BELIZE CIVIL DEBATE ABOUT SOME STUPID GOVERNMENT SPONSORED LAWS

BELIZE GOVERNMENT SUBJECT OF NEGATIVE REVIEWS WITH DRACONIAN LAWS DEBATE GOING ON!

AMONG THEM ARE IT IS ILLEGAL TO HAVE A FLARE GUN, WHICH IS REQUIRED SAFETY EQUIPMENT IN MOST OTHER COUNTRIES LAWS, FOR BOATS. A BULLET PROOF VEST FOR PROTECTION IS ALSO AGAINST THE LAW AND CAN INVOLVE BIG FINES AND MANDATORY LONG JAIL TERMS IN A CAGE. IT HAS BEEN RUMORED EVEN CHILDRENS BOW AND ARROW SPORT SETS ARE ILLEGAL, AS ALSO B-B PISTOLS USED FOR PLINKING TIN CANS, OR PAPER TARGETS BY CHILDREN. I USED TO HAVE ONE ON CAYE CAULKER, 4 DECADES AGO AND SHOT THE CROWS WHO WOULD PULL UP MY WATERMELON SEEDLINGS. IT WORKED UNTIL THEY FIGURED OUT THE RANGE OF A B-B. THEN THEY LAUGHED AT ME. IN BELIZE YOU WON´T BE LAUGHING IF CAUGHT WITH A CHILDREN´S DAISY TOY B-B PISTOL TODAY.


.
That is sheer stupid.
Belize should take proper note of, and allow Internationally recommended safety
equipment.
