Opportunities for use of firearms in Barbados are popping up “too frequently for comfort”, a newly appointed judge said on Friday as she joined in the chorus of people expressing concern about the number of illegal guns in the country.Madam Justice Wanda Blair expressed concern about the proliferation of firearms in Barbados as she sentenced gunman Donston McDonald Powlett of 6th Avenue, New Orleans, St Michael in Supreme Court No. 5a. He had previously admitted to having a Glock .45-auto calibre pistol, as well as a 9mm Luger pistol on November 14, 2018 and 18 rounds of ammunition.“Every Tom, Dick and Harry has a firearm waiting to use it if the opportunity presents itself. Unfortunately, the opportunities have been presenting themselves too frequently for comfort in this small society,” Justice Blair said.“I join the chorus of those who have said it before me and concerned members of the public – for the persons importing and sneaking in these firearms across our borders to be apprehended and brought to justice. We have to find the sources of these firearms coming into Barbados and root them out.”
