Weapons Free Karachi may not be possible but there is a dire need to reduce and control gun ownership.

the populations of karachi and hyderabad were armed by general ziaulhaq for a specific purpose and this weaponisation is being maintained indefinitely by followers in his footsteps

.I fully agree with Ms. Zubaida.
Police has a mindset of its own. It is the result of long history of having been politicized. The experience and the stories influence their thoughts. Senior police men or officers continue to think in the old way. I think a totally new police would be the answer, with a new name, new uniform new thoughts and trained by new instructors, at new training centers. The last not the least … they should be educated cadets; that means having studied at least one or two years in a college.

Very narrow perception to large scale killing. Need to address root causes i.e. encouraging influx of large groups on political ground involved in robbing, land grabbing etc. that causing deprivation of law abiding citizens of their assets and property and citizens deprived of their due share in government jobs, no consideration of their homelessness. Large number of citizens in old areas and in district central suffering with different ailment and diseases. Government’s negligence towards their plight.

To the best of my knowledge, Right to Bear Arms is not in the Pakistani constitution. U.S. and Pakistan cannot be compared. Karachi and entire Pakistan can be de-weaponized. It’s the will that’s needed.
