The Obligatory Report About Lebanese Households Buying More Arms

October 5, 2010 · Mustapha Hamoui

Supply and demand:

M4, M16 and K47 rifles are among the most popular firearms entering Lebanon […] Today, prices are going up where the M4 with a launcher was being sold for $12,000 an M16 [for] $1,500 and the Kalashnikov [for] between $750 and $1,000,” said the dealer.

I could almost swear I read the same report every time political tension rose in Lebanon.
