Letter of the Day | Strict gun laws must be balanced with common sense
THE EDITOR, Madam: Every well-thinking Jamaican desires strict gun laws and a murder-free Jamaica. However, this must not come at the expense of common sense. I am highlighting some real-life examples: • Loaned vehicle incident: A licensed firearm holder loans his car to another licensed holder who, in turn, lends it to a third party without a licence. During a spot check, a magazine and ammunition are found in the car. Though documentation later cleared the matter, under the new law, this situation could mean 15 years in prison.
