It would be easier and cheaper for them to smuggle full-auto weapons from the south than semi-auto weapons from the north.
Most of the weapons needed to wage war are unavailable at Bubba's Gun Shop. Mortars, artillery, tracked vehicles, and heavy machineguns aren't stuff that gets bought from the United States. (At least not without .gov approval).
I wouldn't be suprised if most of the cartel's weapons came from Mexican police arsenals and military bases. Bringing an AR-15 to a gunfight against cops is suicidally stupid. I've built several AR-15 rifles and am intimately aquainted with their capabilities and would MUCH prefer something with wheels and a lanyard in a gunfight.
