The ATF, FBI, DEA, Cutoms all work with Mexico to help them with their problems down there. We have these abilities and they don't and simply because all the LSM reports is the handful of guns crossing the border into Mexico does not mean we are responsible for their cartel war nor does it mean we should change any of our gun laws. It does not also negate the fact that most of the weapons come in from other countries!
Your posting on this are getting quite lame.

This video is of an American woman that was as powerless as the people of Mexico when her parents were gunned down in front of her...

I have never said anything about wanting to change any gun law. All I am doing is posting articles and links to article of interest on this issue.
If you don't like them you don't have to read any of them. Any time I see an article that doesn't interest me, I don't read it. I don't try to intimidate the person who posted it into not posting any more just because I don't like it.
But I'm not sure that 7,000 guns from Mexico crime scenes that the A.T.F. traced back to gun dealers in the U.S. would be called a handfull of guns.

Seal the border, no drugs in, no money out, no supposed guns out either.

The solution is simple, sad this administration won't do the one act that will cure both the US's and Mexico's ails

If they would put our troops on the border and secure the border many of these problems would greatly diminish.

John, your message espouses a different view of that which you proclaim to hold. We should be very aware that people who want to take away our rights consistently utilize the "cause and effect" argument to further their agenda. For example, Mexico's drug war is so bloody because Americans give them guns...thus they try to direct you to what they would like you to believe is the only reasonable conclusion "we should take away guns in America and all the violence in Mexico and our borders will go away." This in fact is simply not the case and an outright deception by those who would impose their Anti American agenda upon the citizens of this country. These would be "do-gooders" for America rely upon an expected emotional response by those of us who are easily swayed by the MSM and other drivel spewed forth by our own government to achieve their unstated goal...more power to them, less power to the average citizen. Don't let them take away your right to keep and bear arms!! This would be a huge mistake for our country and one that we might recognize a little too late. We can't allow it to happen.

I have not seen or heard any politician or media person suggest that guns should be taken away from anyone in the U.S.
YOU are the one that I see saying that.
