Dear Editor,
Kaieteur News – Once in a while you publish letter where its contents are so disgusting that one feels compelled to reply.
One such letter was carried on Jan 24, 2022 in KN titled ‘The sensitive issue of licenses and overall safety’.
Reading what this aggrieved individual had to say gave some insight into his warped thinking where he blames the Police Commissioner for issuing a disproportionate number of firearm licenses to Indo-Guyanese, who, in his opinion, are using the guns to inflict injury on themselves as well as to commit murder and suicide.
The author also claims that the issuance of gun licenses is a National Security issue and is concerned that the granting of these licenses were done not with the “Wisdom of the late Cheddi Jagan’s philosophy”, but instead with deliberate racial bias.
Editor, the citizens of Guyana have had no reason at any time to be fearful of legal gun owners.
What people are afraid of are the brazen and lawless bunch of gun-toting bandits in cars and on motorcycles, armed with ILLEGAL guns, operating openly in broad daylight, robbing and pillaging the helpless, inflicting harm on anyone that resists! That is an indisputable fact of life in Guyana and that is what people should be most concerned about. Our author, however, willfully choosing to ignore this, has an issue with Indo-Guyanese whose firearms were legally acquired. It leaves one to wonder what sort of sick thinking guides the moral compass of some people.
Best regards,
Dennis Balgobin
