SimonB, Otteralum the USA is barely getting around to sort of legalizing pot and it'll probably take years for all of the states to follow suit. There is absolutely no chance that other more harmful drugs will be legalized any time in the next decade. So, forget about the legalization of "drugs" in Belize. This is not a realistic solution to what ails our island.

Diane Campbell, no problem, we'll all just avoid the shootings when they're going on and everything will be OK.

Those who chose to continue the Gun Debate on this thread....seriously?

Reaper's points are good (except the Gun Debate bits).

Maya House and Poppie ...100% right.

Phil, zero for starting the Gun Debate here.

Me, 100% right as usual. And, as usual, no one is listening.

One stray bullet is all it will take.
