Has anyone been charged with gun possession over the past 5 months? Anyone who was caught in possession of a firearm other than when they was committing a crime. And did they get the full penalty as is allowed by law. Donald Trump believe that arming more citizens can stop gun crimes. But there have been 21 mass school shootings in the United States this year. The United Kingdom has some of the strictest gun laws in the world. But their murder rate is up 46% this year. Most victims in the U.K., including London, are stabbed to death. There has also been increases in other major crimes including rapes and robberies . Here in the Bahamas, while authorities have achieved a 50% reduction in murders it is unnerving that an individual or gang. Can pull up on another Bahamian in broad daylight and shoot them multiple times until they are dead. Hopefully these persons will be caught and never see the streets of freedom again.
