    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.
