Only the criminals have guns in Bermuda. My neighborhood in NY is much safer! Someone tried to break into my hotel bedroom window a few years ago in Bermuda. If I had a gun I would have shot him. I guarantee it would be a deterrent if every robber thought that there would be a chance of him getting shot during a burglary.
b , b , b bu , but …Isn’t is worse everwhere else in the world ? ?
This is paradise , after all ………
Nope we do not need guns, i can see it now crooked police officers ‘loosing’ their guns and they end up on the street with more criminals. OR the mother/grandmother approved for a gun in her home, it gets stolen from her criminal son and then here we go again! This never can be fully regulated and for that reason we say no to GUNS!
Look how many criminals have guns in the USA??!!! It doesnt matter if i have a gun because idk how and when they will use theirs and they do not know i have a gun.
