We just don't know the particulars of their thoughts. I suspect they are thinking of the benefits of cooperation. Personal, under the table benefits, not reportable as income. They are thinking.

You'll start seeing more AKs than ARs floating around Mexico maybe, but the net result is the same. Why is this concept (the iron law of prohibitionism and the black market) so hard to understand? Like all of the sudden Mexican drug cartels will behave themselves if a couple of gun shops in the US (like that's where they're buying them in the first place) go out of business. Duh. It's our fucking addiction problem they're feeding. The hypocrisy is disgusting.
