Reply #38: Yes, everyone knows that guns just spring from the ground, fully-formed & functional

[Cirque du So-What]

Guns are in the hands of gangsters in Jamaica because there's profits to be made, and the gun lobby does everything in their power to ensure their unimpeded flow - nevermind whose hands they end up in! Not the concern of gun-company execs or their lobbyists, yunno. The fact that guns are readily available to Jamaican gangsters is testimony to the effectiveness of the 'iron pipeline.'

I'll answer your question by saying that I stay out of risky situations, and that includes walking certain Kingston neighborhoods. As far as risk vs. reward goes, there's no benefit to be gained from it.
