Massive amount of respect to Ed Calderon and others who speak on here about drug crime in particular, especially when calling out law enforcements and governments for their corruption. These people have been in that trade and know and are known by others presumably still working it, so the threat to their lives must still be very real, so this is a level of bravery above and beyond what most of the rest of us will ever encounter.

There is one story that sticks with me , I knew this guy from El Salvador in the Army, he was in the Army after moving to the US in his mid teens with is family, his father had been a federal officer, his father was third generation . One day he came across an attempted bribe and had to quit that day as his son told it, the problem is this, you do not go looking for the cartel bribe it is just made , in this case not even in person, you have the choice take the money and they own you, do not take the money and now you are threat. I can not imagine the nightmare of trying to be a good cop south of the border.

Edit to add; The ATF pressured FFL (licensed Federal Firearm dealers) to make sales to young women that had no idea what they were buying. I talked to one female that had just been convicted of buying 3 .50 caliber rifles to give to her boyfriend to "walk" them across the border. The FFL refused sales and was threatened by our agents to make the sales anyway or face retribution. She was sentenced to three years and she stated that he got eleven years. So it was more than just watching purchases being made and following the smuggler. Just like the FBI/CIA put pressure on Twitter to censor news stories. There is corruption on both sides of the border and in our foreign terrorist task groups that influenced FB, Twitter, KZitem, and others to ban questions about certain politicians' electronics.

This will give credence to Ed's story. I live 90 miles from the border. Years ago, my brother had a friend that did gunsmithing as a side hustle. One day, I went with my brother to his friends house, where I met a 'friend' of my brothers friend. This 'friend', as I found out later, had 'commissioned' my brothers friend to build 6 AR platform rifles, giving him a large amount of money as a deposit. I'm not the smartest person, but I figured out real quick what this guy was about and where the finished rifles were going to go. I wanted no part of this guy and couldn't put enough distance between myself and this 'friend', whom, thankfully, I never saw again. As a side note, my previous job was in a service industry that had me going into people's homes. I've seen firsthand on at least three occasions, evidence of people smuggling in the homes, one actually had two ladies in these 'hidey' spots (I walked in on them watching T.V. in this 'hidey' spot, believing it was some sort of storage room, just not for storing people). If you think for a second the U.S. government isn't complicit in this, you're a fool as it became a case of "nothing to see here" as a result of reporting it.

Biden never repealed it. There's youtube videos on this subject. They never used to be that tight with the FMM but now when buses go through checkpoints and if you don't have your FMM or it's expired they take you to jail. Figure in the fact that mexican jails are for profit as well, they make like $10 a head per night for every inmate, you can languish in those cells for quite some time. One german travel youtuber spent a month in a mexican jail because his FMM was expired and he thought it was 'no big deal'. Essentially if you're not going any further south than Rosarito you'll be fine, but if you're on the toll roads and your paper work is checked you'd better make sure your FMM is in order. As for having your bag checked, Mexico is what is left of one of the great ancient civilizations and despite it's troubles is still one of the great countries in the world. If they don't want people crossing with weapons that's their prerogative. And Mexico being sticky about the FMM is from pressure from the north.

Thank you sir for your service. When I was teenager I wanted to be an agent (DEA or ATF). After some college experiences with the legal system I realized very quickly that corruption was a thing. I decided it wasn't worth risking my life trying to do what's right (the law) and have to battle my own government and the people we claim to be going after. Thank you for staying legit and sharing the truth about law enforcement.

13:19 this video censored out the "America has some responsibility but..." perhaps because the message didn't match what they wanted to say-- very disappointing. He was about to tell a counterpoint on US responibility. Really these kind of videos should have a rule to show all sides of an argument so the audience can understand the expert opinion being interviewed.

I thought you cant buy guns at any store/gun show in the US if you are from out of state. Dont they still do background checks over the phone. I dont see how a fake ID helps. Plus arent a lot of purchases registered. Therefore if gun is used in crime by someone who is not suppose to have, the original purchaser can be traced, and questioned how gun ended up in criminal hands.

I can guarantee those full-auto AK's and M&P only Dbals or PEQ-15's didn't come from a US dealer. I think they are using security front and the military much more than being acknowledged.

Where do the cartels get the M-60s and RPG-7s? Some may come from El Salvador and Nicaragua or stolen military stores. If they can bring in amphetamine precursors and fentanyl tablets, why don't they bring them in from China? I recall the .38 super was popular in the 1911 platform, why did your country ban its citizens from being able to protect themselves?
