I had a buddy that was living in Costa Rica and smuggling blue jeans into Nicaragua. He married a Nicaraguan girl and settled in Managua. He told me he bought AKs from the police department there and said you could buy anything you wanted. This was in the 90s so I don’t know about now.

It has been reported that corrupt elements in the Mexican military sell weapons. In addition, weapons are readily available in jungle areas of Columbia where drugs are produced. Those areas were formerly under the control of FARC, a communist inspired group of fighters. It has been reported that they supply weapons along with drugs.

In one instance grenades from South Korea were seized from cartel members. See the set of images and text here

Any organization that can produce, ship, and sell billions of dollars worth of illegal drugs can just as well purchase, ship, and distribute firearms. They are already doing so for their own purposes.

There is speculation that the cartels have basically "purchased" the border zone from Mexican and Democrat politicians.

They are ruling the zone like a government.

That would explain the eagerness of American Democrat politicans to look the other way.

This might provide you with some good information to use as a rebuttal.

“as well as the assertion that 80% of Mexican shootings are done by drug cartels with guns bought in the US.”

Assuming that’s accurate, tell him he should support President Trump’s border security measures to help prevent illegals and cartel members from crossing the border and illegally obtaining the weapons. Then ask if he’ll feel any better when the cartels simply turn to the black market and buy AK47s, while ordinary Mexican citizens are still banned from owning weapons.

Both the U.S. and Russia have sold arms to various central and south american governments over the years, governments that are basically owned by the drug cartels. The cartels are worth billions, when you have that kind of money you can buy whatever you want. Mexico’s supposedly strict gun control laws sure aren’t stopping them, those laws only apply to the peasants.

The cartels aren’t coming to the U.S. to buy guns, they’ve got access to much better stuff at home.
