These are objects that resemble actual firearms so closely that only an expert could distinguish them from real weapons.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a prohibition under Section 39 of the Firearms Act in respect of realistic imitation firearms,\u201d Dalrymple stated. \u201cAnyone who contravenes this provision is guilty of an offence and is liable on conviction to a fine of $3,000 or to imprisonment for one year, or to both.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She further explained that the court has discretion to impose both a fine and a custodial sentence, depending on the circumstances of the offence.<\/p>\n<p>Assistant Commissioner of Police Alleyne Maximae echoed the DPP\u2019s concerns, citing several incidents in which imitation firearms were used to commit serious crimes. Among them was an attempted robbery at MAM\u2019s Supermarket in Massacre on September 20, 2023, and robberies at the Lindo Park and NP gas stations in the same year. He also referenced a 2013 robbery in Newtown involving an imitation firearm.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese were not real firearms,\u201d Maximae said. \u201cPersons out there may think that it\u2019s just a toy, but they can be used in the commission of offences. They\u2019re not just toys.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In light of these incidents, Dalrymple suggested that the importation of toy guns may need to be reconsidered. She noted that some local stores may be importing such items, which could contribute to a culture that normalizes firearms among youth.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeft to me, I would just ban the importation of toy guns,\u201d Dalrymple said. \u201cIt is based on what I see every day in court. Are we going to nurture our young minds to accept that a gun is just a toy?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>She indicated that a formal submission on the matter may be made to the Attorney General, highlighting the broader implications for public safety and youth development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Sherma Dalrymple has issued a strong warning regarding the use and proliferation of realistic imitation firearms in Dominica, citing legal consequences and societal risks associated with their presence.
