Dear Editor,
Let's take a note of this "Get the guns" campaign. Sounds very commanding and sincere, eh?
We have heard lots of talk about tackling crime and violence, but seldomly have we heard any strong arguments about getting the guns. However, this recent announcement about "Get the guns" campaign is a very welcome and long overdue one. It's like telling ourselves, for example, that we are going directly to the ants' nest to capture or get rid of them before they come out to attack and bite us.
The campaign is an excellent move if we really mean business, or will truly put our words in action. It will, however, demand a great deal of passion, courage, cooperation, and assistance from the Jamaican public.
Everyone is entitled to join this new enforcement campaign, and every nook and cranny should be invaded for the recovery of illegal guns. If the effort should bring success, we may very well feel a little safer and secured.So, let us try and bring in all the illegal guns and weapons, in whatever way we can.
Too many illegal guns are in this country; we have to discover the hiding places.
