Professional Soldiers ® - View Single Post - As Mexico drug violence runs rampant, U.S. guns tied to crime south of border

This is a Coalition to Stop Gun Violence/BATFE planted story.

The fact is that the majority of all weapons WHICH ARE TRACED come back to US dealers.

The ones from Guatemala, El Sal, Cuba, North Korea, China, etc., which comprise the majority of the weapons seized, DO NOT RESPOND TO THE TRACE REQUESTS.

Since we are the only ones who keep records and trace weapons, obviously, the majority of the ones traced are ours.

The semi-auto rifles, shotguns, and pistols might be legally US purchased, but then turn out to be straw man sales. Why not track down the purchasers and put them in jail for a very long time, instead of deporting them to start all over again? If the records indicate that Jose has purchased more than a few firearms per month for an extended period, maybe you should look more closely at Jose instead of blaming his dealer, who has to follow the laws.

The frags, machine guns, grenade launchers, etc. are not sold from normal gun stores in the US. Those transactions, which are legal for private citizens in some states, still have to go through the BATFE approval process.

US firearms laws are not the cause of the Mexican drug violence.

US drug consumption MIGHT BE a causative factor.

I do not expect the WaPo to report those facts fairly and impartially.
