Gun Trafficking and Smuggling
Gun trafficking and smuggling refer to the illegal trade of firearms. Gun trafficking involves the unlawful sale and distribution of guns, often across borders, circumventing legal regulations. Smuggling specifically denotes bringing firearms into a country illegally, avoiding customs and law enforcement checks. Both practices contribute to crime, violence, and instability, as they enable access to weapons by criminals and unauthorized individuals. Combating these activities requires international cooperation, stricter laws, and effective enforcement to ensure public safety and prevent firearms from falling into the wrong hands.
