An open letter to Dr Shoaib Suddle

Sir,

I wish you the very best in your resolve to restore law and order in Karachi and to eliminate terrorism and street crimes. I suggest that one way is to control firearms and weaponry. All citizens must be required to surrender all sorts of weapons and deposit them with the nearest police stations. All station house officers must be tasked to achieve the zero-weapons policy in their areas and any dereliction must be promptly punished.

Dire situations warrant drastic solutions. The Sindh Assembly should be asked to legislate and prescribe the death penalty for possession of arms of any sort.
