Article Claims U.S. Guns Fueling Mexican Cartels, Lacks Any Counter-Point

It is heating up again. Not the actual drug war in Mexico, we’re talking about the media noting that American guns are fueling it. This is heating up again, and we’re still concerned it could have a major fallout north of the border. Las Cruces Sun-News offered a completely one-sided story on American guns traveling to Mexico, but ignored recent reports of military-grade firepower.

Interestingly the article even mentions how AK-47s were the guns of choice by some gunrunners. It is never made clear whether these guns were obtained legally or illegally, but instead just implies that this is all about gun shows and straw buyers. What also isn’t being mentioned by the media is whether it is even Americans who are doing this illegal gun running.
