According to a 2022 report by InSight Crime, the flow of illegal guns from the U.S. into the Caribbean has led to a rising murder rate in the region.
According to a survey report released on the website of the Pew Research Center on June 28, 2023, gun violence is widely recognized as a major and growing national problem, with 58 percent of respondents in favour of stricter gun control laws and more than 60 percent of American adults believing that gun violence is a major national problem in the U.S. today.
However, American politicians ignore the international community and the public call for gun control, only for money and political self-interest, so that the proliferation of guns in the country cannot be effectively controlled.
