“On weapons, there are two problems in addition to futile Mexican posturing. First, firepower is fungible. Even granting that most arms used in Mexico come from the U.S. (in fact, only the traceable ones do), there is no reason to suppose that if they stopped moving south, other sources and suppliers would not fill the void. Otherwise, the abundance of guns in countries from Brazil to Afghanistan would be inexplicable.”
Do I discern the faintest glimmer of intelligent life at TIME????
Is it POSSIBLE???
Yes....and no.
They are laying the groundwork for excusing Operations Fast and Furious and Castaway by saying that they would have just acquired their firearms elsewhere.....
....so....it really doesn't matter that the DOJ and BATFE and State Department were involved in gun running to the drug cartels.
No real harm done, really, just because they got them from our Dept of State and Federal Law Enforcement Agencies, 'cause they'd have gotten their hands on guns anyway.

See?
Libthink is more convoluted that the Gordian Knot, it has to be to keep excusing their own doing things they accuse others of (and virulently revile them for even if the accused are innocent).
To them, it's okay if they do it, and even better if they spend our money in the process.
