Guns in Puerto Rico: Locked and Loaded in the Tropics

  • At 91 percent, Puerto Rico has the world’s highest overall percentage of homicides by firearms. But this statistic hasn’t stopped the NRA from setting up shop, establishing their 51st chapter in Puerto Rico.
    Puerto Rico’s sky-high murder rates and extremely strict gun laws have only encouraged the association to fight for their constitutional rights, and arm the island with more and more guns. In 2014 alone, gun permit applications doubled, possession of guns tripled, and licenses for shooting ranges quadrupled the previous year's numbers.
    VICE News traveled to Puerto Rico to look at the rising tide of firearms that are changing the commonwealth and the culture. We met up with street thugs, the Puerto Rican SWAT team, pro-gun advocates, a gun control politician, and a women’s gun group, to find out how the NRA’s 51st and newest testing ground is working out.

      Because it's about control and power. I personally believe that you're a law abiding citizen, you should be able to own a select-fire, suppressors, and short barreled weapons. When citizens have more options to defend themselves, crime drops; whereas more restrictions inhibits that ability.

It was rumored that most of them were bought from the marine base in Vieques. That year, there were more people killed in PR than in Iraq. Remember this was the height of Iraq war too. Insane!

    I am Puerto Rican and I have only one thing to say; if there isn't reform or just plain expulsion of the current government into the government that our founding father gave us; which is a constitutional republic in both Puerto Rico and the states; I can guaranty that in the near future we will live in a totalitarian form of government. This is extremely alarming and depressing because most people live in the here and now and do not look into the future to see the consequences of our actions as a society today may cause tomorrow. The moral decay in both Puerto Rico and the states is rampant and nations begin to crumble when the real concept of family is destroyed because that is our building block. The 2nd amendment was set forth to protect ourselves from both foreign and domestic harm. That is invading nations, out of control governments like the one we see today and criminal assailants.

    I’m Puerto Rican, and I can say this everything in this video it’s true, you literally cannot go outside at night. Every government official in the island may have ties to the local mafia or cartel
    Also were part of the United States, were not a nation were a territory, we don’t have a president we have a governor

      PR has a National Guard and also US Reserve solders. They have fought and died in war like any other solders from other states. They aren't "protected by the armed forces of the US", they are part of the US Armed Forces. Additionally, they do not pay federal income taxes (unless you work for the federal goverment) for the reason you stated but they do pay medicare/medicaid taxes. And they pay millions of dollars to the federal government in import taxes.

      The federal government/agencies like ATF or FBI have full jurisdiction of the island.
      That means if you commit federal felony like having a full auto gun
      You are going to federal prison!
      Without of doubt.
      Puerto Rico is a US territory but there root structure is a state with limitations…

Im shocked and appalled to see this happening in their home, as I have never seen or experienced this type of violence during my visit.

There is a trend like this. Less legal gun ownership=More illegal gun ownership and gun violence. As you have clearly seen from this video, gun control does not work. Those people have machine pistols, automatic rifles, anti-material rifles, and what have you. The heaviest gun I saw within the legal shooters' ranks was a .50 revolver. 5 rounds, 50 caliber, not much against 4-6 adversaries (how thugs roll.)

    The "gun debate," boils down to this for me.. There is none. You can't un invent something, it will always be there no matter what you do. Where ever there is a demand there will be someone to fulfill it. Just like drugs, It's human nature, so be realistic. Gun control doesn't work, in the end it just becomes, "lets ban this gun because it is more dangerous than this gun or this magazine because it holds more than what is safe for it to hold!" Any yes any firearm is dangerous in the hands of someone willing to use it for bad intentions. It always comes down to people, you can't change people. So don't tell me making firearms illegal will solve the problem. And Vice, you can have whatever view you like, just don't push it on to me or worst on people who are uneducated on the subject such as yourself. It is unethical, just report the news without a bias. Is that really so much to ask for these days?

      @DG0398 9 ปีที่แล้ว +10

      ScottHigh23 I said this in another comment chain but I'll paste it here because I think it highlights why I could never agree with the NRA's stance:
      You Americans ignore the fact that gun ownership is huge up here yet we MONITOR those who own guns. You fail to see the benefits of BACKGROUND CHECKS in stemming violent crime. I live right across the river from Detroit, a city that had 333 murders in 2013, we had 4. You're fooling yourself and only making things worse by not petitioning for the moderation of gun owners.
      This sums up the problem nicely.

    I encourage everyone to do their own research.

    There is a lot of misinformation in this video.
    It feels like, to me, that they had some inexperienced PA or intern google some basic info and spit it back out.
    You have to chose your source of information very carefully.
    While it was an interesting video, there were no hard hitting questions to the politician and a lot of the same misinformation we get from other news shows.
    Bad form.
    When I was kid, Puerto Rico was a test market for all types of corporate things, like cable TV, fashion, and music, just to name a few. I''m sure politicians didn't have a problem with that. They found countless reasons as to how it could benefit the people, and themselves.
    The NRA's presence in Puerto Rico is a threat to some politicians. Empowering people is usually not in the best interests of the government.
    In 13 years, I've learned that criminals don't look for fights, the look for victims.
    The cowardly criminal who cold-bloodedly shot the lady in the chest was never expecting her to fight back. He was betting, with very good odds, that he had found a victim.
    Even the odds.

      First, the level of criminality isn't really affected by the gun availability… This is determined by the economic and cultural situation.
      Second, what guns does is simply to aggravate the crimes by making them more lethal…

    • @symbolxchannel
      @symbolxchannel 9 ปีที่แล้ว

      Everfrost1000 There is obviously a problem there, but the solution is not to exacerbate the situation by adding more guns.

If it's the poverty, then create jobs… But adding more guns to a clearly uncontrolled nation?

The ruling in the class action lawsuit has apparently blown everyone's expectations out of the water. The lawsuit challenged Puerto Rico's gun laws, some of which the court ruled unconstitutional. As of now, it seems that no regulations are in place to stop anyone on the island from carrying a firearm, permit or not. In addition, the ruling abolished the territory's gun registry, as well as the need to obtain a permit to purchase a firearm.
