INSECURITY: Should Nigeria Legalize Hand Gun?

Nigeria isn't at war. But horrible news of senseless killings in different parts of the country confront the people daily. The situation has fired up arguments for the amendment of the country's constitution to allow the component states in Nigeria to establish their own police. Now there is another agitation: legalize hand guns!

"I strongly support legalization of hand gun, because it's only God and Gun that can give real protection now (in Nigeria)," says an agitated Nigerian on twitter.

So, should Nigeria make it legal for its citizens to carry hand guns about for self-defence? Will such a proposal help Nigeria solve some of its security challenges?
