Will Cuba succeed where Australia, Britain, Ireland, and Jamaica met failure...all these island nations failed in their attempts to lower crime through gun bans. Crime went up, guns went up, or both. The only island nation to succeed on this score is Japan (if you call giving up civil liberties success).
Cuba gives its citizens 2 months to register guns - World AP - MiamiHerald.com.
it is not unusual to find firearms in Cuban homes, though most are weapons improvised from household materials or guns that were smuggled into the country and bought on the black market. The call to register arms is for Cubans civilians, and the bulletin stated that "security and protection agents, detectives and bodyguards will be summoned by the Ministry of the Interior" for an independent licensing process.
