Mr Smith was at the time interviewing Minister for Health and Social Development Hon Marlon A. Penn (R8) on ZBVI 780 AM on February 13, 2023, when he called for a ban on the guns, hinting that it could lead to more gun Crimes in the VI.
“There's got some guns in the community… they have like magazines, and they shoot little pellets like an automatic rifle. You squeeze the trigger, it's battery operated, and it spits pellets like a machine gun like it was M16 or AK47,” he detailed.
Smith said within the community children would wear goggles and hoodies to protect their skin and would engage in full gang wars in areas like the Greenland field.
