One sentence stood out for editorial oversight:
The weapons favored by groups like the Zetas and the Gulf Cartel -- including an AK-47 knock-off known as the "cuerno de chivo" -- are high-power assault weapons which can fire up to one full round with each pull of the trigger
Because there are no legal requirements to report mass sales of ammunition, U.S. law enforcement agencies have little ability to identify and track suspicious purchases. This is basically the same problem facing agencies like the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) when it comes to breaking up gun trafficking networks.
