St. Kitts and Nevis is the tiny "West Indes" nation where Justice Breyer was robbed by a man wielding a machete. It has very strict gun registration laws:
Firearm Registration
Civilian Gun Registration: In St Kitts & Nevis, the law requires that a record of the acquisition, possession and transfer of each privately held firearm be retained in an official register
State-Owned Firearm Records: In St Kitts & Nevis, State agencies are required6 to maintain records of the storage and movement of all firearms and ammunition under their control
Marking and Tracing Guns and Ammunition
Firearm Marking: In St Kitts & Nevis, a unique identifying mark on each firearm required by law

98 percent gang/drug related. They’ve started capital punishment to deal with it.
I’ve never understood the logic of passing laws to stop CRIMINALS from doing something. What kind of delusional mind do you have to have to say to yourself “If we ban the guns, criminals won’t be able to get guns to rob/murder people”. It only hurts the law abiding citizens, and helps the criminals.
No way can this happen when the scumbag criminals can’t legally have weapons. My world is in such disarray, I must have caught liberalism. Please, somebody shoot me!
