Hate to tell ya, but the majority of the anti-gun laws are being pushed for by White Liberals that have always wanted these sorts laws.
Oh almost forgot, illegals cannot vote in California or any other state.
Yes I am, a majority means less then nothing, you cant violate the rights of an individuals rights based on the opinions and feelings of a majority, that's we have a bill of rights to begin with .

"The very purpose of a Bill of Rights was to withdraw certain subjects from the vicissitudes of political controversy, to place them beyond the reach of majorities and officials and to establish them as legal principles to be applied by the courts. One's . . . fundamental rights may not be submitted to vote; they depend on the outcome of no elections."

West Virginia State Bd. of Ed. v. Barnette, 319 U.S. 624, 638 (1943)

I live in Nevada, but if any America has their rights limited or infringed upon anywhere we all suffer.

Hispanics by and large vote Democratic, which means the those disingenuous white liberals are given power to pass said laws, and you are right they cant vote, for now. but their kids who are born in America can, and they will vote for those statist fools on the left who promise them a bigger welfare check and legalize their parents..

All the while the American people pay more taxes, sink deeper into debt, have their wages suppressed or fall, living in more dangerous neighborhoods, And last of all are Disarmed by more and more laws passed by statist Democrats voted in perpetuity by millions of illegal now given citizenship by the Dems, laws passed under the lies and obfuscation of safety..Dont believe me? look at California since the last 1970s....

Only arms sanctioned by the Army may be owned, and federal law will state the manner in which they can be used (Firearms are prohibited from importation into the Republic without proper licensing and documentation. Foreigners may not pass the border with unlicensed firearms; the commission of such act is a felony, punishable by prison term.

The last sentence explains the signs at the U.S. border, I guess.

Interesting. So if I were a Mexican citizen in that country, and walked down the street carrying a loaded rifle or pistol, no one would bat an eye?
So where is the warrant for Obama's arrest?

Seeing how most of them still hold on to "old country" logic, and most still hold on the political views of their former nations( most Communist, Marxist, socialist, you know failed ideologies) are really anti firearm rights, or do you think they might wake up and not be sheeple?

What is your take on this?
Mexico is Communist????

Virtually every South American country has a history of a right wing dictatorship and the US is more socialist in Mexico.

Mexico is a dog eat dog world, if you don't have money too bad, you aren't eating tonight. 8 year old kid is homeless, go sell some gum on the street and make a living.

Sounds like a right wing dream

Often you pay money to get into Mexico, a foreigner usually has to pay money for a permit ("FMM") to travel to the interior, many highways in northern Mexico have "casetas" (toll road booths), and you pay money to leave (El Paso/Juarez has a single bridge that is free of charge).

Go to a cemetery, and there are individuals hanging out with paint to darken letters on your loved one's tombstone. Old men stake out a street location to organize how vehicles park for tips. Kids jump up on your hood at every streetlight to wash your windshield.

Mexico is in every way a very capitalist country...

There's quite a bit of assumptions being made on this thread...

My wife is an NRA member, has a sticker on her car, and loves to fire my guns. She's contemplated buying her own. And going through a CCW course.

Since Mexico's labor regulations seem to be less than ours, wages are extremely low, worker protections less than ours, I find it hard to believe Mexico is a socialist/communist country like how some are saying if that makes Mexico communist, what does that make us? Not to mention rule enforcement rates in Mexico are considerably lower than ours...

You've even provided the translations showing Mexico is a Constitutional Republic - same as we are. When I see such irrational terms bandied about to label someone or something improperly as a "socialist" or a "communist", I really lose a regard for that person's judgement. At least the ones that I haven't determined to be full-on liars, which I disregard anyway.
