Mexico violence prompts new look at US gun laws

Diaz also says a 1930s gun law can be used to regulate imports of .50-caliber rifles also used by the cartels. Federal officials say about 90 percent of guns seized in Mexican organized crimes came from the U.S.

Yeah, they keep saying that, and yet I haven't heard any of them yet be any more specific than to say they're coming from the US.

I can understand being concerned...after all, we just got out from an admin that wanted to do much, much more than regulate firearms.

But I'd gladly recomsider if you could point me to some evidence beyond the gut feeling of someone who doesn't like guns or think a lot of gun owners.


First of all you might be right...you might be wrong as well.

As for what I think of gun owners, you have no idea.


No? You don't think you might have given just a glimpse in your posts in theis group?


You're being disingenuous. The point is that you want to treat all gun

"If the serial numbers are on these guns the ATF can trace them back to the dealer/wholesaler.
