Sen. Kerry makes push for tighter gun control

Senator Kerry is pushing for tighter gun control and he states he had been shocked to see killings and beheadings "just a stone's throw across the Rio Grande from where we're sitting this morning."


Once they get the gun control they so desperately want is he also going to push for tighter control of kitchen utensils? Afterall you could cut someones head off with a good quality knife from a butcher block.
 
If Mexico is holding the US responsible for weapons violations, why are we not holding Mexico responsible for drug smuggling.
 
If there is such a large problem with automatic weapons smuggling from the US, how will banning LEGAL weapons stop the smuggling of illegal weapons, obviously the people smuggling those weapons do not care about the laws anyway? Also I have read where Clinton has blamed explosive devices, namely grenades used in Mexico on US based gun runners, get caught with a grenade in the US and see what happens to you. If the problem is real here, what is stopping the flow of weapons from South America, where the Soviets were passing out AK-47s like candy to any country willing to say anything negative about the US. I would be willing to bet those stockpiles of weapons are not nearly as well controlled as they are here in the US.
 
If Mexico would tighten their borders and work more closely with US based immigrations and DEA officials the majority of the smuggling could probably be dramatically reduced. They would do well to look at the model used in Colombia.
