80% Of Cartel Weapons Comes From USA - Mexico's Defense Minister (Video) by WriterNig(op): 3:23pm On Feb 24

After the 🇲🇽 Mexican military killed drug cartel kingpin Nemesio Rubén Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho, officials detailed the weapons recovered in the firefights.

The stockpile included a rocket-propelled grenade launcher, 10 long arms, handguns, and grenades, officials said.

Mexico Defense Minister Ricardo Trevilla Trejo said that, as with other Mexican crime scenes, about 80% of the recovered weapons were bought in the United States and smuggled across the border. The details were shared in a Feb. 23 news conference, a day after the killing of El Mencho.

Gun ownership in Mexico is tightly restricted. There is only one military-run gun store in the country, in Mexico City, where weapons sales are strictly regulated. But easy access to guns in the United States has created an "iron river" of firearms flooding Mexico's black market.

"Our gun laws and gun industry practices fuel an iron river of firearms trafficking that supplies Mexican drug cartels and other criminal elements in the region,"
Democratic Sen. Dick Durbin from Illinois said in a news release in 2025, announcing a bill he hoped would rein in the gun smuggling.

US-made guns at Mexican crime scenes
Statistics from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives roughly back up Mexico's figures, that the vast majority of weapons in Mexico come from the United States.

Countries around the world ask the ATF to trace weapons found at their crime scenes. The ATF said 74% of the guns used in a crime were linked to a U.S. purchaser from 2017 to 2021.

Isolation or absolute unexistance of Usa and isreal is automatically world peace even in Nigeria.

Usa is causing international carnage worldwide and this is because they can print their dollars without limitation. Choke these people so the world can rest. Worshippers of Baal

International Bandits always well represented.
Over 90% of international conflicts have USA signature inside them.
Small time now, they will start tagging those they can't controlled 'terrorists".

You can buy guns easily in the USA. In fact there are more guns in the USA (in civilian hands) than you have in many countries armies.

It’s a plus for them though. They can easily defend themselves against foreign invasions.

🤣😂🤣😂

They can’t even account for the ones within their country and you talking of them knowing about the ones they sell outside when MONEY is involved.

NRA does not care who dies if profit is being made.

This is true…. And like most consumers, Mexican cartels needs those to facilitate their trade… win win for both countries
Re: 80% Of Cartel Weapons Comes From USA - Mexico's Defense Minister (Video) by Nwaikpe: 4:01pm On Feb 24
One strength of less developed countries is their tendency to blame others for their failures.

Your president is literally a cartel-imposed president, but you are trying to rope America into it.
Re: 80% Of Cartel Weapons Comes From USA - Mexico's Defense Minister (Video) by omoredia: 4:04pm On Feb 24
That is expected cos the cartel get it from agents within the corrupt Mexican govt. Just like how terrorists in Nigeria gets their weapons from the nigerian state. Thats why nigerian govt is always demanding for weapons to fight insurgency cos at the end of the day they just hand the same weapons to the terrorists

The US is a rogue country run by a con artist. It's the world's drug and gun capital. That's why it's a huge crime scene. Yet the Orangeman cons his people in believing that he is carrying out a house cleaning job through his ICE criminals who act like mafiosos. That's why poppy production fell steeply in Afghanistan after the invaders were humiliatingly booted out by the Taliban.

The Orangeman has been murdering boat riders off the Pacific ocean just to stress the point that he is cleaning the US society.
Re: 80% Of Cartel Weapons Comes From USA - Mexico's Defense Minister (Video) by omoredia: 4:06pm On Feb 24
This is misleading. Then ask urself who is the largest supplier of the Mexican govt the weapons for its defence. It is the corrupt Mexican govt that is giving the cartels the weapons
