WASHINGTON — Tighter gun control and stronger law enforcement in Southwestern states were recommended Thursday by lawmakers concerned about drug violence in Mexico possibly spilling across the border.

"The United States and Mexico border violence can only be solved if we look at all parts of the equation," Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., said Thursday during a House subcommittee considering changes to U.S. gun laws. "Let’s examine our gun laws, let’s cut down on U.S. drug consumption, let’s ask there to be more resources to root out drug-money laundering," he said...

Prayers for the people of Texas.
It could get right sportin', I would imagine. Hope my AR kit arrives by then, although if it doesn't I'll hardly be unarmed. In fact my 7.62x51 rifle might be more appropriate. The sight lines are long in these parts, if you get up on one of the many 200' hills.
Good Luck with that.
Now you know why they prohibited the growing of Hemp oh those many years ago. Make's good ropes. But imported ones will do, as will polypropylene. Whatever, but.
Except California perhaps, but even there, they are armed, just not a well armed as they'd like to be.
The typical response by the Ayers and Angela Davis crowd.
Restrict freedoms in the US and the world will be a better place.
Invade Mexico and restore order. Because invading my civil rights *instead* is not an option. They are responsible for the problem, so they should suffer the consequenses, not me.
Massachusetts didn't even want Texas in the Union. John Quincy Adams fought a scorched-earth political war to keep Texas out, and personally delayed Texas's admission to the Union for 10 years.
Of course, when Texas left the Union again 12 years later, that wasn't good enough for Massachusetts, either.
The deal was, they didn't want Texas in the Union as a peer.
Now they want to use an "emergency" to push their substitute for thought off on Texas again. Declare "insurrection" or "invasion", impose martial law -- and burn Texas to the ground, for Massachusetts's good.
Talk to your FFL and see if he can get you one of Ronnie Barrett's Texas-made popguns. He's right down the road from us in Houston.
somebody give this libtard a fork and point him to a light socket...
in reality, only one rope will do, as it needs to be cut way down into short lengths anyhows...
LMAO!!!!! Now that’s funny! ;)
No, we DON”T need to examine our gun laws....unless it is to REPEAL some! Dummy!

Sounds like Tierney needs to have a conversation with Ron Paul.
The whole lot of them are shovel ready. The only thing congress should vote on is who digs first and who hops in first.
Scary stuff with Napolitano running the show. She couldn’t even get a handle on the violence in her own state. Phoenix is now the number 2 city for kidnappings. Could zero have picked a more incompetent person to run Homeland Security?
With Janet in Charge?
The EX-Governor of Arizona who couldn't and wouldn't control it?
And rep Tierney, in case you forgot you were elected to represent the people who live in your peehole of a district not in Texas or ANYWHERE else in the USA.
The last attempt to subject Texas was short lived and did not work out that well.
And the last Civil War was fought over Northern financial interest vs Southern agricultural interests. Not about slavery (which was a despicable thing).
And by the way, my ancestors were literally burned out of Alabama during Reconstruction. That is how we came to live in Texas.
