Wrong! It has not been proven that the firearms that the Mexican
federalies confiscated were bought in the US. That's because the Mexican
officials won't allow US BATFA personel to examine them. So we have to go
on the word of a corrupt government official as to their origination.
(This means that Hilleray Clinton and the O'bama are lying to us about the
orgination of those weapons)

Not only are the Mexican cartels using so called assault weapons, but
those weapons are full automatic, which as you may or may not know,
requires a 'machine gun' license from the BATFA to purchase and own those
weapons in the US. No licensed person would purchase machine guns and then
allow them to be found anywhere else but his own gun vault, because he
would end up in jail.

If you're a law abiding citizen of Mexico, your chances of buying a legal
weapon is nil to none. Mexicans cannot legally own firearms. This isn't to
say that the ordinary citizen doesn't have them, just that what they have
are illegal for them to have.

They don't.

With all of the violence south of the border and the same north of it, in
moderation, so much for gun control, eh...

 LL> Like Mexico, Canada shares a border with the USA.  So why the gun
 LL> violence in Mexico but not in Canada?

In Mexico, there are two class' of citizenry, those who have and those who
have not. The have-nots wipe their ass with one sheet of cheap toilet
paper, if they can afford to buy it (they usually don't have modern
plumbing, so this one-sheet method keeps what they do have from clogging).
The upper class uses a bidet and a towel. The lower class eat beans and
tortilla' while the upper class eat high on the hog. The lower class buy
cheap clothes made in Mexico, while the upper class buy clothes imported
from France. This could go on to make a long list of differences between
the peons and the upper crust in Mexico.

In Canada, I doubt they have it so bad and so they're more complacent with
the status quo.

Joy lives in the fight, in the attempt, in the suffering involved, not in
the victory itself.
