I am glad to say we have settled down somewhat, but one still has to go through a rigorous time to be able to get lisenced for firearm ownership, and that for a shotgun or handgun. Automatic weapons are a NO-NO except in the hands of the police or the criminal- and the latter have weapons unheard of by the police. Note: There is a true story of a man going up to the loans officer at a local bank several years ago with a loan application which, upon examination, had the loan officer ecstatic and he was just about to stamp "APPROVED", when he asked the applicant what the nature of his business was, whereupon the applicant said,"Firearm manufacture!" People here have been making homemade firearms for years, and very effective they were too. If one were to cover Jamaica with a metal detector, the amount of buried firearms uncovered would exceed the population, and that's a fact. I feel for Zimbabwe and all the other third world countries going through repressive government controls/race hatred, and just hope that people can find some sort of halfway point in which to come out alive and find a peaceful solution before many millions more are eradicated You have been going through a more virulent form of what we went through in the 70’s and early 80’s under the Manley government here in Jamaica.
