In David Kopel’s 1992 book “The Samurai, The Mountie, and The Cowboy”, he has a chapter devoted to Jamaica and it’s ban on civilian firearms ownership since the mid 1970s accompanied with among the highest violent crime rates in the Western world. A not particularly pleasant portrait of poverty and political corruption accompanied with drug related violence, with a quote of “I shot the sheriff but I did not shot no deputy” (from the Bob Marley composed song) heading the start of the chapter.
The hammer is back on the pistol, too.
I heard that Conan plans to vacation in Johannesburg, South Africa first (maybe with a side trip to Mogadishu, Somalia), then Jamaica.
not to worry...... for ganja call 1 876 555 3972
Certainly. That's why they get you stoned before they rob you. Less resistance that way.
They just need EBT cards and free college, then they’ll be great contributors to their society, the next Plato, Tesla and Einstein. Yep yep.
I take it these guys won’t be on the Jamaican Bobsled Team in the upcoming Winter Olympics.
No police here in the country, lots of guns, no violence.
full auto IMI uzis, and Browning Hi-Power......NOT the ghetto guns of American urban cities: hi-points, lorcin, Jennings, etc.
I wouldn’t go to Jamaica on purpose but then I would say the same for Chiraq, Detroitistan, Dayton, or Baltimore. I find many foreigners to be blissfully naive about their personal safety in the US. I believe I am safer in Moscow than most large US cities. We live in a violent country. And the Carib is about the same.
Granted it’s a high murder rate, but are those being murdered locals or tourists? Baltimore, Detroit, Chicago all have high murder rates, but theyre mostly killing each other.
What do democRAT leaders in Baltimore, which has a higher murder rate than Jamaica, tell their residents to do? Stay in their homes?
Just wonderin'....
Still “safer” than Chicago
Ian Fleming’s “Three Blind Mice”.
What’s the point of even going there?

Trump was right, again.
But but but but the media - our good friends - tell us tourists are running away from America because of Trump.
The title is way too accusatory. Isn’t it alleged murders, supposed murders? Do we really know there are murders, it’s all just bias...
Only one out of three Jamaicans know anything about gun safety.
