not to long ago I read that many of the arms in mexico have no markings at all...................from some one who has been there and seen first hand that almost everyone has a firearm down there. this would lead me to believe that there are covert arms manufactures all over S. america.
come on, there is huge money to be made and protected in the drug trade, These mexican cartel's have offered the cash or the bullit to all in positions of authority, they have to take the bribes or they will be eliminated. Simple really, drugs will never go away, and the drug trade will never go away. I think that the arms are mostly provided to the Mexican military and law enforcement by the US gov. and then sold to the cartells. Or bought by what ever means are availible to them, the whole world is an arms supplier. I believe that the whole "guns from the us are killing innocent mexicans" propaganda is just a smoke and mirrors diversion to gain support to errode the rights of US citizens. After all people who can't defend themselves are but sheep for the wolves. Just look at how well it worked for the jews in nazi germany..........................
