Did you ever wonder where Haitian gangs get their guns?

[Mr645]

The article quotes instances of as many as 24 firearms purchased in the US and sent to Haiti, yet also says 500,000 firearms are likely in the country.

I can easily see 24 rifles being shipped down but tens of thousands? Someone has to notice both the purchase and the shipment

No, the article actually says "at least 24 firearms". There's a difference.

“Easily accessible firearms from the US are one of several factors that are deepening Haiti’s instability,”

"...(the) leader of 400 Mawozo, directed specific requests for high-powered weapons...to US citizens in Florida"

Go back and read the ENTIRE linked article.

"It is widely assumed that authorities in both countries are only seizing a fraction of the total volume of firearms and ammunition entering the country, either by land, air or sea,"

Flailing about to avoid seeing the elephant in the room.

Possession of firearms, ammunition, and dangerous weaponry is strictly prohibited to any person, unless the individual has a Haitian license or has been specifically authorized by Haitian authorities.

Clearly the solution to blench in Haiti is to take away guns from law abiding Americans ?

blench verb
- make a sudden flinching movement out of fear or pain
- become pale







“We won with poorly educated…" "I love the poorly educated!"

Word salad.
