American Guns in Mexico?

American guns in Mexico?

Amid frantic calls for the USA to "... reinstate the Clinton-era ban on ' assault' weapons," (based entirely on superficial appearances) and "... stepping up investigations of American gun-dealers and owners, and more strictly regulating American gun-shows" come dubious assurances that such atrocious federal actions in the USA "... will weaken drug-cartels, disrupting their illegal activities and making it easier ultimately to dismantle and destroy them"

On, please! Have we heard this rubbish before? Mexico's "government" hardly inspires confidence, and, when they've been so demonstrably incapable thus far in dealing with their own drug-cartels, they can scarcely make a persuasive case that the situation will miraculously change with new, restrictive laws passed in America.

Either way, for any drug-cartel, with literally billions necessary to import cocaine by the ton, importing weapons from South America, Europe, and Asia is child's play.

A US Senator, and one of our students, noted when he recently toured our southern border that he observed a steady stream of cars and trucks crossing the border, heading south. None were ever searched, on either side!

One logically concludes that Mexico's government is vastly more worried about interfering with the southern flow of American dollars than they ever will be about interfering with the supposed flow, in the same direction, of weapons!

For Liberals, justifying the degenerative extermination of individual freedom opens the door to progressive tyranny, for which they so earnestly, sincerely, and additively lust. On the way, their cockamamy rationalizations are comical indeed, as we see!
