Too many shootings are occuring in SVG

EDITOR: Please permit me a space in your newspaper to express my views about the number of shootings that are occurring in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

I must admit that the current upsurge of shootings are very disturbing and something has to be done to curb this serious problem.

We have an international airport that is currently operating as smooth as silk, and with much bigger airlines travelling to and from St Vincent and the Grenadines, that we definitely do not want anything to jeopardize, especially the tourism industry, but with the current upsurge of the shootings, we might be heading to some sort of disaster. Some people may not want to travel to St Vincent and the Grenadines, if they hear about the number of shootings that are occurring here.

The Government and law enforcement officials must get together to bring stricter laws and institute better gun control measures, or everything is just going to be chaotic.
