    ... yeah, right.

    Great article for those who can access WSJ.

    A few key points:
    Gun ownership is almost impossible (legally) in Mexico. Only one gunstore (govt. owned) where you stand a tiny chance of being able to purchase a .22 rifle.

    Mexico blames US for its illegal guns. Wrong. Full autos are hard to come by in the US. Plus, as I had mentioned in another thread a while back, cartels want to buy in bulk. That does not work with straw man purchases. Most cartels buy in bulk, and the weapons are coming from places like Nicaragua and other South American countries. Also Asia and some from the Middle East according to one source.

    Live grenades can't be bought by individuals in the US either.

    For 2019, Mexico had 25,890 murders—about six times as many murders per 100,000 as in the U.S.

    Not entirely. The US government did a fine job of ensuring weapons were furnished to Mexico during Fast and Furious.

    Entirely by design.....if you remember, both AG Holder and SOS Clinton were giving speeches during these then secret actions about how our gun freedoms were responsible for all the gun deaths in Mexico and hence needed to be changed. F&F and Operation Gunrunner were nothing but red herrings put into effect by the feds to increase gun violence in another country, to then be pointed out by politicians as a basis for restricting our freedom in the US. Nothing more.

    Thankfully it backfired once exposed except for all the people they ended up getting killed, including at least one US border agent.

    Wonder if they'll ever face at least accessory to murder charges? Lmao.....
