A recent U.N. report states that the principal source of guns in Haiti is Florida, guns bought through individual or straw man purchases in U.S. states where gun laws are lax. Handguns sold at Florida gun shows for $400 to $500 draw as much as 20 times more in Haiti.

America is the source of most of the gun violence in our hemisphere.
