Okay, here’s a HUGE problem I have with this. I am tired of the false and logically unsound argument that “US gun laws are arming the cartels.”

You can’t buy RPGs at a gun store. You can’t buy a full-auto AK-47 with an under-mounted grenade launcher from a gun show.

And more to the point, how come nobody has connected the dots and pointed out that MEXICO’s restrictive gun laws prevent citizens from defending themselves? This is ridiculous. President Calderon seems to be a good guy and much less corrupt than Fox and Zedillo, but he has a HUGE mess to deal with. An unarmed citizenry is one of the problems.

Our friends from NAFBPO often relate news items from Mexico showing many of these arms are coming in from China and elsewhere.

On FR, look under Keyword: NAFBPO
