The way to solve this is to make our fellow neighbors from the United States, stop consuming drugs, where there is no demand, there is no supply.

Everyone needs to go back to the 2nd post. Jim its it right on the head, 0nly 17% of the guns in Mexico are traceable, of those those few, 90% are traceable to the US. The vast majority are not traceable!

There are plenty of laws on the books already for controling ALL the guns in the US. The anti-gun politians of both parties do very little to enforce these laws because if enforced they would prove that guns in hands of law abiding citizens are not a problem. But if the laws on the books are not enforced well enough then the anti-gun crowd can say"see these laws are not working,therefore we need more laws",which of course will not be enforced until the only law left that they will claim that will work is total confiscation.The politicians don't fear angry voters,but do fear angry,armed voters.

Come on, Stan, put that "gun-free zone" sign in front of your house already. Let's find out which of the two of us is smarter. What are you waiting for?

This should be simple. Close the border. Make it work in both directions and solve 2 problems at once. And let the mexicans pay half the cost.

here is a suggestion.
osamabama should go into the neighborhoods there in mexico and sweet talk 'em to hand over their guns and join acorn. then they could get them back after their training is over for the national militia and help the unions sign up more members, with a right to vote as many times as they want, even when they're dead.

works for me. check his id before letting him back into the country!!!!!

DRIP don't return incumbent politicians.

Obamalama has got to have some alterior motive for telling the Mexican president that he won't reinstitute the gun ban. My husband thinks it's because it has the 'Clinton' name attached to it, and PresBO's ego couldn't stand the strain.

I trust that Obama person about as far as I could throw him. I'd like to think he won't do it because he doesn't want to piss us conservatives off anymore than we already are, but that's probably just wishful thinking.

Just think ... if it was not for the firearms technology today, the "three shots heard around the world" taking out the pirates would not have been possible.
Sure wasn't made with flintlocks.

Thats a frightening thought, Mac. Thanks for making my day (a little more scary).

Stan, obviously with your severely limited intellectual capacity you can not think of anything else to say but;
"Either they are violent criminals, paranoid losers who wait in a basement for WW3, or people too dumb to find the grocery store."
Stan please ask someone who has an intelligence level above that of a 3rd grader to come up with another argument for you.
The Security Code System SUCKS!!!!!!

Obama and his radical left wing extremist administration is going to find something to attack the second amendment with... heck, nothing he's done has paid any attention to any other limitation in the Constitution, so why should this be any different... as if the document seems to matter anymore at all...
He's going to start with registration of firearms or ammunition and serialization of ammunition. I guarantee some kind of attack on gun owners in the US is coming from this anti-freedom administration.

Both parties know the voter backlash is severe if they try the gun ban again. I can see them taxing everything involved to death though. The mexican problem is so solvent that its pitiful. Stolen guns have no regulations and never will. Its too easy to go after the law abiding.
I wonder if I am on a list somewhere. Marine/life NRA/Fifty Cal.Shooters Assn/master class Airrifle/sillhouette/highpower/smallbore Stan Gable evidently has a third grade education trying to get everyone riled up as he writes his post. Come visit me Stan I can lead you away from your sociopathic views.
SEMPER FI

What part of 'shall not be infringed', don't you People understand??????????????????

Easy solution, gunowners obviously arent smart enough to be citizens of America. Either they are violent criminals, paranoid losers who wait in a basement for WW3, or people too dumb to find the grocery store.

There is a law in Mexico forbidding anyone from owning a military weapon. So, they imported Super .38s from Colt in lieu of the venerable .45 because of this.

Looking at various "assault weapons" confiscated and on display most appear to be stolen from the Mexican Army. Those of US origin I mean. AK47/AK74 could have come over the SOUTHERN border from Nicaragua and probably did.

Jack Smythe needs to define what his opinion of an assault weapon is before espousing banning whatever. Most weapons now have ceramics/plastics that look similar to military weapons. Having said that, I believe a citizen can own whatever weapon he desires including "assault weapons." M4 currently used by my son is NOT full automatic and the 5.56mm round is one ten-thousandth larger than the .22 varmint rifle. Most of your deer rifles are .30 caliber. AK47/74 is 7.62mm which is .30cal. The old Soviet made AK47/74 and the knock-off copies are full auto, but no one with training would use full auto under any circumstances. My two favourite weapons are the M82-A1 Barrett and the Browning M60-E. Unfortunately, the only one I can buy is the Barrett. Long and short, most people assume all rifles are "assault weapons", not realizing that not only isn't true but a foolish assumption. Ever hear about the new 30-round full-auto shotgun? It's legal.

The Bill of Rights is to be understood, and has been understood, by the courts to be not a ceiling on the rights of the people but a floor under them.
All the specific rights articulated in the Bill of Rights are therefore mere examples to illustrate the rights of the people.

Who the H*ll are you to decide what WE THE PEOPLE NEED!!!!!!!

The problem with Mexico is that guns and ammunition are tightly controlled by the Mexican government. When all of the drug violence heated up a few years ago I expected the populace along the border to get fed up and end it as it was having a huge effect on businesses in the border areas. But the people are not able to do anything because the weapons are only in the hands of the outlaws and federales. Some in our government would like to have the same thing here.

..you at least have the opportunity to take cover. A drunk driver after dark? Not so much.

Hyperbole, Copyleft, is not a statement of facts. I looked for the 100% statement in the Newz and couldn't find it. A brief investigation reveals that 13 Americans die on the highway each day due to drunken illegals. Another 12 Americans are murdered daily by ostensibly sober illegals. It's not your 100% - just thousands annually.

Vaya con dios, amigo.

Isn't it about time the Mexican government built a wall along the border to prevent the flow of illegal weapons into their country?

You know, a CRAZY idea like that just might work!!!!

According to a ATF report, only 17% of the confiscated guns were traced to the U.S. The other 83% came across the Mexican/Guatemalan border

Yes Americans have the right to bear arms. But that does not imply any kind of arms. Why does someone need to own an assault weapon? Just as people can't own machine guns, hand grenades, rocket launchers, there is no reason why a person needs to have an assault weapon to protect himself/herself or to go hunting with it. The right to bear arms shouldn't imply any kind of arms.

A treaty trumps the U.S. Constitution, and is only ratified by the Senate. Watch for this to occur between the US and Mexico on firearms. A nifty backdoor for this administration...

If the highly regulated, Automatic weapons the drug gangs are using can be traced to an FFL in this country, why aren't they doing anything about it?

Answer: This whole is based on a LIE, just like everything else in the Statist agenda

The question now remains: how is he planning to do that?

Hmmm...... I have an answer..... Do a better job on policing the border! But, I guess the Obama Administration would rather throw rocks at Our Constitution.
