I would agree with that. I also don't believe the major cartels are frequenting guns shows for supplies.

I do believe that there is a vast number of petty, "normal" criminals, if you will, in Mexico who are not cartel connected nor have their money and influence. These people do source guns from the US on a not insignificant scale. These come from mostly illegal sources and are not bought legally at gun shows or anywhere else. Although I do not totally exclude the gun show route for a certain number of straw purchases. A gun shop right here on US 1 in the Falls area of Miami was shut down a couple of years ago after ATF agents convinced two sales clerks to sell them on a straw basis with the guns going to; you guessed it; Mexico.

I too believe that the liberal argument that criminals are sourcing primarily from Gun Shows or any other legal source is a bunch of politically motivated crap. I'm just pointing out that this IS where most of the guns in this hemisphere are and as such, this is where many lowlifes will come to get them.
Fair and balanced!
