Darn that Second Amendment...the poor Mexicans. My heart breaks for them as they struggle to have the evil Americans obey the Mexican laws.

I am sure all of us on this site see the ironic twist here...

If American guns are a problem in Mexico, perhaps the Mexican government will finally see the need to keep Mexican criminals out of the United States.

Yeah, right.

When you put the clowns in charge, don't be surprised when a circus breaks out.

At Comedy Central aka ABC News, we have this ridiculous statement rendered as fact, "It's virtually impossible to buy a firearm in Mexico as a private citizen."

Yeah, right.  Give me a thousand dollars in cash and drop me off downtown Mexico City and within an hour I can come up with your weapon of choice.  Hey, even faster if you'll take stock in whatever the "police" happen to be carrying.

Mexico is one of the most corrupt socities on the planet.  Virtually anything goes if you have the inclination and the money. 

My wife's relatives owned stores in the Zona Rosa  or Pink Zone,  the 5th Avenue of Mexico City.  They had to pay the police to protect them from thievery and beatings.  And, what do you know, when they did get broken into it was the very same police that were supposed to "protect and serve" that robbed them.  They finally got fed up and immigrated to the United States.   

"The Second Amendment," said the attorney general, "is certainly not designed to arm and give fire power to organized crime abroad."

No, the Second Amendment was designed for LEGAL US citizens. If this AG of Mexico doesn't like it, he can do something about enforcing the border on their side. Works for me!

This is on more GREAT reason to build the border fence! Much of Mexican society is criminal and corrupt. We have bailed out their economy more than once and continue to support this basket case banana republic with remittances from illegal aliens. Their culture is still based on the old Spanish Caste system. They will never change until power is wretsed away from the elite power brokers and racial barriers are broken down. AzRenegade

we'll hear that the 1st Ammendment to our Constitution is causing people worldwide, especially China, to be killed because it is not kosher to be able to speak freely....except in the good 'ole U.S.A.

Here's a headline I'd like to see.......

Income Taxes Squeezing Middle Class -- 16th Amendment to Blame?

Won't hold my breath.

Yea, right, I really believe that all those "undocumented workers" are streaming across the border just to buy massive amounts of American guns and ammo so they can bring them home and sell them to the Mexican drug dealers. That why there are hundreds of gun shops set up along the Mexican border with huge signs that says "Get you illegal guns and ammo here!" in Spanish, right?

... with you on this point. "Certainly we should try harder to assure that our Constitutional rights don't interfere with the laws of a neighboring nation..." You're dead wrong on this. Our Constitutional rights are a matter of national sovereignty and should trump any international considerations. If armed drug cartels are a problem in Mexico, they should be doing something about it, not blaming us. Maybe if they actually had more than token border security, they would be stopping guns from entering their country. Oh, but that would also mean they would also have to formally acknowledge helping their citizens invade the US, so I guess that's out. Of course, as you noted, if our politicians would get their collective head out of you-know-where and institute better than token border security on our side, it would make getting agents in and out of the US to buy weapons harder on the drug lords, but doing so should absolutely not be predicated on helping Mexico enforce its laws. Enforcing our own immigration laws is sufficient.

Now, that said, it is also worth noting that our 2nd Amendment right to bear arms does not extend to non-citizens, so simply requiring proof of citizenship at purchase would, at the very least, cost the drug lords more to procure weapons. Of course, to be of any real effect, there would also need to be a reasonably secure form of identification available, not the easily obtained driver's license. Will any means of deterrent (including making all guns illegal here) stop the drug lords from getting weapons? No. All you can do is make getting their weapons from the US more expensive. Make it expensive enough and they'll go elsewhere, but our Constitutional rights come first.

On another note, ABC's wording really stepped over the line when they said, "...Texas, the state providing the most weapons to the drug cartels...". Declaring, or even implying, without proof that a state is actively helping the drug cartels is low, even for the MSM.
