Gun ownership is an emotional issue in the US. The shooting of innocent kids in US schools has rekindled a national debate on gun ownership, the right to bear arms. That includes veterans of many wars from WWI and II, Mau Mau and now Somali. One 93-year-old veteran of Mau Mau and British campaigns in Burma, Mburu Mwikonyi, told me he can make one in 15 minutes. In Kenya, gun ownership is tightly controlled, but going by reports of banditry and other crimes, it seems that control is weak or has loopholes.
