6 months is way too short to send a message that providing guns to cartels or foreign nationals that CANNOT posses them is a real problem.
4 yrs. would wake them up.You cannot dedicate yourself to America unless you become in every
respect and with every purpose of your will thoroughly Americans. You
cannot become thoroughly Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. President Woodrow Wilson

I guess what confuses me is all three according to the article are 20 years old. The gun purchases are stated to have occured in 2008 thus making them 18 years of age at time of purchase.
How does an 18 year old go to a gun store and buy firearms from a licensed dealer if they were under 21? Did they use false ID's?
Am I wrong that Texas requiremets to puchase handguns is 21?"Where is our democracy if the federal government can break the laws written and enacted by our congress on behalf of the people?"

For the ATF to give a LATINO gun sales rights is a crime in itself?
