Don't know if it matters, but most guns that the cartels use are made here in the US.

I would think that would make the difference. Someone earlier claimed that the US is the top manufacturer of guns in the world. I'm inclined to think this is true.

Guns aren't like cocaine or other drugs. With cocaine you pretty much just need to farm land to grow the plants and maybe the proper climate. With guns you need the industrial capability. I doubt other countries have the same industrial capability as us to wholly replace what we produce if we drastically cut down.
