Guys how often do you think the US sells guns to terrorists to try to gain some intel about them?

How often do they totally fuck that plan up?

At least once.

Doesn't quite fit that exact archetype, but the Iran-Contra Affair is sortof in that same genre.

Where else would they get them?

I know. We have too many guns and nobody can keep track of them to the point they end up with foreign paramilitary organizations. So let's build even more guns

The profits look the same no matter where they end up. 💵💵💵

I noticed the same thing..

Edit: I bet the 95% of cartels weapons are from the US not just "some".

I am fairly certain the day is coming when we find out that a U.S. arms manufacturer has a direct deal with Mexican cartels.

I wonder why a well-regulated militia is losing so many weapons.
