Mexican officials are scrambling to defend themselves after Peter Schweizer’s explosive new book, *The Invisible Coup*, drops a bombshell on the cartels’ unchecked flow of U.S.-sourced firearms into their bloody turf wars. Schweizer’s meticulous reporting—drawing from declassified docs, insider interviews, and cartel ledgers—exposes how American guns, legally purchased under our Second Amendment protections, end up fueling Mexico’s narco-hellscape. But here’s the twist: officials south of the border aren’t just denying the stats; they’re pivoting hard to blame lax U.S. gun laws, conveniently ignoring their own porous borders, corrupt federales, and the fact that over 70% of traced cartel weapons hail from states like Texas and Arizona, per ATF data. It’s classic deflection—point north while their own kingpins stockpile rocket launchers smuggled from… you guessed it, other cartels with international pipelines.
This isn’t just diplomatic finger-pointing; it’s a direct assault on American gun rights disguised as outrage. Schweizer’s revelations highlight the hypocrisy: Mexico’s ironclad civilian gun bans (only one legal store in the whole country, with ammo rationed like wartime rations) haven’t stopped the violence—over 100,000 murders annually—but they scream for us to gut our 2A freedoms. The implications for the pro-2A community are stark: every assault weapon ban or ATF registry push in D.C. gets ammo from these headlines, painting law-abiding Americans as cartel enablers. Yet the real fix? Enforce existing laws on straw purchases and fast-track Operation Fast and Furious accountability, not erode constitutional carry. Schweizer’s book arms us with the facts to counter the narrative—cartels thrive on prohibition, not legal markets.
For 2A patriots, *The Invisible Coup* is a wake-up call: Mexico’s defensive bluster proves the globalist playbook—use tragedy to disarm the free. Share this intel, read the book, and let’s flip the script from villains to victors in the border gun wars. Our rights aren’t negotiable, no matter how many sombrero-wearing bureaucrats whine.
