One of the participants, Arturo Malvido Conway, said he's traveling with the group because of his brother, Rafael, who was killed in Mexico City 14 years ago.
This problem didn't exist in the manner it does today 14 years ago.
What does his brother being killed in Mexico City have to do with border wars?
All those drug addicts in the West are indeed the driving force behind the drug and associated problems in Mexico and other countries. They may not like to hear it, but drug addicts have blood on their hands merely by creating the demand...
Mexico does not have to resort to drug & gun violence. They are adults in Mexico with a conscience.
The definition of a “U.S. source gun†used in these often cited statistics was not created by the ATF and is overly broad. It includes guns manufactured in the United States even if never sold by a federally licensed gun dealer in the United States. Such weapons may have been legally exported to foreign governments or stolen before falling into the wrong hands. That cannot be properly blamed on Americans exercising their Second Amendment freedoms.
*****************************
In a November 8, 2011, court filing, the Chief of ATF’s Firearms Operations Division made a declaration that “in 2008, of the approximately 30,000 firearms that the Mexican Attorney General’s Office informed ATF that it had seized, only 7,200, or one quarter of those firearms, were submitted to ATF for tracing.†Based on these statistics, it’s clear that the total sample of guns submitted for tracing is not representative of all the guns found in Mexico, and there isn’t evidence that the other 75 percent of those guns were sold in a U.S. gun store.
...well, so much for the 90% myth Holder and this administration keeps spouting,....and the lefties keep believing.
And once again someone cannot understand that it does not matter if he guns went through legal dealers or illegal, the FACT remains that the majority of guns do come from the US. Jeeez the far right sure does like to dance around an issue, typical rightie lack of logical thinking.
Sounds like Obama's apology tour. Blame America.
America needs to change that policy" What policy? If Mexico would clean up it own house then there wouldn't be an issue would there. Don't blame the US for everything.
The Mexicans are "promoting peace" by calling the Border Patrol "murderers"? If the Mexicans didn't try to illegally cross the border, there would be no need for the Border Patrol.
Many of the guns ending up in cartel hands are military grade weaponry that comes from Mexico's own army. If the government were not so corrupt, their gun problem wouldn't be as great.
We should completely legalize drug sales and encourage the Mexican Government to adopt a 2nd Amendmant of their own. The first would destroy the profits from smuggling and the second would allow the Mexican people to defend themselves from both the Federal Police and the Drug gangsters.
Well that would solve the problem and makes sense and is the only Real solution I mean it would never work Ron Paul tried to do just that and when politcans start to make sense and adress the issues look what happend to them since the Massive Big pharma drug companies, and Lobby from the major Alochol and Firearm Companies would lose money since a Drug Cartel must buy alot of firearms and the in cash un marked bills and for the ATF having allowed .50Cal BMG to have been walked Across the Border that is pretty heavy firepower to fall into the drug Cartel hands.
I mean makes the 5.56 NATO or .223 AR-15 look like .9mm hand gun Round in comparsion and stray .50cal Rounds could easily come across the border and do some damage to homes and puts alot of people at Risk.
They should tour Mexico the country with the problem not here.
Who should tour Mexico?!
My point is that without the US Mexico would not have the problems it has.
It's like with child labor. It makes no sense to blame a country for child labor when at the same time you buy the products made by children from that country.
