7. Texas Retailers Fuel Mexico’s Drug War
According to the Huffingting Post, in 2007 more than 1,100 guns found at Mexican cartel shooting scenes were traced back to Texas merchants, particularly those along the southern border region. In 2010, in the Mexican border town of Reynosa, federal police found 540 assault rifles, 165 grenades, tear gas launchers, sticks of dynamite, and over 500,000 rounds of ammunition. It was the largest seized weapons cache in Mexican history. It was later discovered that the majority of assault-rifles came from licensed Texas gun dealers – of the 383 guns that could be traced, 300 came from Texas.
