The US Government and the National Rifle Association must stand up and stop the sale of assault weapons and guns to Mexican drug cartels, along the US border. This situation is a national security issue - more dangerous to US residents than the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.
National Rifle Association members who own guns stores and sponsor gun shows in border states are supplying 90% of assault weapons and guns used by ruthless and murderous Mexican drug cartels / gangs to kill civilians, soldiers and police officers.
There is a drug war going on in Mexico, which is spreading into the US towns around the country with kidnappings and killings on the rise. Drug cartels are ‘terrorist organizations’ and NRA members are supplying the weapons to them, because of lack US laws and enforcement. Tens of thousands of US bought weapons are being smuggled into Mexico, including versions of the AK-47, .50 caliber, assault weapons converted to full automatic and a Belgian made pistol the ‘cop killer’ – ‘mata policia’ (which bullets can penetrate bullet proof vests) are the cartels weapons of choice. Texas gun stores are the largest supplier of weapons to the drug cartels terrorists. NRA members are ‘war profiteers’ and this must stop.
A Mexican drug cartel, in Ciudad Juarez, a town across from El Paso,Texas, issued a warning that they would ‘kill a police officer every 48 hours’ and they killed a police officer and a jail guard, until the police chief resigned. He did - fearing more killings and didn’t want to risk his men – but the police officers are still at risk as the cartels are trying to take over police departments. Lists of police officers names have been left around towns – as a warning to quit – or be killed.
Over 2,000 law enforcement officials have been killed in Mexico during the last 15 months, 50 police officers in Ciudad Juarez. The NRA and US government must help stop the war – the violence – the killings.
With Spring / Easter breaks coming up, thousands of US citizens lives will be in danger as they vacation in Mexican resort towns – where violence is growing – in Can Cun homicides are up at an alarming rate. The US State Department has issued a travel warning about the rising violence. Students instead of dodging beach balls – maybe dodging bullets if they venture outside of protected hotel areas.
The National Rifle Association must use its influence on their members to stop the gun sales to Mexicans, and with Congress to pass an Assault Weapons Ban.
The US Government must stop the smuggling of guns into Mexico and Congress must pass an Assault Weapons Ban – or the Mexican drug terrorists will spread the war wider and wider into the US and place more US residents lives will be in danger.
US police departments - its Chiefs, the National Association of Police Officers, all police unions and associations, must stand up - in solidarity with Mexican police officers and demand and Assault Weapons Ban, and more money and officers to fight crime.
