What\u2019s happening now in Haiti reminds us why we have the Second Amendment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Armed gangs raided Haiti\u2019s prisons, releasing some 4700 convicted <\/a>criminals.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rape, kidnapping, and murder are rampant. The people hide behind closed doors wondering where their next meal is coming from, and whether their doors will be kicked in by armed gang members.\u00a0\u00a0The Haitian government, such as it is, admits the forces of order are \u201coutnumbered and outgunned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n How are the law-abiding citizens going to protect themselves when the police can\u2019t protect them? The Haitian gun law situation is described here by our own Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives: \u201cPossession 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. In order to bring a firearm into Haiti, an owner must obtain written permission in advance from the Director-General of the Haitian National Police (HNP).
