fi Dr. Dudd - 35,000 licensed firearm holders in JA

[gourmet]

The National Gun Rights Association (NGRA) said that it is concerned with the prime minister's statement that agencies such as the Firearm Licensing Authority (FLA) will be removed from the Budget. The association said that it has viewed this position "as a signal that the FLA will have to increase fees to stay afloat".

"The National Gun Rights Association would like to remind the Government that the estimated 35,000 licensed firearm holders are carrying firearms in pursuit of their constitutional right to self-defence and not as a privilege," it said in a statement. "The Government has not made it safe for the citizens to go about their normal business in peace and safety, and therefore should not add any undue burden in our right to protect ourselves and our families."
The NGRA said that it "believes that the Government is making a fundamental mistake and should consider dismantling the Firearm Licensing Authority," arguing that "the issuing of gun licences should be returned to the police force with a strict system of accountability and efficiency and ultimately less expensive for the citizens".

They are lost. they have the right intensions, but not the tools to achieve it.
firearms ion Jamaica cannot be failly issyed by th epolice forse. They have been doinf it for decades,and have been proven to be incapable of doing so. If the present issuing organization is ablt to issue even the minimym ammount that is needed for thesafety of the country, they won't have to raise one dime.
As a matter of fact they couild reduce the lisencing fees and still make and still be able to operate wothout givernment support. this the national gun rights don't even see.
They as is common in Jamaica,think in the box. they always revert to the old failed ways every time the eventual problem arise.
As usual they eventuasally fail. since they don't show workable alternative to the problem.
