The U.S. gun industry and the U.S. military industry must be bombed.
The U.S. says the U.S. has the right to bomb other countries to fight drugs.
Well, then, according to U.S. assertions, there is a right to bomb the U.S. in order to fight against gun crimes.
Even the U.S. admits that illegal gun smuggling from the U.S. is the root cause of violent crime.
That is why the U.S. launched a joint investigation with Mexico.
That is, the reason why Latin American mafias have guns is because the U.S. has been smuggling those guns.
The U.S. says that Mexico is a transit point for drugs.
If so, Mexico is a transit point for guns.
The U.S. military industry is the root of all evil.
The U.S. military industry must be destroyed.
Mexican authorities have claimed that at least half a million firearms are smuggled into Mexico from the United States each year.
Researchers have traced the beginnings of the rise of US guns in Mexico to the expiration of a US federal assault weapons ban in 2004, before which fewer than 90,000 firearms were estimated to be trafficked across the border each year.
For your information, the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force (Japanese Army) has 158,000 guns and rifles.

Caution)
158,000 guns and rifles for the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force is the amount of stock (accumulated total number).
The half a million firearms, which are smuggled into Mexico from the U.S., are the amount of flow (the number per year).
Maybe the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force buys 10,000-20,000 guns and rifles per year.

The Iron River: Flow of weapons across the US-Mexico border
Violent criminal organizations in Mexico are increasingly armed with firearms, including military-grade weaponry, from the United States. In Mexico, these guns have contributed to a significant rise in homicides over the past decade.

The Iron River
Illicit gun-smuggling from the United States to Mexico has increasingly armed organized criminal groups with firearms, including military grade firearms, in their highly lethal territorial disputes with each other and with government security forces.
Mexican authorities have claimed that at least half a million firearms are smuggled into Mexico from the United States each year.
The unrelenting pace and volume of this flow has earned it the name the “Iron River.”
The scale and impact of firearms trafficking into Mexico
While it is possible to legally obtain certain guns in Mexico, the process for ownership is highly regulated.
Prospective buyers must undergo background checks and submit a range of documentation, including confirmations of the absence of a criminal record.
There is also only one store in the country that legally sells firearms to private citizens, which is located on an army base in Mexico City.
To circumvent these restrictions, criminal actors have set up illicit pipelines to traffic guns into Mexico.
Gun smugglers are known to enlist US residents or citizens to purchase firearms from gun shops or gun shows, in what is known as a “straw” purchase, and then transfer them to a cartel representative.
Traces performed by the US Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) on guns recovered at Mexican crime have consistently shown that at least two-thirds are smuggled from the United States.
Moreover, about three-quarters of those guns originate in southwest border states, particularly Arizona and Texas, where they are brought into Mexico via trafficking pipelines to Sonora, Chihuahua, Nuevo León, Tamaulipas, and Guanajuato.
Firearms smuggling routes and legal challenges
Researchers have traced the beginnings of the rise of US guns in Mexico to the expiration of a US federal assault weapons ban in 2004, before which fewer than 90,000 firearms were estimated to be trafficked across the border each year.
A 2013 study determined that there was an immediate uptick in firearms homicides in Mexican municipalities close to the US border following the expiration of the ban,
The flow of US guns into Mexico has been associated with a substantial deterioration in peacefulness in the country over the past decade.
Since 2015, the Mexico Peace Index has recorded a 71.2 per cent increase in the firearms crime rate, as shown in the figure below. This increase has been primarily driven by a rise in homicides committed with a firearm, which now account for nearly 72 per cent of all homicides in Mexico.
In the past ten years, it is estimated that over 200,000 people have been killed with guns in the country
As a result of these dynamics, in 2021, the Mexican government filed a lawsuit in US court against several large US gun manufacturers.
The lawsuit argued that such companies were liable for facilitating the influx of weapons across the border, claiming that this movement had been a major contributor in Mexico ranking third in the world in gun-related deaths.
In addition to the massive human cost, the lawsuit argued that the firearms-related violence associated with this flood of guns had adversely impacted investment and economic development in Mexico.
In August 2024, a US judge dismissed the case against six of the eight companies named in the original lawsuit, citing a lack of proof that they had any involvement in facilitating weapons trafficking to cartels in Mexico.
In March 2025, oral arguments in the case were made before the US Supreme Court, which is only expected to hand down its decision in June 2025.

US, Mexico launch joint initiative to tackle cross-border gun trafficking
https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-mexico-launch-joint-initiative-tackle-cross-border-gun-trafficking-2025-09-28/
The United States and Mexico launched a new bilateral initiative aimed at disrupting the flow of illicit firearms across their shared border, the U.S. State Department said on Saturday.
The initiative also calls for deeper bilateral investigations, more prosecutions, and a ramp-up of U.S. inspections to stop the southbound smuggling of weapons — a key enabler of cartel violence in Mexico.

米国内の銃製造メーカーおよび米軍需産業を空爆すべきだ。
米国は、麻薬対策で他国を空爆する権利があるという。
では、米国の主張によると、拳銃対策で米国を空爆する権利がある。
米国からの違法な銃の密輸が凶悪犯罪の元凶であることは、米国ですら認めている。
だから、米国は、メキシコとの共同捜査に踏み切ったのだ。
つまり、中南米のマフィアが銃を持っているのは、それらの銃を米国が密輸しているせいだ。
メキシコは麻薬の通過点、と米国は言う。
だとするとメキシコは銃の通過点。
メキシコ当局は、毎年少なくとも50万丁の銃が米国からメキシコへと密輸されている、という。
メキシコにおける米国製銃器の増大の始まりは、2004年に「米国連邦政府アサルトウェポン禁止法US federal assault weapons ban」が失効したことだと、研究者たちは説明しており、それ以前には、毎年9万丁未満の銃が国境を超えて密輸されていたと推定されている。
ちなみに、陸上自衛隊日本の陸軍の装備する銃や小銃は、15万8000丁。
