Kerry: No National Guard to Southern Border, Bring Back Assault Weapons Ban The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee says the U.S. and Mexico need to step up and build a "combined front" against Mexican drug smugglers, but using U.S. forces along the border could hurt the effort.

Sending National Guard to the U.S. border of Mexico is "premature and possibly counterproductive," but reviving the assault weapons ban would help end the drug-related violence in Mexico, Sen. John Kerry said Monday.

The chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee said the U.S. and Mexico must work more closely to stop cross-border weapons smuggling and curb the American appetite for illegal drugs that is fueling the violence along the border.

"Americans are worried that the cartels will turn our cities and neighborhoods into the next front in the war. Drug trafficking and the ruthless violence it spawns know no borders. So far, the United States has largely been spared. But it is in our national interest, and it is our solemn obligation, to take steps today to help curtail the killing in Mexico," he said.

Mine to. I live in houston. Lets ban guns so i can’t defend myself. Under the new AW ban, my 9mm isn’t legal because the magazine holds more than 10 rounds. I just bought it BECAUSE of the problems eith mexico.

I also think my home defense shotgun which is perfectly legal may be too short barrelled a well. These folks are making me insane. I just dont understand how they can be so morally corrupt or just that stupid i dont know which it is.

Yes, bring back the AWB, because of course Mexican drug lords are coming here, going shopping at Bob’s Gun Shop, placing their order, then patiently waiting 5 months for their civilian Bushmaster AR-15. Right.

Not only eliminating federal protection of our border, but denying suitable tools to those living there.

Whose side is he on?

Giv’em rope. At this point I’m convinced the GOP for all their good intentions couldn’t run a government subsidized pop stand. Our only hope for America is give the Collectivists a free reign and hold our noses for two-four years. Then hope there’s something left we it all comes tumbling down.

Kerry needs a map. ONE of Mexico’s boundaries is shared with the US. Mexcio has a southern border and two coasts - both easy smuggling points for all kinds of weapons.

Right John...Assault weapons aren’t manufactured anywhere else in the world - only in the United States. I’m sure the Chinese or Russians and any other gun smugglers of various origins throughout the world will follow your shining example and not sell weapons to any drug cartels. The only thing this will change is the demand for 7.62 rounds over the .223...

Nice try moron - you and Hillary are just doing AG Holder’s dirty work...
Mark Levin was right, this guy should be known as Dummy John from now on.
