Report: US weapons enrich cartels' power (7:30 am)
Mexican drug cartels are having no trouble stocking up on military-grade weapons trafficked illegally from the United States to continue waging their bloody turf battles, according to a recent congressional report titled "Outgunned."The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is investigating arms trafficking in the wake of revelations that the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Fast and Furious" operation resulted in the slaying of U.S. Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry in Arizona.
Operation Fast and Furious would allow a person to buy a weapon on behalf of someone who could not and then trace where the weapon went, but many weapons were lost during tracking and wound up in the hands of organized criminals to kill or kidnap people. Two of those weapons were found at the scene of Terry's slaying.
"This is an issue of particular concern to me and my constituents who have witnessed, and in many circumstances been directly impacted by, the incessant violence in our sister-city Ciudad Juárez," said U.S. Rep. Silvestre Reyes, D-Texas. He went to Mexico on June 24-25 to speak with Mexican and U.S. officials about what can be done to stem the flow of arms into Mexico.
"As the owner of multiple firearms myself, I value my Second Amendment rights, but we must strike a balance between the need to respect gun ownership rights and the need for sensible measures to meet the current security challenges confronting the United States and Mexico," said Reyes, a former Border Patrol chief.
Rep. Elijah E. Cummings, the House committee's ranking member, convened a forum Thursday in Washington, D.C., to continue gathering information on the issue.
According to Cummings' committee's "Outgunned" report, Immigration and Customs Enforcement Agent Jaime Zapata was murdered Feb. 15 in Mexico, allegedly with a Romarm-Cugir Draco weapon that was traced back to a dealer in Texas.
The weapon "has the same firing capacity as the AK-47, can hold a 75-round drum magazine, and can penetrate protective vests," the report said.
Closer to El Paso, several officials of Columbus, N.M., including the former mayor, a village trustee and the former police chief, and a firearms dealer in Chaparral, N.M., are accused of illegally providing or facilitating the smuggling of weapons to people in Mexico.
According to court records, weapons trafficked by the suspects in the New Mexico case were found at crime scenes in Juárez and in Palomas, Chihuahua.
