Somewhere in America there are several people making a metric ton of money selling weapons to Hatian gangs. I hope they are found and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

The UN report said some estimates put it at half a million legal and illegal weapons here as of 2020. It reported that guns and ammunition were being smuggled in from land, air and sea from US states such as Florida, Texas and Georgia.

FFS. Turning Haiti into a shooting gallery is the last thing those people need.
