Sometimes we have to think outside the box.

When we interdict ammunition of calibers that can be used in semi-automatic and automatic weapons in the US or at our borders, let these shipments pass through speciously.

Before we let the ammunition pass through we insert some rounds containing high explosives in the shipment that when fired in the weapons of these calibers render the weapon useless.

These “hot” rounds are intended for use by people who are definitely operating outside the law and specifically targeted at killers for the drug cartels in Mexico.

We can expect some “collateral” damage as such injuries to fingers, hands, and eyes who may or may not be engaged in some unlawful activity.

But this would be a chilling effect for those who use smuggled ammunition that is used to kill people.

DRUG LORDS DRUG LAW CRAZED AMERICAN GOVERNMENT

If the Gazans were more heavily armed with personal weapons, the Israelis would think twice before launching a ground invasion.

Gaza does make a good case that antiaircraft and antiarmour missles should be allowed to certain individuals, like in Switzerland.

I detect some implications here that legalizing the drugs will render the drug gangs obsolete.

What the hell will this do to Wackenhut and our burgeoning prison industry?  This is big, big, fairly recession proof industry we have going here. Let’s build more prisons!

Opponents of the drug wars must hate honest, American workers. If we decriminalized drugs, and thereby made obsolete and unnecessary drug lords to supply the illicit contraband, thugs would stop buying American-made guns and ammo. That’d mean fewer guns being sold and lost jobs in the guns and ammo manufacturing sector.

With this punk economy, we can scarcely afford to lose more jobs!

The answer is clear: ratched up our drug laws, thereby supporting the drug lords who furnish a service supplying American drug demands. In turn, the lords will keep using our guns and ammo to kill Mexicans, diminishing in the process the pool of potential immigrants, and they’ll need our our weapons and so keep our factories humming.

Win-win!

It’s A Question of National Security.

Every gun retailer on the US boarder should be immediately shutdown for 30 days.

All of these weapons in the retailer’s inventory should have a G.P.S. chip with a long life rechargeable battery in bedded in the weapon in such a way it cannot be removed. The weapon cannot be fired unless the chip is charged and fully operational.

Any firearm found to be without the above chip will either be destroyed or the barrel and trigger mechanism permanently welded closed and returned to the owner of record. There will be a charge of $1.00 for this service.

The whereabouts of the firearm will be know at all times. The chip will be so programed that if carried through a US border crossing an alarm will be activated. The cost of the chip and power source will be added to the price of the firearm.

The bolts and trigger assemblies should be removed prior to sale. The buyer can pick these assemblies up at a government operated agency for a minimal charge with positive identification of the recipient.

Reassembly of these parts to be done at an registered licensed authorized gunsmith. Again, this cost is to be borne by the owner.

Ten day waiting period . No multiple sales of any firearms. Only one firearm to be sold to any individual every 30 days.

All documentation pursuant to the above is to be in the English language.

Thanks for clarifying Blackspeare.  I just have a hard time with someone telling me I cannot legally own or have the same thing a criminal can use against me. I also agree that our drug laws are “draconian” and should be changed.  I think California is moving in the right direction by putting the legalization of weed on the voters block.  All states could be so lucky

DMFD…

“You know, the government and criminals prefer unarmed peasants.  Your thoughts?”

I never said I am opposed to fire arm ownership——just military assault weapons which fit a very narrow category.  If you want to protect family and property the best weapon is a shotgun, using 12 gauge ammo.  These weapons are quite formidable, affordable, and effective——just the report alone is scary.  You don’t need an AK-47!

The violence won’t stop until we end prohibition.  The violence can’t stop until we end prohibition.  Boy, you’d think we’d have learned that lesson by now.  The problem here obviously isn’t gun control, it’s the availability of profits in the drug trade.  You can restrict weapons all you want, with those billions of dollars in untaxed profits, those weapons are getting through one way or another.  With the amount of money these gangs bring in, handling the appropriate payoffs probably take about as much effort as getting a cup of coffee in the morning.

Plus, the most violent drug gang in Mexico was trained by the US.

Los Zetas were “originally members of the Mexican Army’s elite Grupo Aeromóvil de Fuerzas Especiales, trained in locating and apprehending drug cartel members. It is believed that they were originally trained at the military School of the Americas in the United States.[6][7] Also, they were trained by foreign specialists, including Americans, French, and Israelis, in rapid deployment, aerial assaults, marksmanship, ambushes, small-group tactics, intelligence collection, counter-surveillance techniques, prisoner rescues and sophisticated communications.”

Hmm, let’s see.  Risk your life and well being fighting drug cartels at normal salaries.  Or protect said cartels and traffic your own drugs for enormous profits.  Must have been a tough choice for those elite forces we trained.

There is no military solution to the drug war.  Nor do the vested interests in it want the drug war to end.  Shame it’s come at the expense of the safety of Mexicans, Columbians, Venezuelans, Bolivians, Americans, and many others.

You did read the part about civilian’s (law abiding) having to go through the military for approval to get a firearm didn’t you?  Doesn’t look like the bad guys are following the rules.  Imagine that.  If these law abiding citizens had a means of protecting themselves maybe fewer of them would be getting killed by these drug cartels.  Hell, the damn cops won’t even stand up against them.  Tell me Blackspeare, if you lived there would you want to be able to protect yourself?  You know, the government and criminals prefer unarmed peasants.  Your thoughts?

Last time I heard about Mexico and guns, it was that cheap Chinese-made assault rifles were being smuggled into the U.S. via Mexico in spite of their supposedly stringent gun laws.

But maybe the problem with these gang wars in Latin America isn’t insufficiently restrictive U.S. gun laws, maybe it’s the overly restrictive U.S. drug laws, which make drug smuggling such a profitable business.  Or is the idea of a powerful, intrusive government just to attractive to abandon?

Every household needs an assault weapon capable of automatic fire.  You never know when those squirrels in your back yard are going to mount an all out attack!

Keeping our nation crime free is our first national priority and we should all share in that responsibility. Every eye should be open and every ear should be listening for illegal activity. Generous monetary rewards can be given to those that report a crime. It would give every honest person the chance to earn some extra money. In time locks and keys would be thrown in the junk yard and we would become a nation of honest people.

To win our long US holey war against certain drugs we should send a strong message by initiating round the clock carpet bombing of Mexico, Canada and California.
