It's all the USA's fault! If we had common sense gun control where no one could get guns, Mexico would be a peaceful, thriving utopia.

Police in the Mexican capital have kicked off a campaign to exchange guns for computers and other gifts in an attempt to reduce firearm deaths.

Here's a better idea. How about replacing your corrupt police with honest ones and actually jailing the criminals and executing murderers.

It won't work. Denver had a "Cash for Guns" program and one guy was filmed on a local TV station and he said all he did was turn in three old guns, got the cash, and was going to get a better gun. The liberal anchor of the News was PO'd.

Does anyone know what the individual gun ownership laws are in Mexico?

I thought personal gun ownership was illegal, how could there be any crime with guns already banned.

Just for the hell of it Mexico City should sue New York City and Bloomie in the World Court and blame New York's violent 'gun culture' for its problems.

That would be a freaking hoot!

Doesn't the swap work the other way around?

I don't care if they ARE giving away guns. They're not getting my computer.
