Several media sites are reporting that U.S. gun businesses and manufacturers are arming Mexican drug cartels south of the border. Yet the U.S. congress refuses to pass legislation to regulate the gun industry and the U.S. Supreme court continues to allow weak regulations concerning gun purchases and ownership.
In addition to the gun violence itself, the underground gun industry is helping cartels bring more drugs into the U.S., negatively affecting the American population.
