Trafficking Guns to Mexico from - FOXNews com

FOX News corrects the recklessly incorrect and misleading misinformation in the media about firearm trafficking to mexico. "90 Percent of illegal firearms in mexico come from the US" - This is a very incorrect statement.
The truth is that the majority of the firearms being used by the cartel are not from the US because they do not have traceable identifiers. A very small percentage of the arms come from the US

There's another news story:

watch?v=3K-EnmiXYfA

Now tell me that the law abiding gun owners of the US should be punished, and have their rights trampled on, by the very people who are smuggling the guns!

I know many collectors who have lots of AK's and other firearms, There are people with lots of money, who have galleries in their house to display historical firearms. Just as not all Muslims are terrorists, not all gun owners are smugglers and drug runners! Focus on the problem people.

I am a mexican, and I believe We must create here in my country another "special operation"; It will be called "Rapido y Furioso" and its purpose will be to get ALL the cocaine tons We confiscated and send them to YOU " undercover ", just to see what happens, and how far this cocaine might go into the US. how would you like that ??????? We wouldnt be trying to kill thousands of americans from overdozing, We would be trying to catch the bad guys who buy our cocaine!!!!

[fargley001]

If you look around youtube you'll see operation "Rapido y Fruioso" is in full effect... Your government is already permitting the smuggling - there's big business in that. I'm simply stating that if you take the revenue out of the equation, you'll kill the black market. The whole reason why drugs are a lucrative market is that our government(s) have driven the prices VERY high by limiting supply, and those who can conduct this illegal business. History supports my viewpoint.

[fer gar]

you are COMPLETELY WRONG mister, this was an american undercover program, they NEVER informed mexican authorities about it, as a matter of facts, right now our senate are discussing how to AVOID that US does things like that in the future. WE are not your playground, YOU ARE NOT supposed to damage your neighbor. Right now I have NO respect for your programs, institutions or politicians, THEY simply don´t care for Mexico.

[fargley001]

I am not wrong. This particular incident is 1 of many. You're foolish to think that your government is not party to the drug smuggling - MX is filthy with corruption. If I were a citizen of MX I would hold my politicians accountable for border security, and for catering to American interests.

.

And in case you have overlooked my previous message, I dont support the War on drugs, and intervention in Mexico. If I had my way, there would be a South Korean style DMZ on the border.

[fer gar]

ohh and if this that you said "I am not wrong. This particular incident is 1 of many" about your goverment smuggling guns into my country.... then PLEASE close the border, maybe that way We would be safer from our "friendly neighbor". We dont want your "Gun smuggling programs".

[fargley001]

There's almost no point in my continuing this dialog with you. For what ever reason, being voluntary or involuntary, my message is not getting through to you.

I have no hostility towards MX, or you for that matter. You can blame your violence on whomever you wish to. The reality of the matter is that the US is not the root of all your troubles. MX has some blame here too. Regardless, this problem is a government issue. God bless, and good luck to you. Be safe.

Thanks for the posting. This will be handy when Holder opens his mouth about gun control again.

Most likely the automatics are finding their way from Hugo Chavez --

[RestrainedNoMore]

This administration will do all it can to strip us of our rights!

[Billy Bob Mirango]

what is wrong here is the assumption that all weapons with id taken off are NOT American. This is absurd. Where are the news clips showing non-US trafficed weapons being intercepted by Mex/US forces? Where are the many NEWS clips showing Chinese AKs stopped at the Guatamalen border? BS! The US is oversupplied and oozing with guns and the Mexicans want and get them

[yumi mango]

Winchester.

[bravowhiskey223]

The Mexican drug cartels would rather have the US be chasing guns than drugs.

key point: having limited law enforcement units chasing guns the more drugs they can smuggle across the border.

[CrocoDuck420]

Oh yeah the drug cartels are going to go through all the trouble of smuggling weapons from the states when they could easily buy crates of AK47 Variants and China and other countries that sell in bulk and don't give a fuck about who they sell to. Also where do you think they're getting all those grenades and Rocket Launchers from, Remington?

[nuevolaredodenuncia]

Yes they should, that is how laws are created in this country a stupid teenager rollover his pimp up truck in Texas and now all of us who want to lift our trucks we have to get especial permits and pay a bunch of taxes, well some idiots sold guns to mexico all of you trigger happy idiots should pay for there mistake

[99cacahuate]

i don't think that will happen, mexico does not has the gringo mentallity.......

[99cacahuate]

gringos will love that!!!! DRUGS is a big time business for the states....do you thing gringos want to get rid of drugs????? NO, drugs are a round business for them.....EVER HEARD OF CIA, FBI OR ATF?? well they are all the same crap.....

[Yojimbo707]

Cuba is a narco-communist regime with a debt with Mexico! and needs to pay or it will be intervened and annexed!

[99cacahuate]
