And There is No New Thing Under the Sun

 Mariana uncovers a supply chain of American firearms being smuggled into the hands of drug cartels, fueling record levels of gun violence in Mexico. [More]

Gee, where have we seen the media hand-wringing over that before?

You can't watch it unless you tell them your "TV provider," and since I don't have one, it looks like I'll need to rely on your comments to find out if I missed anything.

WarOnGuns Correspondent "Bondmen," who sent me this link provided his review:

The iron road she calls it, meets with all the players here and in Mexico and ends with an ATFer in Phoenix who's about to retire. Makes a play on emotions at the end to solidify feelings against all the guns coming from America killing all the Mexicans, with their fingers on the trigger. Same problem we have in our inner cities in many respects, turf wars, revenge, and all too often, silence.

Proximate and ultimate causes abound. I focus on the dope user in America whose filthy lucre greases the wheel that turns day and night supplying the goods so strongly desired here by users; the greed of operators in Mexico who want to control it all so warring on others there who want the same. Guns are the tool. What would they use if they couldn't get the guns? Blades, bombs, ropes, compound bows - the work would be up front and close for sure.

The prices paid in Mexico for firearms is astounding. Saw only firearms and no ammunition change hands in her expose.

It made me think about the demoncraps in district of corruption who were so deathly afraid of a few unhinged rioters in the Capitol last week. Oh boy they haven't seen anything until they see how bad it is in Mexico with state actors and cartels going at it in spades. The state surrendered and now they admit Mexico is a Narco State. What does that make US now I wonder, besides a burgeoning one party Commie State?

The cartel enforcer - sicario - she talked to at the end who works for El Chapo's son - check out his eyes when he talks. Spooky, cold, cool killer there with many a notch in his young belt. These young guns have few economic opportunities that compare to working for local drug lords where they get great excitement and fast, heated action along with a feeling of belonging.
