USA sending mountains of guns to Ukraine now. I expect many will go into black markets.

> 1300 guns Ok? Is that a lot? > were given to gangsters in Mexico by Holder and Obama. There are two options here. One, you believe this is true, and that it is somehow relevant. That means you are arguing for more gun restrictions. Which means you are a person that makes it harder for me to preserve an important fundamental right of gun ownership. The second is that you are playing the part of an ignorant rube that plays into stereotypes of gun owners which are ultimately self-defeating to anyone who actually cares about the issue. Either way I can’t come up with a way that you are simultaneously making an interesting and honest argument.

Ukraine already had shit load of firearm from the Soviet Union. Enough to fill the black market even without help from the US. What the US is sending now is more advanced and heavy, most likely not going to end up in the black market. IN some countries drug cartels probably can buy some of the heavy stuff directly from the manufacturer. The first link you mentioned is about a failed operation, rather than Obama arming gangsters. Is it bad, that it failed, yes. But it's not like they were given to them to arm them. There is a lot of context missing there.
