There would be no problem if the border was enforced.

Seems funny to me how all those "revolutionaries" like the Southern "indio's" from Mexico could get all kinds of weapons in a location far far away from the US. Same for Columbia, Nicaragua, etc etc.

Yep it's ALL the fault of the US. mexico is not at fault for ANYTHING inside their country.

ABC wrote that "U.S. gun stores and gun shows are the source of more than 90 percent of the weapons being used by Mexico's ruthless drug cartels," but then noted that "It's virtually impossible to buy a firearm in Mexico as a private citizen." To anyone really thinking about it, this fact sort of confirms the pro-gun bromide that "if you make owning a gun a crime, only criminals will have guns," doesn't it?

Brilliant!

It should also be noted that the straw-man purchase is already a federal crime. So, if people are buying large lots of guns for someone else, that is already against the law. This is also a matter of our government not enforcing current laws. New laws aren't needed but we aren't even enforcing many of the laws we do have on the books already

Give this guy an "A" in common sense 101

Here is another opinion on ABC news

The problem isn't ABC, it's that too many people won't think for themselves. One need look only briefly at history to see oppression resulting from people being denied the ability to protect themselves from criminals and their own governments. I'm hoping the SCOTUS is about put a big dent in the efforts to strip us of our constitutional rights by the gun control socialists.

hmmm.......why doesn't Mexico support our construction of a solid border to better seperate our two countries?

Yea I was wondering that myself.  I can't remember the last time I saw a belt fed M-60/medium sized machine gun or a 40 mm automatic grenade launcher for sale at a gun show.

The photo reminded me of this brochure sent out by an anti gun state rep for her AWB push. Note the SAW and the M2 for the .50 ban component. I would post one of the smilies if it weren't so sad.

Politicians never let the truth get in the way of a good hype!

strange odd woman there,
 trusts kids in the military with military assault weapons, weapons of mass destruction, etc., but do not trust older adults with anything. <shrugs>  she needs to be slapped silly for being stupid if nothing else.

Perhaps the Mongols are paying ABC off.   According to local reports, the Mongols outlaw motorcycle gang is involved in underground illegal gun sales here on the west coast.   And they are extremely brazen and crazy too.   Just this week an ATF agent and a local police detective were returning from an investigation into their activities, and they were attacked by gang members right on the Interstate 5 highway.     Three Mongols tried to force them off the road with their cars.

The officers managed to avoid crashing, and called for backup.    All three Mongols ( including the Mongol leader here in Oregon ), were eventually arrested and are all now in jail.

Here are their booking photos:



And here is a news report on the incident:

You have to be pretty crazy to try to kill members of law enforcement.   Apparently they don't want their activities looked into by anyone.

I just don't see why honest citizens need to be punished when organized criminals are the ones causing the problems.

Note:   The Mongols recently invaded Oregon and set up 4 chapters, without asking for permission from any of the existing outlaw biker gangs that are already in Oregon.    Authorities are worried that a gang war may soon break out between the Mongols, and the most powerful of the established Oregon biker gangs: The Gypsy Jokers.
