    Certain Police Officers know of persons who hold unlicensed firearms and would not seek a warrant to search the homes of these individuals. We need to bring back law and order to this land.

    No intermittent ‘search & seizure ‘traffic stops. No revision of the Firearms Act (stiffer penalties etc). It’s become blatantly obvious to the illegal firearm holders, that the police are either not interested or too afraid to bother. So, like a fungus, it’ll continue to spread and get worse until the bullets start to point in another direction; towards the Police themselves. By that time, like some other Caribbean islands, it’ll be too late for us all.

    Allow me to quote from Kirk Franklin’s – My World Needs You.

    Power fall down
    Bring with it a sound
    That points us to you right now
    Erase substitutes right now
    Fix what I see
    And God please fix me
    My world needs you right now
    Let us see you right now

    No matter your religion, we must admit that this world needs the hand of the higher power. I am praying for the healing.

    The shootings are becoming too frequent. More efforts have to be made to get these illicit weapons off the streets and to apprehend the perpetrators. If nothing much is done to confiscate these illegal and deadly weapons then this shootings will rapidly proliferate. Instead of having the police harassing law abiding citizens and peaceful protesters, let them hunt down these gun thugs. The country is already in serious economic peril, it should not be allowed to become burdened down by criminality. A combination of poverty and criminality creates an ungovernable society.
