  1. I saw an interview with a cartel member and he said that the cartels are only as big as the government allow them to be. I think that's the sad truth, the higher up politicians are making big money on the cartels and they make sure they stay in business.

  2. Every problem in the world can be boiled down to a political Democrat vs Republican issue for some people. I am surprised you did not blame Trump for this one lol.

  3. not really, if it was then why don't we see Canadian cartels running rampant with American guns? It's a Mexican issue, their politicians are getting bought off by the cartel and let them operate. Just check the world corruption index and see how corrupt the Mexican government is.

  4. If this is an issue about American gun laws then why aren't there Canadian cartels going ballistic up there with American weaponry I mean they share the border too, right? Obviously the cartels growing powerful and dangerous is at the fault of the Mexico government allowing them to. Mexican corruption is one of the highest in the world and it's obvious high level politicians are having some of the cut from the cartels or else they'd be wiped out long ago.

  5.  @timdeathly  The problem is Mexico. The security at the Canadian border is even more lax than the Mexican - US border yet we don't see Canadian gangs building small armies with rocket launchers, armored vehicles with thousands of well armed gang members with heavy US weaponry. The Mexican government has allowed the Cartels to become powerful and rich, Mexico is one of the most corrupt countries in the world so it's not surprise that the cartels have became so powerful. Combine the massive amount of money these cartels are making with one of the most corrupt governments in the world and you can start to see how this problem started. I saw an interview with a cartel member and he said the government is the king and the cartels are only as powerful as the government allow them to be. I think he hit the nail with that one when you have so many high level politicians on the cartel's payroll there is little hope for change for the better.

  6.  @timdeathly  And why are not the Canadian gangs having them if they are so easily obtained?

  7. Mexican government need to stop the cartels from becoming so rich and powerful, look at Canada... why don't they have the same problem there? I am pretty sure it's easier to smuggle a gun from the US to Canada than it is to smuggle it from the US to Mexico. The cartel is only as powerful as the Mexican government allow them to be. Obviously a lot of politicians are on the cartel payroll.

  8. Because the Mexican government officials are on the cartel's Payroll.
