But what Gov. Abbott seemed he had to mention they were illegal immigrants so that makes the murders okay in the minds of the MAGA folks.
State of Texas is the biggest supplier of AR-15 to allow the drug cartels to arm themselves because the sale of assault rifles in Mexico are banned. They are always recovered at Mexico crime seens. And are tracked back to Texas gun shops.
American gun laws are not only killing Americans there guns are purchased and killing Mexicans.
You realize the gun that killed five family members would be alive if they lived in Mexico because the shooter would not have been able to purchase the AR-15 unless he hopped across the border in Texas for the day he could have picked up an AR-15 no problem
Now the drug cartels are almost 100% supported by American drug addicts. Imagine that Mexico cartels would dry up if not for Americans, they would not have the arms they need if not for America.
Mexicans want to come to America because of the Cartels.
Can you imagine the crime that would be eliminated if we could educate our people on drug use and some common sense gun laws. Crime in Mexico would go down and crime in this country would cut by 40%.
Maybe Mexico should build a wall
And make Texas pay for it.

https://www.foxnews.com/world/mexico-guns-black-market-tepitoAccording to Thomas Kilbride, a retired Department of Homeland Security agent and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy adviser, the general assumption has been that the guns got to Mexico from the U.S. predominantly by straw buyers working on behalf of gun-trafficking organizations – meaning the gun was bought illegally by someone on behalf of someone else, or from a private seller without a federal license.
“The parts are vastly hidden in vehicles in many pieces then reassembled in Mexico,” he noted.
Also, they’re routinely disguised inside other items such as goods and electronics.
The common estimation among officials has been that some 90 percent of guns in Mexico stemmed from the U.S., but such a figure would be ripe for dispute.
“I wouldn’t say that the number is that high. I would say that maybe it will be around 50 percent. The known modus operandi of weapons and money, for drugs, does happen as a transaction. But also, knowing some of the weapon systems available here in Mexico,” Oughton said, “it would suggest that they would be illegally manufactured here, and also [found] their way from other parts of Latin America, Eastern Europe... Russia and China. For me, it’s an impossibility and maybe a bit of political wrangling to lay the full blame at the USA’s door for supply and demand on guns.”
Other high-ranking officials also underscored that the majority of guns these days have been flowing not from the United States, but from the south.
“Most cartels buy in bulk, and the weapons are coming from places like Nicaragua and other South American countries. Also Asia and some from the Middle East,” a Tijuana-based police authority who requested anonymity explained. “And, another factor is the CNC machines making uppers in clandestine shops in Mexico.”
According to recent Fortress intelligence assessments, an increase in surveillance on Mexico’s northern border has meant criminal groups have had to open new arms-trafficking routes from Central America to the center of Mexico, especially into Tepito – making it the largest underground weapons distribution center in the country.
Studies have indicated weapons have been moving increasingly from Colombia, Spain, and Pakistan – in addition to the United States – to be resold in the Tepito underground.
Mexico itself has had some of the most stringent gun-control measures in the broader region, which has largely fueled the sentiment in recent years that gun violence was a result of the United States’ Second Amendment and lax gun laws by comparison. Even though the right to bear arms has been protected by the Mexican Constitution, obtaining a weapon would be a difficult grind for the average person. The entire country has just one legal gun store, known as the Directorate of Arms and Munitions Sales, which is located in Mexico City and operated by the military.
Anything more potent than a .38 caliber gun is prohibited, and customers must endure upwards of a six-month wait in their applications for permits as they undergo background checks. Those purchasing for “personal defense” would be allowed to own just one handgun. People in hunting clubs would be granted leeway to possess additional rifles. In all, fewer than 40 weapons are issued per day on average.
As a deterrent, illegal possession of a firearm, even small amounts of ammunition, could result in lengthy prison sentences.
Still, gun violence has continued to grip the country.
For some critics, it’s an explicit example of tight gun-control policies failing their citizens as homicide rates rose – up 3.3 percent in the first eight months of 2019 compared to 2018 – while law-abiding citizens have been left to recoil in the face of illegal gun owners. Over 33,000 people were murdered in Mexico last year alone.
“Mexico is a horrifying example of what can happen to a people who are disarmed and left helpless to be preyed upon by armed criminals,” added Frank Miniter, the editor in chief of the NRA’s magazine America’s 1st Freedom. “Some Mexican citizens have tried, desperately and as a last resort, to band together with whatever weapons they can gather to protect themselves.”
