Sounds like the US government is supplying weapons to the cartels. That's some narco-terrorist level shit, right there. Could someone please come and kidnap the President, and whisk him off to face trial? Or would that be illegal?

American companies supply the arms and a lot of the drugs too.

Mexico should start a war on guns and start randomly raiding the US' weapons manufacturers. I would support it.

I don't understand. Why would they come from anywhere else? We make and sell A LOT of guns. Go to a gun show and if you walk out with forty guns by the timethe show is done, nobody will bat an eye.

Better go to a street corner and protest and then not vote.

Mexico only has one gun store.. It's on an army base, heavily guarded and it takes months of background investigation to be approved to go there and buy a gun.
