This is getting stupid. Get all the guns off the island, If you are caught with a gun the punishment should be prompt and severe
Never mind “This is getting Stupid”. How about “This is Unconscionable???” I am extremely dismayed and concerned about the recent increase in gun-related violence that is occurring on Grand Cayman. I continue to find it hard to believe what I read in this newspaper about all of the shootings and violent crimes and the government’s inability to address this problem in a serious manner. My wife and I discovered Grand Cayman in 1990 on a vacation visit. We fell in love with the Island, as we found the residents to be wonderful, caring people, who made us feel comfortable and welcome. Unlike other Caribbean Islands we had visited in the past, we felt very safe; and had no concerns about a moonlight stroll on the beach or an evening walk to a local bar or restaurant. Over the past 30+ years we have taken extended annual vacations on Grand Cayman with our friends and family; and, unfortunately, as of recent, that feeling of being safe is no longer present and comforting. For the sake of residents and visitors, the government has to take immediate steps to put a stop to this indiscriminate increase in violent crimes. Whatever it takes, GET IT DONE, the sooner, the better!!!!
