Angola awash with guns
Angola is still awash with millions of weapons almost one and a half years after the signing of a peace deal to end nearly three decades of civil war, according to an opposition study published on Tuesday.

The study said some four million guns are in civilian hands in a country of only 12 million people, in what the Coalition of Civil Opposition Parties said was an obstacle to plans for elections in the southwest African country.

Do you think we could get the NRA and all the Repukes to move to Angola where they'd be happier?
