You might be wondering why this information isn’t public already. Republicans passed a law to keep this information private. Yes, they’re protecting the identity of criminals selling guns to cartels.
Fucking vote
I’m voting to stop elites from disarming the proletariat
so Republican, got it.
Republicans passed a law to keep this information private.
They passed a law requiring the Mexican Government to keep it private? Fascinating…tell me more!
This is exactly what I expected to read. Latin gangs keep unaligned affiliates (mostly girlfriends) as straw buyers to pass background checks. I don’t see how its the sellers folault, seems like we just cant keep our migrant and gamg problem under control.
Which US weed smokers are behind cartel violence?
Didn’t we know this for years?
We’re a net-exporter of firearms to south of the border.
In effect, we’ve created a key component of the problem that inevitably feeds mass migration north to flee said crime and poverty.
Violence? Shouldn’t this be labeled as terrorism?
Drug Cartel violence can sometimes cross the line to terrorism, but usually isn’t classified that way. Terrorism is generally defined by targeted attacks against civilians in order to achieve political goals. Most drug cartel violence does not meet that definition.
Drug cartel violence is basically just gang violence. Violence for the sake of maintaining power.
I suppose “terrorism” is a more powerful word that evokes greater emotion from people, but we shouldn’t use it inappropriately or we risk separating the word from its own meaning.
I’d say their routine targeting of journalists, celebrities, kidnapping of school children fits that definition of terrorism.
