Americans create demand for drugs
Did you know that gun laws in Mexico make it almost impossible to obtain a weapon from a retailer in Mexico? Do you know what country is supplying the arms to the cartels used to kill fellow drug dealers and the innocents? Yes, the good old USA is the main supplier of arms and ammo to these thugs, not to mention the United States supplies the cartels with the end users of the dope being moved.
So who is truly to blame for the escalation of violence and the insurgence of drugs from Mexico into the United States? Simply put, "We are!"
