We need to grab Gringo's guns because Mexicans can't enforce their own laws.

[Tarpon]

It’s all those American guns running for the border.

Hugo Chavez is supplying the weapons to the drug trade. Good for business. He just bought a boat laod of Chinese AKs.

[tatsinfla]

of course it wouldn't have anything to do with the drug cartels.... morans...

[mefistofelerevised]

They are talking about the self propelled robot drone guns.

[GBA]

If we are to be blamed for Mexican problems, I'd blame our drug laws and lack of border enforcement long before I'd blame our gun laws for crime in Mexico.

[goldstategop]

They're killing each other. What our Second Amendment has to do with it, I haven't the foggiest idea. We need to put up a wall between us and Mexico.

CBS....one word...RATHER

[Obadiah]

Katie Couric, CBS and the corrupt MSM: always ensuring that the “Kick Me” sign is firmly attached to America.

This story has been debunked.

[TomGuy]

Drug cartel (who transport illegal drugs) buying illegal guns?

O the huge manatee.

[This is the kind of twisted logic the media spreads as news. Unbelievable.]

[Travis T. OJustice]

60 Minutes did a piece a couple weeks back on the subject, and the wepaons they claimed were from the USA were not legal for sale here.

Liars!

So according to CBS the Mexican Drug Lords are buying their guns at Wal Marts, gun shows and sporting goods stores in in the US and smuggling them back into Mexico and aren’t stealing them from the Mexican military or simply buying them directly from the Chinese, Russians etc. Couric is such an airhead.

You and I Can't Buy the Guns Mexican Cartels Own

[iacovatx]

“And with more than 1,000 people already killed in drug violence in Mexico this year, cutting off the gun supply is now a top concern on this side of the border.”

For decades we have been plagued with the problem of poor people flooding into the US and bringing the attendant social and economic problems. The economy never improves in Mexico or other southern nations and the political systems there worsen because the US distracts the populace and provides money to the people.

Drugs have for decades flowed into the US with devastating effect on American lives.

NOW, and only now, the problem of cross-border illegality is a “top concern” and the concern is not for harm caused to the US. I am at a loss for words.

[Obadiah]

LOL

[snowrip]

Yup. I just brought home a pallet of full-auto AKs from Wal-Mart last night, and before leaving I cleaned out their M249 display, too.

[DBrow]

Simple solution: make drugs illegal. Poof, no smuggling, no shooting, because nobody will buy drugs.

[Husker24]

Maybe Mexico should build a wall along the border to keep the guns out.

[Big Mack]

You just can't make these @ssholes happy. You would think they would be rejoicing about these evil assault weapons leaving the country, but no they think we should keep them here for use on the children so they can preach against them.Can't they spell hypocrite?
