It isn’t just Mexico, basically the entire hemisphere suffers from gun crime because of the US’s permissive gun laws.

including a rocket launcher, grenades and mortar rounds
Ok so none of those are legal for civilians in the US to own. Either they were stolen by a military guy with the ability to pull that off, or they were sold like Operation Fast and Furious or the other ATF gunwalking scandals, or corrupt Mexican military officials as previously has happened, or from Asia as previous reports have mentioned specifically South Korean manufactured grenades. Or some Iran Contra ass shit is going on, which IMO is most likely.
ARs, sure. AKs, sure. The sole Barrett mentioned, absolutely. But grenades and shit aren’t “because 'merica gun laws permissive.” But then again those guns are bought by people who on paper have the right to buy them, citizens without a record yadda yadda, they just illegally sell them to the cartel (straw purchasers) and haven’t been caught by ATF because ATF is too busy giving problems to regular civilians and FFLs. The ATF should get to fucking work on that tbh. 'Nother problem though is you know all that would happen is racial profiling people of Mexican descent making it harder for them to buy guns, not actual police work that’s too hard.
