Sorry to break it to you, but you don’t know frijoles (beans) about the gun trafficking into Mexico. It is common knowledge and well documented that most of the high priced fire power that the narco-traffickers have in Mexico is coming in illegally from the US.

You say “well document” – well documented by whom, exactly? Because there is a key flaw in your logic – the “high priced fire power” that’s in Mexico is illegal in the US, bucko.

Now, it doesn’t take a super-genius to know that 1) it’s easy to smuggle stuff into Mexico through Central America, and 2) automatic weapons are readily available in South and central America. Sooo…follow the logic. Or you could continue to believe the hype and bullcrap that people are walking across the border and buying AKs at gunshows.

My background and couple of comments:

I am an American that is retired and living in Mexico full time and have lived here for the last 8 years. I don’t smoke, drink or use drugs and don’t moralize about those that do as long as they don’t infringe on my space.

It never ceases to amaze me that the same people that wrap themselves in the American flag and proclaim that their ‘God given’ 2nd amendment rights allow them to own almost any weapon under the sun, in the same breath say that Iran or North Korean shouldn’t be allowed to have nuclear weapons.

I agree that Iran or North Korean and probably Pakistan shouldn’t have nuclear weapons. And Joe Six Pack down the street has no business owning or selling an AK47 or Browning M2 heavy machine gun for that matter.

Some say after forty years, there has been NO PROGRESS in the drug war.

If you are apart of DEA, ONDCP and other ‘law enforcement agencies’ you have seen your operations and budgets grow. Your departments also get a piece of the drug bust ‘action’ to fund you program.

If you are manufacturer of military gear that is used to fight the War on Drugs you have also seen growth & profits.

If you are a politician, you have a moral cause to fight against. It’s a source campaign rhetoric and donor funding.

If you are in the leadership position of a drug cartel you own one of the world’ largest and profitable untaxed enterprises and you will do anything to keep it that way.

So legalization would eliminate the above referenced ‘progress’.

Guns, bullets and government troops don’t strike fear into a narco-traffickers hearts, only legalization does and the prospect of greatly reduced profits.
