The current gun-control laws of the US exempt police departments and government agencies from many of the restrictions that apply to normal citizens.
Therefore, new gun-control measures that would restrict what citizens can purchase or own would do nothing to curb this type of incident.
The Mexican drug war is Mexico's problem, not that of the US.
If the flow of guns to Mexico is really a concern of the Obama administration then they need to shut the border down completely with military force.
That'll stop the flow of guns completely.
They could also use the
TSA's new X-ray vans to scan every vehicle going south for guns.
I don't see this administration (or any politician in Washington) calling for the use of this technology on our border with Mexico--Why not?
The fact is the entire "river of guns to Mexican drug gangs" is the same tired old "guns-drugs, drugs-guns" line of crap the gun-control freaks were whining about in the 1980s.
The problem back then wasn't the guns it was the influx of illegal aliens, and that's the same problem now.
