A High Court judge lamented on Friday that the continued indiscriminate use of illegal guns has the Barbadian society “almost paralyzed with fear”, with honest law-abiding citizens afraid to leave their homes.And pointing to recent shooting incidents on the country’s streets, one of which led to the death of a bystander, Madam Justice Laurie-Ann Smith-Bovell said the possession and reckless use of firearms must be stamped out, and sentences imposed on offenders should be enough to serve as a deterrent to others.She made the comments as she addressed the No.4 Supreme Court in the sentencing of known offender Leandro Renaldo Dominic Pope, of Lower Holders Hill, St James.
