american=suppliers of weapons & mexico=buyers of weapons

Yeah, weapons are coming from the US, thanks to Eric Holder and Fast and Furious.

@SuperTowlie420 Bull-feathers they were not going to be able to "track" them until they were siezed then they could be annilized to see how many crimes they had been used in. This was all bogus Eric Holder is a notorious gun grabber. He wanted to blame american gun dealers so he could shut down sales of guns to Americans. He got caught. Force will only raise drug prices and encourage more people to join the cartels we must legalize and take the profit out of the crime.

@MEXICANO0311 The guns get sent down there. Then the Mexicans get pissed. Then they blame Americans. Then they ban Guns in the States. That was the goal. Problem was some BATF agents turned in some other BATF agents for shipping the guns down there. Problem is the guy in charge of criminal investigations in the states Eric Holder is probably the guy who ordered it. So he's not gonna investigate himself and congress and the president sure as hell ain't gonna.

It's BS, especially the 70-90% (depending on which anti-gun person you're talking to) of the "traceable" weapons are from the US. The black market is kindof notorious for providing guns that can't be traced. It costs 10's of thousands of dollars to get a full auto gun legally here in the US. Contrasted by the $15-$20 (plus tax tags and freight) to get one in lets say Somalia. If mexico was to secure their southern border where the real weapons trafficking is going on I'd take him seriously

@jw11432 This guy is a moron, I agree, but you have no clue why Mexicans go to the US. After all, why leave one shithole (Mexico) to go to another shithole (USA)?

Drugs have nothing to do with it, it's got to do with a twisted and sick free trade policy that's choking the agricultural and labor economy in Mexico.

[MEXICANO0311]

Both of the fucking goverments need to stop fucking playing mexico sending drug and us sending guns. i dont get this why is us sending guns to the cartels if the poor ass indians dont know how to use them they get kill and the mexican army takes them making the mexican army better tec and all the shit.

[SuperTowlie420]

its because the ATF was trying to monitor exactly where weapons were being bought and how were they getting to Mexico into the hands of cartel members. The drug cartel is the invader and all types of force should be used to repel the enemy.

[jw11432]

apparently this man has never heard the phrase "it takes two to tango". if we buy and they sell, or we sell and they buy, that is a 50% responsibility. no ones forcing mexicans to buy weapons or sell drugs. instead of pointing fingers, maybe try putting in measures to rebuild the country of mexico, economically and socially, and reform it from the shit hole it is, and i bet the people wont be as eager to leave to come into the us anymore. this guys a stupid prick.

this guy has shares in the drug cartels and collects his dividends every quarter. He is a drug venture capitalist
