Appreciated Ted:
However please note that not one of the socialist detractors in this thread has shown any concern that the charges are in fact true. Like typical leftists everywhere they don't let the truth stand in the way of their goal of enslaving the rest of us who desire to remain free.
I'll probably sign off here for now until the trolls crawl back under their respective bridges.

I was just sent this so I'm going to add it. Don't think the Obama administration is after your gun rights?
Read ON! The only actual reason the ATF would have to let American-sourced guns "walk" into Mexico is to provide facts in support of the Obama administration's ongoing effort to blame Mexican gun violence on American arms dealers, as justification for further infringing the constitutionally protected gun rights of American citizens. They have been putting out trumped up charges of U.S. blame for Mexican drug violence since they got into office, but their weak evidence hasn't stood up to scrutiny. So they decided to manufacture some hard evidence. It is the only logical explanation.
Where do Mexican drug-war weapons actually come from?
This from James G. Conway Jr., "a former FBI special agent and program manager of FBI counterterrorism operations in Latin America": On the surface, a cursory review of the high-powered military-grade seized weaponry -- grenades, RPGs, .50-caliber machine guns -- clearly indicates this weaponry is not purchased at gun shows in the United States and can't even be found commercially available to consumers in the United States. The vast majority of the weaponry used in this "drug war" comes into Mexico through the black market and the wide-open, porous southern border of Mexico and Guatemala. This black market emanates from a variety of global gunrunners with ties to Russian organized crime and terror groups with a firm foothold in Latin America such as the FARC, as well as to factions leftover from the civil wars in Central America during the 1980's. Chinese arms traffickers have managed to disperse weapons, particularly grenades, on the streets of Mexico. In addition, many of the Mexican military-issued, Belgian-made automatic M-16s currently in the hands of traffickers have been pilfered from military depots and the thousands who have deserted the Mexican army in recent years.
