Mexican cartels use the Galil ACE, an Israeli rifle that is manufactured in Colombia

'They kill you, they kidnap you, they rape you': Trafficking victims speak of the dangers they face
“No woman should go through what I went through, no girl or adolescent,” a teen who was able to escape her situation said, speaking from a shelter in Mexico.

For the Mexican cartels, the younger, the better.

All countries would have to legalize all drugs to significantly weaken the cartels, "... reducing consumption in the United States, it would have only a limited adverse impact on trafficking organizations. There is more than enough demand globally to attract and sustain traffickers who are willing to take the risks to satisfy that demand. "

"In the absence of these crucial factors, legalization will merely allow criminals to operate in a newly legal economy, often with the same violent practices as they practiced in the illegal space."

"Creating legal jobs on a sufficient scale should be a critical element of most strategies for dealing with drug economies; though it is not relevant in some cases, such as in cracking down on fentanyl trafficking from China. "

"it is now more common for sicarios, or hitmen, to use the Galil ACE, an Israeli rifle that is manufactured in Colombia. The Galil ACE is an official weapon for Mexican and Colombian law enforcement."

Legalizing all drugs would piss off the cartels, who knows what they'll do for revenge. So, does someone have a better idea?

A recent report by the International Commission Against Impunity in Guatemala (CICIG) details at least 45 points between Mexico and Guatemala used by arms traffickers to smuggle weapons northward, most of them over land or by sea.

The report states that most of these firearms belonged to militaries or police forces before they were sold or smuggled onto the black market.
