This is a temporary solution. What needs to be done is an assault weapons ban and a competent police force which doesn't bow to politicians.

Lack of regulation and a large part of city under the control of political gangs do the math.

i can understand people smuggling in guns by taking them apart. but there is no way one can smuggle RPGs like that. Also people might get licenses for small arms and machine guns. nobody gets a license for a RPG.

forgive me but i still have trouble believeing that RPGs are being used by gangs. I would have believed it if it was TTP or some other militant organization

police and FC have captured few areas from gangsters
4 people dead
nabeel gabol car attacked with grenade, he survived attack

Karachi has been turned into another Beirut.

Karachi has been turned into another Beirut.

Naaah Beirut was more on religious lines. This is ethnic sectarian type warfare.

True but the infighting that occurs on a daily basis is similar to that of Beirut or even Baghdad.

Karachi needs to be put under Martial Law with Army Checkpoints on every corner.

First they need to flush out these gangsters, criminals, MQM Thugs, Pasthun Assassins, etc. and either lock them up or kill them.

Then ban all automatic and assault weapons and also establish proper housing regulations so that 20 people living in one house will be illegal places Lyari Slums won't exist.

Disperse the population and make better housing schemes on the periphery of the city and finally solve this Karachi menace.

The situation is not as bad as the civil war days of the mid-1990's. But ever since the MQM-Pasthun Wars started in the late 1980's, I would say atleast 20,000 people have been killed.

Why police are not wearing bullet proof jackets?

When police in south asia will be competent to care for its own life as well as life of general public.
