I would go f****** insane

And if they catch you smoking NOW... It's can ONLY be illicit

Hahaha

So you get fined for smoking illegal

Up to $400

Anything to raise taxes right?

No.... The black market is thriving

The government lost R1.8Bil on tax revenue

$104mil

I bet you the government smuggling in cigarettes behind the scenes, just like the CIA smuggled cocaine here

Thats what I'm guessing

They are broke

And it's elections next year

They are either trying to make up cash... as they are also trying to postpone elections until 2024

That would be interesting

I'm waiting to see how our election will go

I am VERY sure it will sway towards Republican... Well... that's what it looks like from what we see here about you guys

The Optics here are very strange

Yes?

Gun sales are at record highs

Ammunition prices have doubled

Because of demand

But guns are a normal thing... right?

Yes guns are normal,

I mean... You probably have had exposure to more firearms in one sitting, compared to me who has never even held one.

Only like heirlooms

That have been sealed with lead

WOW

And that's just the number of background checks, multiple guns can be purchased with each background check

So... Maybe it's the correct reaction by the people to show the government to behave

I agree

What I see is a nation that understands firearms...

In my culture

Boer

We always take the defensive position

Not offensive

The boer have a long history

And I kid you not... we are deeply mocked for it

Political correctness knows no bounds

"Oh look, the Boers a pulling a Laager again."
