Yes, it's even worse now. The place is awash with weapons and the AK47 is now becoming the preferred weapon for house burglaries. A woman has just been raped and killed near where I live by four men brandishing AK47s. A gang of twelve held up a shopping mall a week or so ago. It's like multiple Bonnie and Clyde on steroids.
