I don't know where you live but I expect you haven't been in a large urban area in the drug corridor, in the linked case, the place where Mother Jones lead children on a March to NY to battle child labor -
that is now a 6-decade old drug market.
I used to substitute teach in that neighborhood (near "K&A" - Kensington Ave. and Allegheny Avenue), where people live under the EL and suburban traffickers/dealers feed more drugs to those there. The trade had involved an explosion in the use of ghost guns as well.
If you think OUR cartels are not "dangerous", then that is a perception that needs to be changed. The easy access to guns in the U.S. just magnifies that.
The POINT is for this country to STOP pointing at OTHERS and deal with one's OWN house. The GOP penchant for "projection" of their problems onto someone else, is legendary.
It's those glass houses.
