#2 What crosses the border into Mexico is Mexico's responsibility, and what crosses the border into the USA is the USA's responsibility. What is so hard about that?

#3 We must stop the flow of handguns, assault rifles and machine guns
- J.Kerry

The Feb. 21 attack on police headquarters in coastal Zihuatanejo, which injured four people, fit a disturbing trend of Mexico's drug wars. Traffickers have escalated their arms race, acquiring military-grade weapons, including hand grenades, grenade launchers, armor-piercing munitions and antitank rockets with firepower far beyond the assault rifles and pistols that have dominated their arsenals.

Most of these weapons are being smuggled from Central American countries or by sea, eluding U.S. and Mexican monitors who are focused on the smuggling of semiauto- matic and conventional weapons purchased from dealers in the U.S. border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
...
These groups appear to be taking advantage of a robust global black market and porous borders, especially between Mexico and Guatemala. Some of the weapons are left over from the wars that the United States helped fight in Central America, U.S. officials said.

#4 the gun-running is a problem, but most of their real hardware comes from Central America and the Mexican Army. When a stoopid tool like Kerry jumps into the fray, you should watch the hands, not the mouth. This'll be a step towards limiting guns, ammo sales, you watch

#5 the gun-running is a problem, but most of their real hardware comes from Central America and the Mexican Army.

Hmm, I just assumed it was dealers at the local Gun & Knife Show trying to unload left-over RPGs and crew-served weapons they were unable to sell to the Michigan Militia.

#7 Eventually, there is going to be a major gun battle in a US border city that will result in a bunch of dead Americans. But unlike the attack on Columbus, NM by Poncho Villa, the left will raise the hue and cry against Americans.

They will desperately search for some way of blaming Americans for being massacred.

#8 And force their best customers to seal the border? Nah.

#9 They will desperately search for some way of blaming Americans for being massacred. That was done after 9/11.

#10 "Eventually, there is going to be a major gun battle in a US border city that will result in a bunch of dead Americans."

I don't think Americans will be the only dead people after that battle....
