Dumb title but here's the drug related part:
"Sheinbaum on Tuesday took issue with the idea that Mexico can simply stop drug traffic, while pointing out America's role in it. "Seventy percent of the illegal weapons seized from criminals in Mexico come from your country. We do not produce these weapons, nor do we consume synthetic drugs. Tragically, it is in our country that lives are lost to the violence resulting from meeting the drug demand in yours," she said, claiming that Mexico has "seized tons of various types of drugs, 10,340 firearms, and have detained 15,640 individuals for violence related to drug trafficking."

Naturally it's so untrue it may as well be a lie. They trade drugs for guns, stop the drugs and the flow of guns and ammo will also stop.
But this is all a moot point because Mexico has factories that can make these guns. The only reason they don't make the guns down south is because it's easier to get them legally ("legally") in America and smuggle them.
Also cartels have been caught with Israeli military gear. If they can smuggle rifles from Israel and across the world back to Mexico they can get them from anywhere.
