of Rights, rather it is a privilege regulated by the Firearms Control Act. STATEMENT: Welcome Constitutional Court ruling that regular gun licence renewals are constitutional
