Democrats are down there on vacation. They should be rounded up as suspects.

We were supposed to go to PR on the 21st, we cancelled (not because of that) but my girl is from PR and did mention the violence. Her nephew just got back to the US from a week visit, said he almost got mugged walking home.

Twenty-five years after Puerto Rico made headlines by sending its National Guard to patrol urban neighborhoods, the island is still one of the most dangerous places in the world, even with steady declines in violent crime.
Final paragraphs which should be the concluding thoughts.
So what is the message?

Puerto Rico has long had one of the highest murder rates in the country, almost all of it attributable to gang violence. Obviously what they need is more gun control since
- permit to purchase is required for all firearms
- registration is required for all firearms
- License to own is required for all firearms
- Carry license is on the books, but like NYC is only available to the well connected
- All NFA firearms are prohibited
Are obviously not enough.
Too bad Puerto Rico isn't an island were the bad guys can't get guns - oh wait it IS an island. They obviously need more restrictions on the law abiding citizens and maybe a ban on plastic drinking straws too.

Puerto Rico is simply a residual colony from the late Age of Imperialism. We should do the right thing and grant them complete independence.

Let me guess.
They have gun control and the citizens are unarmed.
So the criminals just go ahead and ignore the laws, as criminals are wont to do, and go on their killing sprees without free of repercussions.

They have gun control and the citizens are unarmed.They "only" have the gun control listed in post #16 From a Democrat viewpoint these are only a minimal "first step"
