American Guns to Mexican Gangs
« on: February 19, 2009, 12:25:24 PM »
Just listened to a piece on NPR about how 8,000 American guns, plus lots of ammo, got sent to Mexico last year for the gangs to use in their drug war. Talked about how most, if not all, of it (guns and ammo) was bought at gun shows. Primarily Texas and Arizona. NPR made it seem like this was a gross failure of the "system".
Another reason for the present administration to start tightening down on gun and ammo sales.
Scares the heck out of me.

HMMMM, did any of the liberal scum blabbering about this on NPR biring up tightening security on the border?
99% of all Lawyers give the other 1% a bad name. What I find hilarious about this is they are such an arrogant bunch, that they all think they are in the 1%.

Gentlemen, Mexico and it's government is near collapse. They are in an escalating war with drug cartels and it is a dangerous place along the Texas-Mexican, and Arizona-Mexican border. AKs are the most dominant weapon, and the guns bought in the US, is a mere drop in the bucket to the Mexican drug cartels.
I have been listening and learning about this spreading war for weeks on shortwave talk radio, with no mention until this week on US mainstream TV.
If this Mexican government does collapse there will be thousands of refugees spilling into the border states, as the war for territory will rage completely unchecked.
If our government would stop policing it's own people and shut these border smugglers down, then the war for territory would be fruitless for them to fight.
We are the CONSUMER of these drugs, and in a sick sort of way the reason such a war is being fought for our souls.
It should also be acknowledged that the Mexican government is also knee deep in this very lucrative drug trade into the US. What an interesting world we live in, where the leaders are more corrupt than the followers we follow. But, alas, has it not always been that way? So as a native Texan, I say hang on, rest of the US. It will just get worse in your part of the country too.

P.S.There is also fear that the war will move INTO the US border towns (already has) and also continue to spread here. Is it not strange that we will spill thousands of GALLONS of young American blood to defend the Muslim in Afghanistan, and Iraq, and INHIBIT our own Border Patrol and other agencies from protecting America. :-[ :(

many of the guns return home with workers who came here legal . Can't imagine how many return with the illegals . No the guns are illegal not some of the workers .

legalizing  drugs  would  de-fund the cartells
when drugs are outlawed only out laws will have drugs
DO WHAT EVER IT TAKES TO STOP A DEMOCRAT
OBAMACARE....the biggest tax hike in the  history of mankind
free choice and equality  can't co-exist
AFTER THE LIBYAN COVER-UP... remind any  democrat voters ''they sat and  watched them die''...they  told help to ''stand down''

many statements made here are fiction and are for entertainment purposes only and are in no way to be construed as a description of actual events.
no one is encouraged to do anything dangerous or break any laws.

Bought at a gun show? Or stolen from the US?
I'm voting 3rd party in this election by writing in Jesus Christ for president.  Sadly even if this were an option most of you would still vote Republican because "It's a two party system."

I don't beleive it. NPR will take rumors and presnet it as facts if it supports their Liberal Socialist agenda.

tell the cartels if they stop the people from coming across the border,
that we will let the drugs cross freely! I think the US public would
come out on top on that deal! and no I do not use drugs...
I just think it would be more cost effective...
