Ok, so the bahamas gets 5 billion dollars and the politicians take it all.

How do you blame the gun manufacturers for the illegal arms in the Bahamas?

This latest desperate attempt to grab a “freebie handout” has no chance of success … much like Slavery Reparations from England … Climate Change Reparations from the Industrial World … next will be Compensation for Cocaine from Colombia, Marijuana from Jamaica, Fentanyl from China, Poachers from the DR, Refugees from Haiti and Cuba … problem is failure to secure our Borders is our responsibility … and breaks the chain of causation.

Harsh reality is we need to accept that we need to “work” to pay our bills and … not become dependent on “handouts”, otherwise we are simply “Beggars of the World”

Beggars of the world with offshore accounts from China to Channel Islands…

@Bana10…… spot on!

But firstly, shouldn't the premiership, be called upon to defend,--- **Why,** --- If it was truly said that --- **73 unnamed popoulaces'** --- Were shooted from the barrels of the colony's --- Legally issued guns, --- Being in the hands of **"unnamed"** policemans', --- Then, how come,. --- **All 73 policemans',** --- Have gone --- Uncharged and allowed to remain on, --- **Paid, pensions protected and vacation benefits active duty?** --- **But some may have shooted --- **More than just the one popoulace.** --- Yes?

For Bahamian adolescent male, gun is a symbol of masculinity. In this female and rainbow dominated world makes face gun becomes the only manhood. The gun culture begins early in a boy's life that female lead households have multi-daddys but none serve as father the protector, the guide the positive bond and leader of masculinity.
So adolescent young men huddle together playing with bullets fascinated by their smooth touch, pointed or dull tip and realize the weight if power, terror, control, macho, bigness, invincibility and control factor it represents. Then each boy testosterone flowing develops his masculinity around having one in his waist as an Alpha Male Leader. Boys will follow him and girls will adore him as a pack leader.
The down side. The young gun owner after working to purchase one, $1,500.00 to $4,000.00 depending on the sophistication of chip, modifications, rounds, color, stopping power, rounds fired per minute. Some young men move on to go beyond mere fascination to terror reputation making themselves also marked men. Driven by females adrenaline rush for danger gun power also needs money.
The reputation as a shooter means you live sleepless nights moving from safe location to the next always laying low avoiding both the Police and impending revenge death that is sure to come. With one life cycle ended living on as talking piece of entertainment exploits of who he spank and how many spank into him,soon another will enter the gun world. A short stressed out impoverished regretful life to live as street movie entertainer, only in this movie you star only once, a body bag transfers you to the grave and the streets big up another hero to die.

Gun makers make guns. Guns don't kill people. People kill people. It's not a difficult concept to grasp.

I slipped on a banana peel on the sidewalk. Can I sue Super Value for selling the banana?

No. You have to sue the farmer for growing the banana. Sure Davis would join in the suit.

Lol

So stop selling cars.

The drug business class gunmen around the world and different regions use gun violence to influence national policies or to strong arm their growing or sales area with some having international touch ya ability. Guns mostly flow into The Bahamas by locals for profit after acquiring them from the streets where they a plentiful and readily available. Only the clean guns bought from a store could be traced to buyer so the underground is the main supplier.
The dangerous gunmen are the robbers of innocent civilians. They are the economic gunmen. They maintain discipline and secrecy, valuing to enjoy their life. They would maim and kill to pay just a bill or purchase an item.

Whats next, suing WSC just because someone drowned in their pool? Suing MOW because someone died in a car accident? This is the most ridiculous argument I've ever heard.

In a world turning itself upside down it is no surprise however Government aught to get its own affairs in order. ALWAYS FISHING AROUND TO BLAME SOMEONE ELSE.
Zero Credibility or responsibility.

It is the police and customs that allow this to happen. Its called corruption! Corruption sees' 10 Billion and eyes lite up! Are the gun manufacturers smuggling the guns into the country, dont think so!

Exactly

This country is rapidly becoming (an even worse) international embarrassment. These people will come up with any cockamamie excuse to avoid taking personal responsibility for their actions.

This is a good idea. It will take years to bear fruit, decades even. But similar actions against manufacturers have worked in the past, most recently against pharmaceutical company Purdue, but also less recently cigarette and automobile manufacturers.

A losing battle. While I support the efforts of the PM, this will never win in court. Presidents, Congress, the Senate have all tried to fight this madness. To no avail. We need to tighten our controls here to stop illegal weapons from coming in.

More words. Because someone here is profiting and once big money is involved, in The Bahamas, nothing is too illegal
