Maybe instead of putting up billboards, they should just contact Eric Holder and ask him to stop shipping them in.

Tell you what Felipe', you send back one gun that you can prove came from the U.S., we'll send back 100 illegals that we can prove are illegal.  Keep making that trade.  You'll run out of guns before we run out of illegals.

The Roman Empire fell due to a large, corrupt government, overspending, an overextended military, insecure borders, and the illegal immigration of Goths, barbarians (anyone who was not educated), and religious fanatics. Sound familiar?

Yeah I wonder how much money Holder personally made off sending all the guns over there ! Probably a boat load of money. There is not telling how many times they were trading back and forth ! Shows you how much this government is corrupt beyond belief!

He is asking the wrong people. Those of us who are just normal every day American citizens are not the ones trafficking guns, the cartels and our government are the ones doing that.

Calderon might first try explaining where are the $3,000,000,000.00 (last five years)  in guns that the US has provided to his police and armed forces.

Even CBS News has recognized that the Mexicans are losing their own weapons faster than the US can replace them:

Seriously, the legalization of dueling would end political pandering and solve political corruption in the State

This just in!

Imprisoned members of the hyper-violent Zetas drug cartel stabbed and bludgeoned 44 members of the rival Gulf cartel to death and then staged a mass escape, apparently with the help of prison authorities, officials in northern Mexico said Monday.

I wonder if we are responsible for the blunt instruments and make-shift knives as well. The Mexican government is simply incapable of managing their own affairs and must pass blame somewhere, so it may as well be on U.S. citizens.

I guess any time the prison warden's official title is "dictator", everything is downhill.

IT IS.

  There are huge signs at most border crossings.  I've personally seen them crossing into Metamoros and Tijuana.  I guess the problem was they were written in English (They actually were). LOL

This is the dirty little secret heart of it all, that (historically at least) the media never wants to talk about.  Mexican criminals aren't getting fully automatic weapons from U.S. gun shops. That's just absurd.
They're getting them from their own police and military - either sold outright, or by way of defectors bringing their issued rifles with them.

And while it's true these are American-made and American-supplied weapons, they actually come straight from manufacturers and each deal is signed off by the US dept of State.  i.e. they're not coming from gun shops, or everyday americans.

If Mexico doesn't want any more American guns, then STOP asking for them, and STOP BUYING THEM.
