I thought they came in from europe

You are joking right? Sarcasm???

Yes

I really don't care where they are coming from....I CARE MORE ABOUT WHY THE GOV CAN NOT STOP THEM.

It is extremely difficult and expensive to police our waters. We’re an archipelago with dozens of entry points into our country. Personnel alone would cost the government tens of millions of dollars. Hardware and software would be another hundred million expenditure. National security is not a cheap venture!

So, just let th3m all in, stop waving our hands and.give up

You were not around during the era of Miami Cocaine Cowboy days & the overflow to/from Bahamas.

Both Trump and DeSantis say Davis neglected to point out that most of the guns he speaks of were purchased by illegal aliens who are allowed to hide out in the Bahamas by the PLP government and are now an increasing existential national security threat to the U.S.

Absolutely right, this upcoming administration in the U.S. are not our friends, and they are no friends to their burgeoning overpopulation of uneducated persons, citizens or otherwise, or their neighbours.

@ExposedU2C

Naaah, I disagree.
While what you have stated may be true, it pails in comparison to the United State’s responsibility in this matter. The United States has created a global arms-trafficking crisis due to their unwillingness to amend gun-control laws. I can write a book on this issue, but I won’t. I will simply say that this crisis falls squarely on the shoulders of the U.S. government and they know it. It is a problem that is much to big for a developing country as small as the Bahamas with a proximity of only 60 miles to the United States.

The U.S Constitution gives its citizenry the fundamental right to bear arms. Most of the guns flowing into and through the Bahamas are coming from the south via the illegal arms trade operated by non-U.S. nationals based in Latin American countries. The U.S government is acutely aware of this fact and both Trump and DeSantis recollect only too well how the Obama administration under it secret covert operation known as 'Fast and Furious' was literally selling firearms and ammunition made in the U.S. to the Latin American illegal arms traffickers and gun lords.

@Exposed 2cu. You are a conspiracy theorist. A whack job. What you allege was done by the Obama administration is untrue The ATF in their report traced the majority of firearms smuggled to the the Bahamas came from the US.

No conspiracy here....just plain facts that were long ago well publicized, much to the embarrassment of the US government. During their presidencies, both Bush and Obama knew full well what the ATF was up to and endorsed the objectives of the then covert operation 'Fast & Furious' from a US foreign policy standpoint. .

85% of our food also comes from the US, too.
So does gasoline.
Guns can't be stopped from coming into The Bahamas. Period.
Maybe we could try to quit producing so many criminals and those who use guns to solve their problems.
Sounds like a failure of our own society, Mr. Davis, don't you think?
Didn't they teach critical thinking in law school?
Did they only teach how to go around suing people for our own failures?

Not that simple! Trust me!

I’m not saying that successive government shouldn't carry any blame. However, the United States is the primary problem on this issue. Brave Davis, the PLP/FNM, and the Bahamian people are the secondary and tertiary problems. They’re the extension of a much greater problem. The gun crisis within the United States has spiraled out of control in epic proportions so much so that their septic tanks (lack of gun control) are now leaking into our country and most the world.

Wikipedia suggests that The Bahamas murder rate is around 28 per 100,000 people
whereas the US is around 4 per 100,000 people.
The US has more guns than people. Well over 400 million.
Think hard people. Are the guns the problem?
Or, could it be lack of parenting and social malaise?
Just asking. The solutions proposed by our politicians, police and pastors are what a D- education produces.

True. But not that simple.

I am in no way vindicating Brave Davis, the FNM, nor the Bahamian people’s responsibility in this matter. But at least we don’t have children constantly being cut down by machine gun fire purposefully when they attend school.
The availability of guns have become far too accessible and prevalent in the U.S. to the point where it’s spilling over into our country.

Not yet, ...you do have their Dad's & Uncles being cut down in their early prime years. Children do not forget pain & disruptions of life. All guns have serial numbers, except plastics, a source for tracing if government or lawyers were serious in suits. Funds spending dictates the seriousness of effort, be it import controls, patrolling or judicial...$ per 100,000.

See my comments to one of your posts above.

Next up the Bahamian government will join with several other countries in a law suit against automobile manufacturers to hold them liable for the harm caused by their products. Recent data indicates that Nissan, Toyota, GM, Ford and Tesla automobiles are directly responsible for numerous traffic fatalities.

Additionally, the Bahamian government will join several other countries in a law suit against Japanese motorcycle manufacturers Kawasaki, Suzuki, Yamaha and Honda in order to hold the manufacturers liable for the harm caused by their products.

The right honorable Governor of Florida has passed a law that allows normal citizens to carry guns without a permit. Been waiting for the blood to flow through the streets. Hasn't happened yet, maybe this weekend.

Right, Honorable?
