#1 I have no problem with the Mexican authorities doing thorough searches of people crossing the border.

#2 I'm sure all the gangs and outlaws will comply with a U.S. ban on guns. After all they wouldn't want to do anything illegal would they?

#3 Maybe Mexico needs to be an austure Peoples Republic for a few years with land reform etc...

#4 It's a good thing that Columbia eradicated its cocaine cartel problems so long ago. How, even, did those cartels become powerful in the first place, without the USA to supply weapons? I suppose the best thing we could do would be to impose lots of gun restrictions which would totally solve the drug problem. Hooray!

#5 How about all those weapons being sold by Mexican police to the drug gangs. Can we maybe talk about those guns first?

Or how about changing Mexican extradition laws so that Mexican nationals who violate US laws can be sent here and tried for their crimes. Can we talk about that?

No? Just taking guns away from law abiding US citizens? Only option? Nope. No hidden agenda here.

You'd be the first to complain about sovereignty if the countries were reversed.

#7 B-Piddles:

Here's a list of countries that the US has extradition agreements with:

Next time you are feeling all smug talk to someone in LAPD about the number of annual murders committed by Mexican nationals who then flee back to Mexico to escape prosecution. Then just for giggles go ask the Federalis about the reverse numbers.
