ATTORNEY General John Jeremie dropped a major bombshell claim while piloting the Home Invasion (Self Defence and Defence of Property) Bill 2025, in the House of Representatives on Wednesday, when he declared "practically all" of the Opposition MPs had, "not one, not two, not three but sometimes four and five firearms."
He did so as he accused the Opposition of hypocrisy in not wanting to support the bill, which if passed, makes it easier for people who so qualify, to access legal firearms in the defence of themselves, their families and their properties from the criminal element.
Jeremie acknowledged that a multifaceted approach was required to successfully address crime, but asserted that government's first two steps are to create a home invasion offence, and allow citizens easier access to licensed firearms.
