I think it absolutely is connected. While the particular firearm may or may not be one that 'walked', the violence clearly escalated due to F&F. And being heavily armed have made the cartel's bolder.
Did you see the pictures of some of the firearms which were allowed to go into Mexico? We're talking some seriously expensive hardware, FN SCARs in 7.62 NATO, etc!
e.g. higher firepower than which we allow our own officers to have.
