The US sends guns to maim and kill people in Mexico and Mexico sends fent to harm US citizens. Both parties motivated by greed with no empathy or concern for whom their products harm. Very sad
ReplyDeleteThat is exactly what "they" want you to think. It really boils down to each one of ALL of US
Delete9:25 the US refuses to control their weapons merchants because of their "camapign contributions".
Delete--the mexican government does not sponsor, benefit or tolerates drug trafficking.
9:25 Well said. It’s nice to see comments with a wider perspective that understand the corrupción and greed on both sides of the border and beyond!
DeleteChina is the main source not Mexico, Mexico is just the middleman
Delete9:25 Mexico dont have unregulated legal companies supplying fent.... different scenario with weapons... Poor comparative boy.
Delete12:42 the sale of one product(firearms) is legal in both countries while the other product (illegal narcotics) is not mijo
DeleteIf stupid mexicans wants to butcher each other like savages dont blame the usa. Cartel guns come from other places incuding the mexican army which sells 30% of their weapons to cartels. And ak 47 are not built in usa dumbass
Delete12:56 Legal, but unregulated. You can legally buy an arsenal, and thats a problem, that EASY access to weapons for cartels and crazy people.
DeleteIt is harder to get tobacco than weapons and bullets. No sea menso mijo, pongase las pilas.
Although a firearm purchase in Mexico is “technically” legal with the proper paperwork and endorsements this comes with many restrictions. Mexico has extremely restrictive laws regarding gun possession. There are only two stores in the entire country, DCAM near the capital, and OTCA, in Apodaca, Nuevo León.
DeleteIn 1971, Article 10 of the present Constitution was changed[11] to limit the right to keep arms within the home only (in Spanish: ...derecho a poseer armas en su domicilio...) and reserved the right to bear arms outside the home only to those explicitly authorized by law (i.e. police, military, armed security officers). The following year, the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives came into force[12] and gave the federal government complete jurisdiction and control to the legal proliferation of firearms in the country; at the same time, heavily limiting and restricting the legal access to firearms by civilians.
As a result of the changes to Article 10 of the Mexican Constitution and the enactment of the Federal Law of Firearms and Explosives, openly carrying a firearm or carrying a concealed weapon in public is virtually forbidden to private citizens, unless explicitly authorized by the Secretariat of National Defense (SEDENA). For purposes of personal protection, firearms are only permitted within the place of residence and of the type and caliber permitted by law.
Illegal sales of weapons is illegal on both the US and México, but the US government bought by NRA makes it easy for their weapons dealers to get away with shit, they even know where the money buying their wares come from, Not from car washing for sure...
Delete1:45 pm almost all guns come from the US you idiot! It’s been confirmed and if you think those AKs are coming from Russia then I got a bridge to sell you dumbass
Delete9:31 Almost all?, that would be like 99.99%
Delete7:55 Thats why 99% of gun owners got it from black market. If you really need to carry, just carry. Most people I know have a gun in Mexico.
Delete1:45 Stupid Americans are already killing each other for unknown reasons, don’t blame cartels.
DeleteCartel guns come mostly from American unregulated market, with mostly im meaning like 99.99%...
AK’s are manufactured in USA too. And M16 is more popular than cuerno de chivo now days.
Update it kid.
SIR why the federal government restrict firearms in México?
Delete12:18 que te valga verga güey!!!
DeleteBut not having NRA buying mexican politrickos helps...
Can't you explain to the guy why mexico restricts weapons Not give him a Naco answer like oye.guey.por.eso.esta.la.raza.como.esta.on both sides of the border
DeleteAfter winning the war, the arab tribes lost their kingdom to the arab villains with the most weapons shooting it up in the tent, armed people resort to armed violence rather than to reasoning, and US politicians know it, but most are blinded by political contributions and get paid to invent excuses and justify the corruption of the 2nd amendment mandate of "well regulated militia", restricting weapon ownership is a public health issue, specially assault weapons that have helped murder so many adults and children on the US where NRA has made so much progress in corrupting the rotten apple barrel with help of Putin"s millions of dollars and his puppet spy Mariia Putina who recruited so many people and Mike Flynn putin's friend and green party "candidate" that siphon votes away from hillary to help the donal'.
DeleteThe barrel of rotten apples has been getting financing since the founding of the Tea Party and the election of Newt Gingrich to speaker of the House.
12:18 They have a real regulation in Mexico, which is different.
Delete@ 9:25 “the mexican government does not sponsor, benefit or tolerates drug trafficking” —> yea right!!!! Do you not read the posts on this blog!?!? Every politician has their hand in the honeypot, and that corruption is what allows cartels to operate with impunity.

DeleteIt’s the economic trade on both sides. Money for lives..
DeleteThis was an eye opening article. It seems if run properly this would be a brilliant way to transport most anything. Shaking head at how drugs and illegal contraband can infiltrate most anywhere. Like cockroaches.
ReplyDeleteIt's been happening via Uber for years.
Delete"Ye" trafficking on Ubers across the borders...
Deletevery smart and efficient, order with your Pizza slices.
How many will die of drugs brought in from Mexico illegally?
ReplyDeleteThanks ALMO, for letting the cartels run rampant.
How many will die of guns and ammo brought in from Texas, New Mexico and Arizona illegally?
DeleteThanks US, for enriching the cartels while enriching yourself with illegal gun and ammo sales.
Oh shut the fuck up with blame game. Those American government motherfuckers could give a rats ass as long as they get their cut. Keep trucking, pendejo.
