The American Mind: American Guns Are Not to Blame for Mexico’s Cartel Problem
President Trump's agreement with Mexico includes a commitment to jointly address gun trafficking, with Mexico deploying 10,000 troops to the border. This arrangement has been criticized for reinforcing the narrative that U.S. gun sales are primarily responsible for Mexico's cartel violence and fentanyl crisis.
However, evidence suggests that the majority of weapons used by Mexican cartels are military-grade arms sourced from corrupt Mexican military stockpiles and other countries, rather than U.S. retail gun stores. The ongoing narrative may serve as a deflection from Mexico's own accountability in the crisis.
