  1. Mexico has two problems: the USA and the USA. It is US money that is paying for the illicit narcotics that are being smuggled north, and it is also US guns being smuggled south that helps the gangs survive. Dealing with one while ignoring the other will not work.

  2.  @jla1977  They are pretty much all American-made, yes. The USA is the easiest place in the world to get hold of guns. Lots of guns. The gun makers are well aware of the illicit traffic, but they turn a blind eye to it, because it’s good for business.

  6. Mexico has two problems: the USA and the USA. It is the USA that is the source of all this money funding the drug cartels. And it also the USA that is the source of all the guns they use to fight off law enforcement. Addressing just one side of the problem isn’t going to solve it. You need to fix both sides.

  7. Al Jazeera’s John Holman did an exposé on the gun-smuggling issue a few years ago. Search for “mexican cartel reveals ease of smuggling guns from US” to find the videos.
