the right to bear arms

[Spitfir3]

and that is exactly the mentality a lot of trinis have now...pull gun for every little thing..you might get shot for accidentally scuffing a man shoes

[DFC]

Shotguns for all home owners.

I agree.

Its time the law abiding citizens of this country take a stand and protect themselves against criminal scum.

[shogun]

just like they abuse the privilege to operate vehicles. Trinis don't even have the discipline to use our roads without breaking the law.

not a good excuse because those who have access to the weapons are lacking in all these same areas as well

True, but T&T still has not proven its maturity for slack gun control. The last thing we need is a bunch of trigger happy skunts looking to pull gun for every little thing

The road-rage death toll alone, will rival any other category in the first couple years.

in TNT we all have fast access to firearms...

-we can rent it from the protective services
-we can pay $ for the licence

. --we can buy one on d block,STRAIGHT from de pusha, cuz in trini every damn corner it have pusha/block. it sad

You must have excretion for brains...don't u ....?!
A pusher is a pusher ... he will buss price.

what we have now worst, a set of trigger happy bandits, murderers and gang members who feel they can do as they please.

Firearms are illegal?

Only illegal if you get caught. After you kill the criminal/robber/intruder say it was his...there was a struggle and it just went off...

Bandit shot in face by guard, another held at Jamaat

ONE of two bandits who attempted to rob a security guard of his gold chain in St James yesterday evening was in critical condition at hospital last night after he was shot in the face by the guard. The other bandit, who fled the scene after the shooting, was captured shortly after on the compound of the Jamaat-al-Muslimeen on Mucurapo Road and handed over to Western Division police officers. Police said around 5 p.m., the bandits, one armed with a gun, approached the guard and ordered that he hand over the gold chain. However, the guard refused and a struggle ensued before he pulled out his licenced firearm and shot the armed man. Police said the other thief tried to escape by running through the Jamaat’s compound, but was pursued by the guard, who captured him with the help of members of the Jamaat. Western Division police said the injured man was under police guard at Port of Spain General Hospital last night, while the other man was in custody at St James Police Station, where he was assisting officers with their investigations.

No. nobody needs guns in modern society.

right to bear arms? yep, when Jefferson and them 200 years ago ent have no police force, lived on farms/plantations miles apart, and needed firearms for protection.....

We may not now live on plantations but the other infrastructure, u really think the police can protect u at the point in time u are being attacked ?

And in my opinion, the right to bare arms is intended for the senarios where the persons in government or their law enforcement arms subverts the will of the people.

...and the right to have a gun is just like the right to drive: regulated to those responible and registed to do so.

[88sins]

No. nobody needs guns in modern society.

I do hope you can stand by this train of thought & share it, particularly when well armed guntas run up in yuh house to rob, rape, & slaughter it's occupants.


but until that day comes, you can continue riding unicorns & sliding on rainbows & hugging trees

A modern society can do nothing to prevent individuals (and by extension larger cohesive groups) from deciding to cause havoc-think Columbine and continue to the latest public mass shooting.

The 'freedom' that a 'modern' society allows includes an individual to make his or her choices and develop their own POV.

Logically:
1)That freedom includes allowing someone to have increasingly radicalized POV that end up with them deciding to go postal in a public area.


2)One of those choices is the choice to defend one self-If I choose to carry a fire arm...then the freedom of a modern society should allow me the choice and ability to carry afire arm.



Oh and think of what a armed good Samaritan might have been able to do if they were on sight at the beginning of any of those mass shootings.

[Cooloh]

This I agree with 100%

[Slartibartfast]

I think the pros will be vastly outweighed by the cons.

Upon what are you basing that conclusion?

Currently, how often do well armed guntas run up in your house, rob, rape and slaughter you?

If you see a suspicious person randomly walking your road, there are good chances that he wouldn't have a gun because he knows mere possession could get him into trouble. So harsher enforcement could be looked at first to keep people with guns from even coming close to you.

The converse it to allow criminals to walk every where they want with guns as well. Will you let your daughter carry a gun to school? What about girls that have to travel home?

There are too many of us in T&T that are not mature enough to live in a society with the right to bear arms. Especially considering the police track record for enforcing laws. You would end up needing to build your house like a jail cell to be safe.

Damn you beat me to it.

Probably as often as you get into a car accident .....but you use a seat belt EVERY time.
A gun is a tool-a serious one-that you really dont want to have to use in a real situation but...I want the ability to carry one legally....and responsibility.

But a criminal intent isnt concerned with the law-he just gets better at not getting caught.

Pretty much the current situation,

Ok I cant argue with that.....Maybe not a RIGHT-but we need a clear process that includes initial and on going training,insurance,Quality control.

IMHO the TTPS has to prove me unsuitable-not me proving myself suitable.


The system we have is asinine at best and leans towards penalizing law abiding citizens.
