I suggest they build a secure border fence.

"Listen to this my friend....the American people run this country...not the idiots in Washington!"

Of that, I am beginning to question.

"American law to me is absurd because people can easily acquire firearms."

Spoken like a true Mexican elite, the concept of poor, ordinary people being able to protect themselves is unheard of.

Mexican officials have repeatedly complained that the U.S. must do more to stop the flow of potent weapons -- including assault rifles and even .50-caliber machine guns -- that drug gangs often purchase in the United States.

We would be happy to fix that imaginary problem for you. Even though they cannot legally buy "assault rifles" and machine guns here in the United States, we can fix that perception right now. It's called the border wall. Now you elite, wealthy Mexican elites can deal with your own drug cartels and corruption and crime. They won't be able to shop over here anymore. Do you really expect that even this will leave drug cartels unarmed? They can buy machine guns almost anywhere in the world with drug money...anywhere except the USA.

U.S. calls Mexican leaders “corrupt” and “complicit” in fight against drugs.

I would like two walls. One ours and one mexican with a no man zone in the middle. :0)

Oh, I get it, Mexico's a mess because we have a Second Amendment.

Sounds like some of our NE Liberal RATpublicans. Blackbird.

There's a very easy way for the Mexican officials to solve that problem. All they need to do is to build a wall across the border to stop the influx of weapons.

Problem solved.
