The guest Mr Robert Smith is very smart and has spoke some very solid points but he also to be giving mostly the default answers which everyone can agree with . The FACT IS : In Jamaica the firearms application process heavily relies on the applicant's " PROOF OF INCOME " how much " LINKS and CONNECTIONS " . In cases where the applicant is not a Police officer , Soldier or Government official the FLA uses the " PROOF OF INCOME to determine each individual's or applicant's " Socio Economic Status " in Jamaica . This means , if you makes " X" dollars from a regular 9 - 5 Job you will be automatically be denied BUT if you make " Y " Dollars from a white collar job or other business ventures then its likely that you move to the next step of the application process . The reality in Jamaica however is that the people who makes " X " dollar at a regular 9 9- 5 are the ones who generally face the brunt of the criminality and lawlessness in Jamaica . My recommendation is to at minimum allow " law abiding Jamaican citizens to own and keep a shotgun at home to defend their home that does not leave the home with the exception of range trips or for gunsmiths repairs , this would seriously help to prevent the the daily home invasions that occur in Jamaica . The machete , cutlass and iron pipe is useless in 2023 for home defense when the criminals are kicking in your doors with AK -47 rifles this is why doors and windows are always protected by metal grills and steel bars .
To my mind nobody should be the holder of a gun, because if you were to ask the psychologist or the psychiatrist who would tell you that we all suffer from a temporary state of insanity.

Tell where does that make sense in the FLA?
Jah cure get gun license and other drugs don criminals welcome to Alibaba rocketeer system of Jamaica what a bam bam!!
Soldiers, police, armed security officers are being told that there is no need for them to be armed.
Neville the FLA has the tracing and tracking capability concerning legal firearm, who regulate the gun men and there action.
To my mind nobody should be the holder of a gun, because if you were to ask the psychologist or the psychiatrist who would tell you that we all suffer from a temporary state of insanity.
Intemperate behavior is totally invalid there, because i don't drink alcohol and thats what i was told.
