I dunno, I may approve of this

One law that many westerners may not approve of is one that Singapore has with respect to firearms. Singapore is a very safe city. I feel safer here than I do in many parts of New Orleans or Atlanta. Part of the reason I feel so secure is that Singapore doesn't allow people to own possess guns in a security area (most places where I would want to go). Further if you use a gun (not even in a crime) or attempt to use a gun, you can be put to death... and they are.

Arms Offences Act[6]

The Arms Offences Act regulates the offences with regards to firearms. Any person who uses or attempts to use arms (Section 4) can face execution, as well as any person who uses or attempts to use arms to commit some scheduled offences (Section 4A). These scheduled offences are being a member of an unlawful assembly; rioting; certain offences against the person; abduction or kidnapping; extortion; burglary; robbery; preventing or resisting arrest; vandalism; mischief. Any person who is an accomplice (Section 5) to a person convicted of arms use during a scheduled offence can likewise be executed.

Trafficking in arms (Section 6) is a capital offence in Singapore. Under the Arms Offences Act, trafficking is defined as being in unlawful possession of more than 2 arms.

I had a chance to chat with a lady who is native to Singapore today and she was very confused about how we allow people to have guns and use guns - how we have these debates about feedom to carry guns when there are so many obvious examples of the misuse of guns. She brought up specifically the university killings by the South Korean student (sidenote: I think many people outside the US know more about the US than people who actually live there. We had a nice conversation about Nip Tuck and Micheal Jackson). The law in Singapore is clear - even if you have a gun, you better never use it.
