Caribbean leaders agree to introduce nationwide bans on assault weapons
Fox News
Caribbean leaders have agreed to introduce bans on so-called "assault weapons" in their respective countries, blaming illegal gun imports for unprecedented spikes in gang violence.
The Caribbean leaders had called a roundtable on the issue amid complaints from several governments about an increase in gangland violence, bolstered by the availability of high-powered, military-style weapons smuggled mostly from the U.S.
Jamaica, Trinidad, The Bahamas, St. Lucia and Barbados have all complained about an increase in gun murders in recent years.
