The fact that most the guns come from America, may be true.
We just need to verify that these are the same guns given to the Mexican Government to use against drug cartels. Because the corrupt Mexican Government sold the same guns to the cartels. Damn good profit when there free.
But then I haven’t found any grenades or RPG’s in any of the gun stores I frequent.

The next question is: Why aren’t these zealots being taken to task (legally, perhaps) for perpetuating these blatant lies?

Here is how you stop the violence in Mexico overnight without taking Americans Constitutional rights away from them, decriminalize drugs and stop the failed war on drugs.

We should outright legalize marijuana and quit wasting billions every year on the failed war on drugs. If we taxed it like we do alcohol, the Government could lower our taxes. California already has a booming marijuana business in northern California.

Despite the propaganda printed in most main stream newspapers, drug use does not increase when it is legalized, it actually decreases with the violence on the streets between gangs being eliminated. Desperate for credibility, drug squads are misleading the public by linking grass and guns together in
staged media events. Violence is simply the timeless method of regulating market-share during prohibition and is, thus, a creation of criminal black markets, not a product of pot smoking.

In Switzerland, crime dropped 60% after they went to heroin maintenance instead of throwing heroin addicts in prison. Isn’t it time we stop taking the Freedom and Liberty away from Americans and do the right thing?

BTW-The 50 Caliber machine guns came from only one source, the Mexican military. The US Military will not sell any 50cal to anyone but another Government Military since they are no longer manufactured.

I am retired Law Enforcement and am sick of the grandstanding on this issue.Prohibition did not work in the 1920’s era and it is not working now.

See an opportunity. Inflate the figures and throw in a bit of a lie. Then use the “modified” story to support your politics. So what else is new with the MSM or our politicians today?

Two other supporting stories that have received ZERO attention.

LA TIMES (no friend to conservatives or the 2nd amendment) ran a full article detailing that most all weapons in Cartel hands are coming from International Arms dealers and being smuggled up from central america.
* Bonus quote was Police saying that they ARE ONLY ARMED WITH SEMI AUTO “MILITARY” STYLE RIFLES AND ARE HOPELESSLY OUTGUNNED.
http://www.latimes.com/news/nationwo…626,full.story

Second article deals witht the dismissal of the case against a AZ gun store owner accused of selling mass guns to the cartels. Jusge threw out the case because there was ZERO EVIDENCE the owner had made a single illegal sale to anyone.

I am just an dumb cluck from Texas so
I could never figure out where they were coming up with the 90% figure. Now I know where they come up with the figure, out of thin air. Another case of Mexico trying to pass the blame and do-gooders trying to prove we need to ban guns.

I read a book about a paratrooper division that was dropped behind German lines. They freed Holland and asked one Dutchman why they didn’t get their guns and shot the invading Nazis. The response was that in the name of disarmement, the Dutch government had taken up all the guns from private citizens in the mid-thirties.

Wonder if our Sec. of State will be as pro-active about the Iranians smuggling weapons into Iraq to murder our people?
