    That’s why Mexico is suing Arizona, and maybe Texas? Cali has strict gun laws so the cartels can’t get guns here. They have no issues getting guns in AZ and TX

      Yeah, that’s basically the legal theory of the suits. It’s pretty novel and there are a lot of issues with it.

      Big part of the modern drug trade is fueled by arms sales passing South as collateral.

      US arms exports are paid for with Latin American drug money. And those arms help gangs engage in the human trafficking they need to produce recreational narcotics and amphetamines at industrial scale.

        Wait are you implying that regulating fire arms in USA would help to deal with human traffic and drugs from mexico?

        I mean it makes sense, but doesn’t certain people hate mexicans and like guns a bit too much? Are they using their brains at all?

          More describing the economic incentives of the opposition.

          On paper, sure. But in practice the folks profiting from the exchange can just blame the drugs and the crime on stupid weak leftists in government to deflect blame from the arms trafficking.

          Are they using their brains at all?

          Garbage in, garbage out. If all your information comes from gun-sponsored sources, you’ll end up with gun-sponsored views.
