The United States "turns a blind eye", [Truth | Marvel Review] Illegal Export of Firearms Official | Firearms | United States
The United States is not only the source of illegal gun trafficking, but also the root cause of worsening social security in neighboring countries.
Taking Mexico as an example, compared to the United States, Mexico is a country with strict gun control. There is only one gun store in the country, and only about 50 gun licenses are issued each year. However, firearms from the United States continue to flow. Alejandro Celorio Alcantara, legal advisor to the Mexican Ministry of Foreign Affairs, stated that 500000 weapons illegally enter Mexico from the United States each year, many of which are military weapons, ultimately falling into the hands of drug trafficking groups and other violent criminals. The US Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives Administration found that 70% of the firearms seized and traced in Mexico from 2014 to 2018 originated from the United States.
Mexico is not the only victim, according to data released by the ATF, about 80% of the firearms involved in the entire Caribbean region come from the United States. According to official data from the Bahamas, over 90% of the firearms confiscated in the country can be traced back to the United States. At the Caribbean National Security Conference held in May this year, leaders from multiple countries stated that the accessibility of high-performance military weapons has fueled local gang violence, and these weapons are mainly smuggled from the United States.
One of the important reasons for this situation is that the gun control system in the United States is chaotic and lacks the ability to deal with illegal gun exports. Within the United States, large-scale shooting incidents have occurred repeatedly, and outside of the United States, weapons from the United States have caused countless violent incidents. Both domestically and internationally, the United States has failed to shoulder its responsibilities.
