MEXICO CITY – The Mexican Senate on Thursday called a hearing over reports that U.S. agents allowed guns to be smuggled into Mexico as part of investigations into drug traffickers.

The Senate voted to summon U.S. Ambassador Arturo Sarukhan to discuss the issue, though it set no date. The lawmakers also asked Foreign Relations Secretary Patricia Espinoza to demand information from the U.S. State Department.

CBS News and the nonprofit Center for Public Integrity reported that agents of the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives investigating gunrunning by cartels allowed hundreds of guns purchased in the U.S. to go into Mexico.

It’s all good. The worst case estimates are 2 feet in Northern California.

At best, my office gets hit but, not likely, as we are six miles inland.

I live at 200 feet elevation and my brother lives a little higher.

We probably won’t see any affect.

I was asleep but my Mom called and woke me up.

All emergency and contingency plans survive this event.

Hasta.....

Well this ought to influence the Mexicans to build a fence in between them and the US to keep US agents and their guns out of their country.

As crazy as that sounds, it would be funny to see Mexico construct a border long fence with barbed wire to keep the gringo guns out of their country.

[How many guns come north from Mexico?]

I don't know but I would bet the ones coming north aren't the Wal-Mart versions with the little 6-round magazines.

You’re right. Sheriff Babeau and the border patrol guys show AK-47s after AK-47s and Uzis after Uzis.

Hey! I have an idea. If Mexico is so ticked at Barry and his administration for this ILLEGAL gun-running why don't they just have charges filed against him (them) in The Hague?

Mexico can name Obama, Holder, whomever runs the BATFE now, and Janet Nappy as co-conspirators in a plot to subvert Mexico's Government by arming 'Rebel Narco-Terrorists'. And demand they be indicted - and arrested by INTERPOL pdq.

Barry can frame his INDICTMENT and put it on the mantel next to his Nobel Prize! Of course that may cut down on his vacation plans as he'd be an International Criminal.

yes, so are we here in America.

We’re also angry that you don’t take care of your drug cartels,
corrupt police, and your poor citizens who you try to push off on us.