Delete9:45 Awww, little kid blames AMLO :(
DeleteAMLO has tanked the Mexican airline industry although he promised to fix it. He's done nothing to deter the cartels and crime runs rampant.
Delete10:26 but, but, but it's straw hat buyer's that bring guns to Mexico and sell for 3 times it's price. Yet the Mexican checkpoints to enter Mexico Don't bother to check contraband coming into Mexico.
Delete7:33; Actually if you had the sack to go to Mexico and back you would know that Mexico searches far more vehicles coming in than the US does.
DeleteDo yourself a favor and educate yourself b/f blowing hot air.
6:35 seràs pendejo güey!
DeleteAMLO did not lead Mexicana de Aviación to Bankruptcy or sold it for one dollar, no pinchis mames with your Big Mouth.
9:03 y entonces como es que hay tantas armas de USA en México si hacen tantas revisiones los aduanales? Más que USA dices? Y más efectivas también verdad? Jajajaja
Delete11:00 Por que trata de contrabando y los contrabandistas evitan dichas revisiones. Te caiste de chiquito.
Delete3:47 evitan las 100 mil revisiones aduanales que dices que existen en la frontera Norte? Jajaja pues que pendejos están los del gobierno y que chingones son los mañosos al pasar tantas armas de contrabando por el puto monte, rio, alto mar y los aires! 💩🧠🤖
Delete3:47 was dropped into a toilet, mom was exhausted and forgot to flush...
Delete1:45 Es una revision, en ocasiones dos. Se nota que no conoces los cruces fronterizos campeon.
DeleteIf drugs was legal,they could buy a regulated product.More chances it will be safe.
ReplyDeleteNovel idea- thanks!!
DeleteIt’s very simple. Republicans take money from the gun lobbyists, Mexican politicians take money from the cartels and here we are. It’s ok.
ReplyDelete12:54 Americans take the $, mexicans take the threats against their families. Update it boy.
DeleteFucking republicans talk shit about how crime is getting worse but tell them the usa needs more gun control and they say fuck that.
Delete1:47 Same double standard / inconsistency with immigrants... they are hated and blamed, but still hired on spot with no other complication than showing up to work.
Delete@1:47
DeleteIt's still a human issue. Guns can't kill anyone, unless being fired by a person. Until people stop killing other people for stupid reasons, nothing will change. People who risk lives for material gain are the root problem. I have no issue with immigrants who enter this country legally.
1:53 Guns make it incredibly easier and faster to kill people. And if one of the main income from those BIG companies are cartels... well... Policies and lack of regulation are the seed for that. And immigration had been a problem for decades.... illegal labor is MUCH cheaper than legal labor, so... building walls to stop them but hiring them on spot sounds contradictory and stupid. Canada is a good example, no need to build fences.
Delete3:45 the US DoD gave trump 5 billion dollars to build "the Wall"
DeleteAnd trump stole the money as he steals every penny he sees, that has been the trump family policy since they became Corporate Welfare Queens defrauding the US government with their corrupted rotten contracts... No new wall was made by tromp or his minions.
When Republicans gathered for their Congress House win,instead of immigration reform and a plan for the nation,they talked about Hunter Biden's laptop.Moronic Frauds.
Deletewall = useless waste of $
DeletePhoenix is runs 100% by Mexican crime groups
ReplyDelete2:15 At the end, mostly nothing but american citizens with hispanic last names.
DeleteCorrect. Phoenix is run by the Olson crime family from Puerto Penasco, Sonora.
Delete7:33 does that include jaime, superman's valet?
DeleteCDs Salazar's and Paredes and Caborca the biggest here probably but everyone working here
DeleteYes CDS controls AZ, but americans, white groups, black groups, Mexican Mafia,, Chicanos, Canadians, Hells Angels bikers, Mongols, Chinese, Russians, list goes on and on. Lot of white guys moving multi kilo loads.
DeleteRepublicans controlled Arizona yet they did nothing to fix the cartel problem. All they do is blame democrats for it.
DeleteBuy drugs from a stranger in an Uber, and end up dead. Who woulda thought.. Damn these wanna be junkies are so stupid!
ReplyDeleteBlame who you want, but it It all boils down to choice, the right one or the wrong one. Freewill is a double edged sword.
ReplyDeleteI'm a compatibilist...
DeleteWeird… I keep “choosing” for drugs to be legal and regulated in my mind, and yet nothing’s happening.
DeleteLike Gus Fring said, "you cannot truat a drug addict.".
ReplyDeleteRepublicans don't want gun control because they are bought and paid for by the NRA and Lopez obrador by the cartels he wants hugs and hopefully the new president will send everyone to the US to do Real time at supermax
DeleteExcept she’s not a drug addict. And to be quite frank… even Jesse Pinkman merely had a habit but was never a true addict.
Delete6:19 Lopez Obrador paid by cartels?, Where did you got that?
DeleteA) Netflix
B) You firmly believe
C) You think so
D) All of above
10:29
DeleteWe got it from your mom.
Let the people make their comment.
Stop intervening, ALMO lawyer.

ReplyDeleteU.S goverment is who dictates the flow or Narcotics. Many drug addicts are worth more to states while in Prison that being clean and out working a minimum paying job. U.S Prison supposably gives each state $40.000 per inmate annually. In Retunr the inmate only gets education and job training at the end of their sentence. Giving those opportunities for inmate close to going home is that inmate was out . Working he wouldn't make $40.000 . It's all about Money . Feds keeps your goods and pays the state for your incarceration win win . Mexican cartel Bosses kill thousands in Mexico get extraditaed to U.S then testify and walk free under the witness protection program . Blame the U.S Goverment
