Description
Four teens from the Phoenix area told The New York Times they buy AR-15s and AK-style rifles and resell them to Mexican cartel operatives near the southern border. The teens, ages 16 to 19, are current or former high school students in west Phoenix. They spoke anonymously because of the criminal nature of the sales, and the Times says it verified their identities. Federal data shows that of more than 11,000 gun traffickers tracked from 2017 through 2021, about a third were under 25. Derricke Dennis reports.
