Hey Mexico, here’s an idea, arm the border and shoot anyone crossing unauthorized in either direction.

Everyone should be writing their senator to protest giving this data to mexico

Back when I was a dispatcher I asked a guy in charge of telecomm at the agency if there’d ever be a direct link through NLETS to Mexico for checking drivers licenses and such. His answer was basically “Not a chance” specifically because of the security problems.

And now this is being handed over?

here is the problem i see… what happens if it turns out that the semi-auto AKs and ARs are being bought in large numbers here in the US, and that the FA conversions are being done in Mexico… in that case, at best, we will start hearing how easy these “killing machines” are to make FA… at worst, some gun dealers will get raided by the ATF for “Selling” unregistered FA weapons…

I would expect a lot of handguns could be traced back to the U.S., but any sort of machine gun probably comes from their army or LEOs. It’s really a bait-and-switch tactic.

The only way to stop smuggling is to stop trade, and even then something would still get across the border.
