[QUOTE="Babagounj, post: 844137, member: 12952"] [B]Hypocritically, U.S. Allows Gun Running to Mexico[/B] [B]Hypocritically, U.S. Allows Gun Running to Mexico By Allan Wall[/B] Mexico is awash in weapons, many of which are used in drug cartel violence. This is a big problem, but much of the rhetoric on both sides of the border has been unhelpful and counterproductive. Both Mexico’s Calderon administration and the U.S. Obama administration blame U.S. gun shops for the proliferation of guns in Mexico. This concerns American firearms owners who think it may be used as an excuse to take away their gun rights. The gun smuggling problem is part of the lack of border security. For various reasons, neither the U.S. nor the Mexican government really wants to secure the U.S.-Mexican border. Otherwise it would have already happened. If the political will existed, the U.S. government would have secured it long ago. The Mexican government wants to have it both ways. Mexican leaders complain about any sort of border control restricting the movement of Mexican illegal aliens northward. Yet they also complain that guns are being smuggled southward. You can’t have it both ways. If the border is porous, it is porous for illegal aliens, drug smugglers, arms smugglers and terrorists. In reality, the unsecured border is a threat to both the U.S. and Mexico. [/QUOTE]
