Agreed, sir. The wording should not have been "downside", but rather, an external entity(the Cartels, etc) taking advantage of a U.S. privilege. As mentioned by Irishsquid, the problem begins when those taking advantage of that Right, begin to spread towards the U.S. and causing trouble, to which I agree.

Since we are the only ones who keep records and trace weapons, obviously, the majority of the ones traced are ours.

That makes perfect sense, I doubt all of the weaponry comes the United States, no one puts all of their eggs into one basket, especially when they have money, although I'd imagine purchasing from other latin american countries or overseas is not as practical.

US firearms laws are not the cause of the Mexican drug violence

Agreed, as well. Even if the U.S. offered little consumption, the truth is, there would still be Cartels. They seem passionate about money and power, drugs are simply a viable way of achieving it, which is why I also think legalizing drugs won't help in the long run. Gun control laws are not causing the violence: the people smuggling them for their business are.
