As roving gangs tighten their grip on Port-au-Prince, Haitian officials are now pointing the finger—at the United States. Their claim? That a surge in firearms, allegedly smuggled in from states like Florida, is fueling the wave of violence plaguing the country’s capital.
Massive protests have broken out across Haiti as people called to arm themselves against organized criminal groups.

Never mind the decades of corruption, broken governance and weak law enforcement. Now it’s the fault of U.S. gun laws.

According to reports, weapons purchased in the U.S. are winding up in the hands of Haitian gangs—many of whom openly terrorize neighborhoods, traffic women and children and operate with impunity. But here’s the part journalists don’t want to talk about: those weapons aren’t walking themselves off the boat. (RELATED: Legacy Media Redemption Fantasy?

This isn’t a Second Amendment issue—it’s a border and accountability issue. If Haiti can’t police its ports or secure its own institutions, blaming law-abiding American citizens isn’t going to fix that.
Gangs in Haiti have taken over police stations, and the main airport. All flights cancelled.

Meanwhile, the United Nations, ever eager to point the finger at the U.S., is now calling for “greater international cooperation” to stop the arms flow. Translation? They want American taxpayers to clean up someone else’s mess—again. (RELATED: Sailing Into Tyranny: Uncovering The UN’s Sinister Plot To Tax You)
Instead of smearing gun-owning Americans, maybe it’s time for Haiti to ask why its political class let gangs overrun the country in the first place.

How bout using all that $$$ the Clinton Foundation supposedly pumped into Haiti? Can’t find it? How sad! Seems the local police aren’t doing their job, probably more difficult after their pistols were sold to the gangbangers.
