The shooting industry makes billions of dollars a year, can you imagine if it was entirely controlled by the drug cartels? If there was no real laws or limitation on the types of weapons you could own (since everything is verboten) the only law would be supply and demand. Just like drugs! OF COURSE they want to outlaw the guns, they want to control the market!

One question that I have — do we pay money to the Brookings Institute or other policy group? Seems that we could attack that funding. These people are spreading more crap than my manure spreader.

“There are many other sources apart from the US, from which the cartels or the trafficking organizations could acquire weapons,” Felbab-Brown told AFP.

So, despite even the left-of-center Brookings Institution’s acknowledgment of “other sources” for the firepower which is being obtained by the Mexican drug cartels, so much so that these drug cartels have even become a de facto insurgent militia of sorts within Mexico, the Brookings Institution and other members of the blame-America-first crowd still want new “feel good” gun laws in this country which will only serve to curtail our Second Amendment rights.

Are there any think tanks in Mexico which are part of the blame-Mexico-first crowd? If so, perhaps people from such an establishment could just openly declare that Mexico needs to stop being so corrupt, that is, if Mexicans really want that country’s internal problems to diminish. If not, perhaps it’s high time to set up a think tank such as this.

For years and years the American public has been screaming for Mexico to do something with its border. Now beyond the point with the weapons and whatever bullshit they are trying to pull; it is the height of hypocrisy for them to now start bitching and wailing about the flow of anything across the border when they fought us for years to keep that border open and keep our money flowing into their country. So when they are defecating their people and problems on our side of the border it’s not a problem, now that their corruption has come home to roost it is? PUHHLEEESE!

This whole thing is not just a fraud because of the gun issue, but because Mexico has been haven of corruption and vice for over a century. That corruption is evident from any conversations with them on this issue. The best thing that they could probably do now is wrap themselves in their flag and jump off a castle wall.

Granted, my travel in AZ was limited, and I didn’t see any *gun shops*, but I did see manyy shopkeep’s selling Black Powder firearms, and antique Rifles and Shotguns, which equates into not needing an FFL.

So my theory is that people are going into some random antique shop, looking at lamps, and noticing some black powder muzzleloaders and thinking that this shop is supplying grenades and machine guns to Mexico Drug Lords

Gotcha.
