I WISH to once again send out a call to the Ministry of Home Affairs along with the Guyana Police Force to review the licences of firearm owners.

I made this call five years ago and to date have not seen any  intervention in this regard.
I know of several licensed firearm owners who brandish their weapons in public places and threaten people to shoot them when involved in arguments. Some licensed owners are also handicapped or either too old to carry a firearm.
I do really think that one must pass a medical check up to become the owner of a licensed firearm.
The same should be done for drivers’ licences. There are too many drinking and speeding on the major roadways of Guyana.
Lots of the drivers are either too young or acquire their licences through questionable means.
I am looking forward for some changes for a better year ahead.
Good Luck.
