On the border between Arizona and Mexico, young people earn a lot of money by selling weapons to drug cartels, notably the Sinaloa cartel, without actually being members.
To sell their merchandise, these teenagers gradually built a network of high school students in order to vary the buyers. Transactions are carried out online via encrypted messaging services such as WhatsApp or Telegram, with messages sometimes sent between two class hours.
To obtain supplies, minors can steal weapons from their parents, from private homes or from cars.
Asked about the use of these weapons, one of them says that it is not his problem as long as he earns money.
