Do they use money to influence legislation in the government? IF the answer is yes, then they are a lobbying group.

The grenades,mines and rocket launchers are ignored,because to point out such weaponry would poke holes in the lie of the guns coming from the USA.

Although a lot of firearms do come from the USA.

They just first go to the Mexican government,then to their military or police agencies,and THEN to the cartels.

The USA can't be responsible for what happens outside its borders. If there is a problem with weapons like you point out finding its way to the Mexican drug cartels, either the Mexican government should solve it, or if they can't, and are willing to do so, then they should call upon the United Nations. Mexican violence with firearms is not in the jurisdiction of the US.

You're right. He doesn't stand up to anyone, but backs down. He's a coward. I wish he would stand up for the right things, instead of the wrong, idiotic things that he "stands up" for.

We should make a bargin with Mexico's leaders. You keep your criminals from crossing into our country. When you accomplish that, we'll work on keeping our firearms from crossing into your country. Until then...FO.
