In a year, the United States lost 11,000 lives to murder or manslaughter involving a firearm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the subsequent years, the fatalities caused by firearms have remained relatively high.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Over the years, the Kenyan government has overseen destruction of guns held illegally by their owners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Mid-March, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiangi said authorities had seized 6,000 firearms, some two months after another haul of 8,000 was destroyed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also needed in Kenya, Wahome said, is a law that will explicitly provide circumstances when a licensed firearm holder is allowed to use a gun. As it is now, it is left to police or the court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the past, licensed firearm holders have participated actively during terror attacks but the country has also seen incidents when some rogue gun holders have misused their firearms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cPolice officers have it stated in the law on when and how they can justifiably use a firearm, either to defend life and property and so on,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cFor civilians, that interpretation is left to the gun owner, the Officer Commanding Station, the Director of Public Prosecution,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wahome spoke to Capital FM at NGAO-Kenya&#8217;s shooting range in Kirigiti within Kiambu County.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NAIROBI, Kenya, Jul 11 \u2013\u00a0The National Gun Owners Association, NGAO-Kenya, has called for the formulation of a policy to regulate the number of guns licensed firearm holders can have.
