Ok, fine, lets wave the magical wand and make every firearm disappear from this country. Boom! Gang members will just use shivs, cutlasses, and rocks instead (research the knife attacks in England if you think otherwise). The statements made by White really highlight the deficiencies in our leadership's thinking; a firearm is a tool that can be used for good or bad, just like a knife, car, bottle, etc., it has to be used by someone. Until we fix the issues causing these people to act like baboons in the streets, we are going to continue having this problem. Even more scary is the fact White thinks destroying our civil liberties is somehow a solution to this problem. Really highlights the thought process of so many of our leaders.

Wyoming has the highest rate of firearms ownership in the US, and yet one of the lowest crime rates. I wonder why? Almost like the person behind the gun is a lot more important than the firearm itself.

Remember guys, we need more taxes or else the country is not going to survive.

They probably don't work....as is the case with most business establishments. Nothing but a visual deterrent in most cases.

Self service pumps are the norm for most parts of the US and Canada. It won't address the root issue though, so the problem is still going to exist.

Please go finish shittying up your own country before trying to shitty ours up further. That 8.5% inflation rate is doing a great job at driving your citizens into poverty, so I would recommend you worry about stagflation and the invasion of your country instead of our invasion.

There is a special circle of Hell reserved for Bahamian politicians.

God save us from these pirates!

> Speaking at yesterday’s event, Ms Carrera-Marquis from the Inter-Development Bank (IDB) said the grant will allow for the construction of several solar energy projects throughout The Bahamas.

These Bahamian politicians really know how to swing these poor foreigners into giving them a free handout. Our representatives are masters at selling big dreams lol.

What type of nasty 40 year old man wants to be grinding one 14 year old girl anyways? I agree in general with the concept that Bahamian society is over-sexualized, but no decent man in his right mind would think that a 40 year old man juicing a 14 year old girl is in any way acceptable.

We need to bring back capital punishment for pedos.

Let me guess : we will have another news article describing how we need new taxes to keep the sinking ship afloat in a week, am I right?

Head of state and head of government are two different positions. A theoretical president would just occupy the same role as the governor general, and most likely be appointed by the PM as well.

I highly doubt that the Bahamas will ever move away from FPTP for electing governments; there is no viable third party to justify shifting to MMP or PR, neither federalization to switch to an American type of system.
