Don't know what got to him. Social media, IDK. Another link at the main thread in LBM says the same, from AP. But guns all over makes it easier.
Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of gun laws are in place in Jamaica and are there many gun deaths? Is it like the UK?
They seem to get along fine without them. Was surprised to learn that the killings in France that made headlines were with guns. I thought they were on the same line as the UK, very few guns about. TIA, and for any suggestions to be adopted here you might have.

Of course some people have removed themselves from danger by extreme wealth. At times, I wonder if that is what it is about, getting territory to keep people away. That's how the animals do it.

Banning guns will not stop radical terrorists from acquiring them for their purposes.
Thanks for using my brothers' deaths to springboard your stance against individual rights. Really though. Classy.
Just like the NRA; Politicize the dead while the bodies are warm.

And don't dare discuss the role of guns when the bodies are cold either .
To be kind - fuck guns!
