Humor aside, all here should know from previous discussion that the cartels don’t have to “Buy” heavy weapons.
They simply grab the families of the local LE/Mil. base and demand they turn over the arsenal or their families will be slaughtered.
This has happened several times.
They may also obtain weapons from other So. American countries on the black market.
An organization that can move tons of drugs with near impunity has no issue importing guns.
The one place they are NOT getting them is the USA!
As to the scum they released, I feel they should have just executed him, or at least wounded him in a manner to require IMMEDIATE emergency medical care.
A shot to the groin would do it.
Extra-Judicial?
Probably, but if the cartel is deploying BMG’s I would say it’s clearly a war and the common rules do not apply to such terrorist.
Also time to return to poisoning the drug crops by air.
And probably time to go back to prosecuting the buyers as well as the distributors.
I don’t care if Holly-wierd parties become mundane and boring.
Drug users/”Victims” are funding the narco-states, and a large share of the U.S. invasion.
This is the best example of the catastrophic result of gun control. The government prohibits the law abiding citizens from having guns on the premise that they will provide protection to them. Armed lawbreakers threaten the safety of the law abiding citizens but the government refuses to protect them because doing so may result in harm to those innocent citizens they disarmed.
If the honest Mexican citizens were armed, there would be dead cartel members in the streets and an honest government in Mexico City. The Mexican government doesn’t fear the criminals, they fear the honest people.
Plenty of people know which mansions (and yachts and businesses) in Mexico are owned by cartel members. A different solution might involve a concerted effort by a multinational group to target and eliminate large numbers of cartel properties during the early morning hours on a designated day. 4 or 5 nations, each targeting dozens of locations, could simultaneously cripple multiple different cartels in Mexico. Other nations could do the same in Colombia and elsewhere.
Imagine waking up one morning to see the news that many hundreds or thousands of cartel members were reduced to moist chunks of goo overnight.
Collateral damage to their family members would ultimately be less than the damage done to innocent victims by the cartels if they’re allowed to continue with business as usual.
Because most legalizing states have overtaxed it. End federal MJ laws, and interstate competition will bring the price of the legal product down.
bring the price of the legal product down
—
The cartels will still undercut legal products even at a loss because the money is in Fentanyl now and that will finance the loss - if any.

President Andrés Manuel López Obrador explained Friday that he is getting paid a lot of bribe money so there!
“A different solution might involve a concerted effort by a multinational group to target and eliminate large numbers of cartel properties”
That’s what I’ve always thought would be a way to handle cartels. Get the Israeli Special Forces involved and a few other select groups to go against the cartels.
The cartels are terrorizing the entire country of Mexico, murdering innocent people, chopping up family members of those who would go against them. They are a mini-Hitler with the amount of innocent blood they’ve shed in the past 50 years. Why not stop the cartels just as the allies stopped Hitler?
Why would they do that?
because the money is in Fentanyl now
The headlines are in Fentanyl now - I've seen no evidence that the money is.
a $25,000 investment in making Fentanyl equals a $250,000 return
