Any of you guys remember when the NRA was just about sportsmanship and safety? When they had free seminars on safety? It’s been a while…
I am very pro 2A. Coming from the Bahamas, where guns are illegal (unless you’re gentry or friendly with the nobles and can justify a shotgun) there’s a absolutely a shitton of gun crime. You could “say” it was related to gangs or drugs, but it spills over. Even on the smaller islands - although not as much.
The problem is poverty and lack of opportunity, plain and simple. I’m no bleeding heart, but if you can’t find a job, and your or your baby is hungry and someone offers you a lot of money for illicit labor…. Just saying.
I don’t know what the solution is here, but I think that guy has some valid points.
Especially the hypocrisy and history of “gun control” legislation from the right.
Thanks for watching them and sharing your thoughts.
I have a house on Abaco, and most of the Bahamians I know, those who own a house, have at least a shotgun, maybe a rifle, and I've heard rumors about certain people owning illegal hand guns: "He sleeps with a .45 under his pillow" AFAIK, handguns are ONLY allowed for the police. Shotguns and rifles need to be registered every year according to Bahamian Law, for $150 and $300 annually, each. Yet even on Abaco we regularly get reports "A handgun was found at the scene"
"Even if the bee could explain to the fly why pollen is better than shit, the fly could never understand."
