Filipino gunsmiths are making a killing

AFP , Danao, Philippines

Ronberto Garcia picks up a freshly-made, well-oiled automatic sub-machine gun from a formica table under a huge gazebo and screws on a long silencer.

"We sell these guns to anyone, provided they have money," Garcia says, proudly showing the weapon to a group gathered in his heavily secured concrete home.

The gun is his top-selling product and helps him make a killing, financially, in a nation where weapons sales are big business.

This man provides for his family by manufacturing firearms, nothing wrong with that.

His business has little to do with the healthcare in his country.

2. Uncle Sam don't like that shit.

He's supposed to be THE MAN to get guns from, not some filipino chicken-rancher. Since corporate profits is all this administration is about, they better watch their asses.
