“Mexican law makes it nearly impossible to buy guns there legally, but less restrictive gun laws in the U.S. keep the firearms flowing over the border.”

What does Mexican law say about cutting the heads off police chiefs?? Oh, the knives used to behead people are coming from the US also!

So if lax US gun laws are responsible for guns in Mexico, are lax Mexican drug laws responsible for drugs in the US?

It is already illegal for Mexicans and Mexican-americans to buy guns here and take them to Mexico! And please tell me, SeeBS, where I can buy grenades and RPGs in the US??

Most here probably don’t know this but it is lax gun laws that are to blame for gun crime in Canada too (This is reported by the Canadian media as a state of fact regularly)

On Cam & company-NRA News-a month ago, did a report on this. They compare it to El Paso, TX & some Mexican city on the other side of the borader. It shown that there was a weapon shipment going on there and yet El Paso was more safer than the Mexican city where the shipment happened.

CBS=Communistic Broadcasting News

Yeah, the kind of hardware they’re using is highly illegal here in the US, so so much for “lax gun laws”.

And it’s not as if Mexico is a country with two huge coastlines and a corrupt government.

Yet the notion that lax immigration laws are to blame for crime in the US never crosses their minds.

It must be because of the lax guns laws in the US, because the strict gun laws in Mexico obviously work so damn well. Jeez lou-eez. What a bunch of ignorant knobs.
