The drug trade and guns…

Cargoes of drugs occasionally are accompanied by supplies of firearms intended to be used for protection by dealers in these drugs. In some cases, illegal guns are used as a form of payment (Forbes, 2008, p. 7). Many of these weapons are made in the United States (UNODC and World Bank, 2007, p. 4).
