In re­sponse to the re­cent surge in vi­o­lence, Ca­roni Cen­tral Mem­ber of Par­lia­ment Arnold Ram has called for farm­ers and fish­er­men to have bet­ter and eas­i­er ac­cess to Firearm Users’ Li­cences.

Ram's state­ment comes in the wake of the mur­der of 27-year-old Christo­pher Chris­t­ian in Carlsen Field, Chase Vil­lage, who was killed while fend­ing off crim­i­nals dur­ing a rob­bery at­tempt at his home on Mon­day.

Com­ment­ing on this in­ci­dent, which is part of a larg­er pat­tern of over 20 vi­o­lent acts against the com­mu­ni­ty re­cent­ly.

"Af­ter al­most a decade of con­tin­u­ous fail­ure by the Gov­ern­ment in na­tion­al se­cu­ri­ty and cit­i­zen safe­ty, the time for talk and emp­ty as­sur­ances is gone," said Ram. "Promis­es flow far too eas­i­ly from the Kei­th Row­ley Ad­min­is­tra­tion, to the point that it has be­come part of the na­tion­al folk­lore that noth­ing they say can be be­lieved."

Ram em­pha­sized the crit­i­cal role that farm­ers and fish­er­men play in the na­tion­al in­ter­est, not­ing that they are es­sen­tial in pro­vid­ing food for a na­tion strug­gling with its food im­port bill.
