My Lord this is difficult to read...

Additionally, recent allegation against the Jalisco New Generation Cartel indicate that 4 US Special Forces Soldiers, 1 Green Beret/Delta Force Operator, 2 US Navy Seals and a Ranger from 75th Ranger Regiment.

Indicate what? What did they do? I know second graders who could write better copy than this.

Shouldn’t be surprising given that there are a lot of retired special forces vets and there are always going to be a certain percentage of bad apples, some of whom were booted out early or later for that reason.

The local gun shop had a Barrett a while back. The price tag was over $11k.

The traffickers in Racine and two connected cells in other locations bought more than $600,000 of high-end military-style firearms in under a year

How many illicit Barretts will $600K buy? Not many.

Think about it. A Barrett M82 will cost ~$10K out the door.

How much resale premium is required to make it worth smuggling thousands of miles into Mexico?

At a delivered price of $50K each, that's 12 rifles.

Very poorly written article. Long sentences leaving a person wondering just exactly what was said. Must be some AI crap or written by some kid freshly pushed through journo school.

Reuters usually writes their propaganda so its an easy read, for those that can stomach it.

I’m surprised that at this point the cartels haven’t just purchased the tooling to start making their own weaponry outright.

Indicate that they did what - missing verb and object.

When Clinton thought he had banned “A-s-s-ault Rifles” the anti gun radicals did not shut the lights off and go home. Instead they looked for the next target to ban which happened to be the .50 cal rifle “THAT CAN BRING DOWN AN AIRLINER WITH ONE SHOT!” One reporter thought he had hit the jackpot when he saw dozens of muzzle loading rifles in .50 cal for sale in a gun store.
They once ONLY wanted to register, then ban handguns. “Rifles will not be affected!” they said. They lied.
I still remember pre-1968 when you could order an anti-tank rifle and ammo through the mails with no problems.

****4 US Special Forces Soldiers, 1 Green Beret/Delta Force Operator, 2 US Navy Seals and a Ranger from 75th Ranger Regiment****

Where are they mentioned? They weren’t in the article.
