The two year old Operation Island Heat has revealed massive gun smuggling involving the U.S. Postal Service (USPS)!

According to the Orlando Metropolitan Bureau of Investigation, and the Puerto Rico Special Investigations Bureau, a Florida restaurant owner was actually a drugs/guns runner, who smuggled cocaine into the U.S. from the U.S. territory of Puerto Rico, while at the same time smuggling guns into Puerto Rico, sometimes using the USPS!

It seems that in Puerto Rico you must be licensed to own a gun, even thought Puerto Rico is a part of the United States.

At this point cops have captured drugs and at least 30 guns that were sent through the mail.  24 arrest warrants have been issued in Florida.  Arrests have been made in Puerto Rico.  Obviously the existing anti-gun laws, which cover such activity, are not enough to stop the smuggling.

And don’t forget that the famous Kennedy family made their fortune smuggling alcohol back when the U.S. outlawed alcohol.
