She highlighted that a majority of weapons used by criminals in Mexico are sourced from the US, suggesting a dire need for stronger measures against firearm trafficking. This warning may follow the reported plans of the US state department to classify Mexican drug cartels as terrorist groups, which has implications for further legal actions against American manufacturers in light of the ongoing firearm smuggling issue.
