What I need the most are AK-47s': How the United States floods Mexico with weapons
Briefly

The article details a covert negotiation between Fernanda, a woman procuring weapons for a drug cartel, and a contact in the U.S. seeking to supply her with firearms. Specifically, Fernanda is interested in AK-47s—code-named "chivitos"—along with M-240 machine guns and Glocks. After building trust over the phone, they agree on a transaction involving $63,000 for multiple high-caliber weapons. The meeting for the exchange is set to occur discreetly at a public location near the Texas border, emphasizing the covert nature of the arms trade.
Fernanda, dedicated to obtaining weapons for the cartels, seeks AK-47s (chivitos) filled with peanuts (ammunition), and extends her interest to M-240 machine guns.

The contact and a trusted driver will wait for them in a public location to confirm the agreed-upon amount of money has been brought and to discreetly exchange the merchandise.
