“How Texas’s gun laws allow Mexican cartels to arm themselves to the teeth”

[archives]

“Saying he wants to make the US-Mexico border as safe as possible for his state, Texas’s governor Greg Abbott last month signed an order designating Mexican drug cartels as “terrorist organizations” and urged the Joe Biden White House to do the same.”

“But the same border that Abbott insists he wants to make safer is actually being destabilized by Texas’s lax gun laws, which the governor defends and which the Mexican cartels exploit to arm themselves – legally – to the teeth”

“Despite Mexico’s well-documented high levels of violence, legally purchasing guns there is actually quite difficult. The nation of nearly 130 million people has a single store that can legally sell guns.”

“Mexican foreign affairs estimates that a half-million guns annually are purchased legally in the US and then brought into Mexico illegally. About 70% of guns seized in Mexico and submitted for tracing had originally come from the US, according to officials with the American bureau of alcohol, tobacco, firearms and explosives (ATF).”

Ah the hypocrisy, now does this mean that Abbott recognizes the “freedom” of those cartels even though he calls them terrorists?
