Anti-gang organisations are calling for Government to ban tinted visors on helmets to help discourage potential shooters.Colford’s Family Against Violence, and Help Save Our Bermuda, this week began an online petition against the visors, which are sometimes used by shooters to hide their identities.More than 130 people had signed the petition by press time last night, less than 24 hours after it was first posted online.Several of those who signed wrote that such legislation is long overdue.“The increase in the shooting incidents have brought this idea with the hope that assailants’ faces being visible to others would hopefully dissuade the culprits from taking action,” the petition reads.The organisations claim that the majority of shootings since 2003 have been ride-by shootings, with a number of the shooters wearing tinted visors.Four men have been fatally shot this year.“We have to stand up and start somewhere, and what better place than here,” the petition reads.“We, the people of Bermuda would like to request our Government to please put the lives of our people above everything else. It is our people who repeatedly suffer and suffer. Enough is enough.”Activist Gina Spence called earlier this month for tinted helmets to be banned.Yesterday, National Security Minister Wayne Perinchief said he appreciated the effort in starting the petition, and would be happy to receive it.“I have previously indicated my support for some revision to the law, and support the banning of tinted visors,” he said.Bermuda Democratic Alliance MP Mark Pettingill also praised the proposed ban, saying it was “a good idea”.A police spokesman said that it would not be prudent for the Bermuda Police Service to comment on proposed legislation or suggestions. However he said: “The BPS will support any legislation that makes our community safer, as well as our officers.”Useful website: http://www.petitiononline.com/ksss2011/petition.html.
