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

[justakidfromchicago]

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

[KushDragon]

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

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

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.

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.

[richardalexander]

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.

[luisanaya]

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

[Ern-clix]

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

I worked for an "Ozark" type company (didn't know it at the time). I know in detail how they operated. Cartel put their own guys to work in our US warehouse, in contract trucking from Juarez into US, and throughout. They use major companies to ship the freight. No one checks anything. You can get 1 truckload to Ohio within 1week from the border.

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.

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.

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

[jondoe]

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

[dustin]

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

[SabaDhutt]

"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?

[bertb]

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

[FranciscoRenteria]

Big pharma is also to be blamed for this crisis and yet not a single executive has been prosecuted. Big pharma acts under the FDA' s blessing(such a good profitable deal). American justice system is a two tier system. Even though this report is on Mexico I want to point Colombia which even with huge American presence(DEA, FBI, CIA, AMERICAN MILITARY BASES) Drug trade has grown exponentially since the 90's steadily and strong maybe I'm saying just maybe the problem lies on the American foreign policy

[AwokenEntertainment]

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

[bigcatloverelys]

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.
