    The government officials throughout the Caribbean islands are part of the problems. Most of these ports of entry are headed by government officials friends and buddies. So that is why any amount of guns and drugs can come through. Only the poor man drugs and guns they confiscate at the ports. I hope this young man was not involved with guns and drugs activities.

    In the United States, Gun Violence is COMMONPLACE, and apparently ACCEPTED.
    Are the LEEWARD ISLANDS going to follow their lead.
    If the perpetrator did not have a gun, he would not have been able to execute him So Easily.
    From whence cometh the influx of guns. I doubt that the Leeward Islands have a gun factory.
    So which Government Officials are accepting bribes to turn their eyes away while these guns are imported and distributed.
    First , let us STOP THE INFLOW,
    Then we can concentrate on FILTERING OUT THOSE THAT ARE ALREADY IN CIRCULATION.
