Arming and Funding Cartels | CBS Reports

“Drug cartels in Mexico have been terrorizing Americans for decades” - Also Americans: Biggest consumer of drugs and supplier of guns for cartels

Shouldn’t the US government be held accountable for any of this ?

The irony of the goverment selling them these things via the CIA whilst claiming drugs and guns are bad is outrageously funny.

"Most Americans don't know we're arming the Cartels?!" Really? Mexico has only one gun store, and it's neighbor, us(US), has thousands. Not that hard to connect the dots, is it?

If Prohibition taught us anything it's that as long as there's demand, there will always be supply. And as long as there are billions of profits to be made, there will always be suppliers.

I really like this journalist he’s not afraid to ask the real questions and press for the truth. That’s what we need right now in this field

What shocked me most is how powerful those guns are, blows through armor, a body, and then a walk.. wow..

I was a fentanyl addict on the streets from Florida to Cali for a few years. The government’s involvement in ALL of this goes too deep. I’ve been researching after my experiences and is truly dark and depressing. Some of the things I’ve seen I’ve feared for my life before. This needs to be talked about and looked into but PLEASE be careful.

First sentence "Drug cartels in Mexico have been terrorizing Americans for decades"?? What the heck is he talking about??? Because cartels do terrorize people but these are Mexicans in MEXICO... Drug cartels supply American consumers with their drug of preference... that's their actual relationship, a drug supplier to consumer.

Paying for a firearm online does not mean that you can take possession of it without a background check. That fact was conveniently left out. Here is how online firearm purchases work: 1. You find a firearm you wish to purchase, 2. You pay for it, 3. You choose to send it to a Federal Firearms License Dealer (commonly referred to as an FFL Dealer) - or - you go to the FFL that is selling the firearm, 4. The FFL runs a background check, 5. If you pass the background check, then and only then, can you take possession of the firearm. Do not be fooled by what the journalist tried to sell to you. The journalist implied that once you pay for it, it's your property and can be sent directly to your home - this is wildly false. You must still go through the same exact process as you would if you were in a brick and mortar store. Interestingly enough, certain parts can be directly mailed to you, but typically any receiver with a serial number MUST go through the FFL and background check process. There are some strange exceptions to this, but no one seems concerned about it: muzzle-loaders and black powder firearms are not regulated the same as smokeless powder firearms.

Cartels are a huge market. The gun industry doesn't want to miss out on that business

News Flash, The Cartel is operating in every state in the United States, and a multitude of Politicians are deeply involved. GL to us...

You can’t just order a gun online in the us. It has to be shipped from the supplier to federally licensed firearms deal where you undergo a federal background check before pickup

Maybe you do something about so many Americans feeling the need to seek drugs by improving life for everyone. You remove the demand and the problem dissolves.

Wow, just finished the first segment. It was real journalism. It is inspiring to see. A seemingly rare thing today.

I love how all Americans act so shocked 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The audacity to point the finger at people with weapons they got from you

As long as there is a demand their will always be a supply.

Excellent documentary, both insightful and inspirational.

Man, what a roller coster of feelings for being here right now watching this documentary while you in the beginning (in your 7° day). of this nasty, painful, hurtful, sadness, rough, miserable etc. Journery.
