The video has now sparked a debate over on social media on whether civilians should be allowed to own and carry firearms as crime rates in the city soar.
More guns for civilians means the criminals will also be armed to the teeth

Bunduki ni ya nini and why do Kenyans want own one. It only gives you a false sense of security while indeed increasing your risk. I've never heard of any private citizen who has ever used his gun and not gotten into trouble.
