Where are these guns coming from? Antigua does not manufacture them so how are they so prolific?
All these illegal guns fighting over drugs. Young people there is more life than drugs and guns. More people into drugs, the guns increased. Lord Jesus, please help my beautiful paradise island.
Imagine that. A high powered rifle. Who do you even need this here? Gang war? What? Smfh
The question is, why again are the holders of these high-profile rifles? That’s the question. You cannot even imagine having one of these in ANU. There are more.
This is more serious than we believe. It means that people are in possession of very dangerous weapons in Antigua and Barbuda. Let us rejoyce that we have found the culprit. He should be waterboarded to say where he got it and who else may have similar weapons.
