A shame because I'm *just* old enough to remember when it was a premier destination...

Sounds like the plot for the next Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson movie...

that some want for the States. Really works well.

you know, the NRA types, willing to smuggle truckloads of assault-type weapons into Mexico, it makes it easy to commit atrocities such as this. Americans' penchant for drugs, and their unabashed greed, are the problem. Mexico is just another in a long line of the United States' victims.

Do some quantity of illegal Mexican guns come from the US? Sure. But unless you have data showing that number to be at all significant compared to stolen guns from Mexican police and military forces, along with guns smuggled from south of their own border, then you are just blowing smoke.

Newsflash: not everything is exclusively the fault of the USA.

I did my own research on the major importer of weapons into Mexico. You do yours.

I notice everyone who replied to my post completely disregarded the part about America's insatiable appetite for drugs, which are the overlying cause of all the death in Mexico. I suppose that's not America's fault either?

As far as "Newsflash: not everything is exclusively the fault of the USA"....... I never said it was. The U.S. does a lot of good around the world as well, but I'm not going to do your research into the causes of unrest in the world, either. The U.S. has done beaucoup dirty shit around the world in order to get what they see as divinely theirs. I'd shudder to see where the balance scale of good and bad would settle if both were weighed in the United States' participation in world affairs. I believe we'd all be shocked to see where that balance settled. And no, I'm not going to supply you with links to the dirty crap the U.S. has done in the past 200 years vs. the good it's done. It sounds like you're firmly entrenched in a "my country, right or wrong" attitude. I'm not. This country is capable of doing so much more to help the world, but selfishness seems to be the new "great American past-time".

However that is a lot different then "willing to smuggle truckloads of assault-type weapons into Mexico".

In addition to the guns from the U.S. they are also coming Guatemala and being stolen from the Mexican police & Army

You think massive quantities of weapons are pouring across the Guatemalan border? The United States's principal export are the tools of death.

Let's just agree that if the citizens of the U.S would curb their insatiable appetite for drugs, the need for these weapons wouldn't exist.

you do yours. And I noticed you completely disregarded the importation of massive quantities of drugs into the United States as the reason for all this violence? Ya' might want to do a little research on that subject as well.

Specific names, please. Thanks in advance.
