Why? Well, in the photos you can see that some of the squads they sell have somewhat particular designs, quite similar to those that have pistols used by Mexican drug traffickers, such as those shown in the museum of the National Defense Secretariat (SEDENA).

And they are not discreet at all, since the weapons sold by the Colt company have names like “El Jefe”, “El Grito” and even “Emiliano Zapata 1911”.

It was through its social networks that the federal agency denounced that there are at least three models of Colt pistols that are directed to the market in Mexico: the super “El Jefe”, “El Grito” and the “Emiliano Zapata 1911”. They even explained that these weapons are status symbols for criminals and that they arrive in large quantities “thanks to illegal practices of the defendant companies

“Weapons made by US companies flood crime scenes throughout Mexico. Their illicit and excessive trafficking directly affects the safety of Mexican families, “wrote the secretariat headed by Marcelo Ebrard in his Twitter post.

“For whom is this Colt brand automatic pistol designed and advertised? Put another way, what is the target market for this company? “, Pablo Monroy Conesa, Deputy Legal Consultant of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, also pointed out in a publication.
