Limiting Gun Sales a Good Idea

In response to Francisco Jaimes blog "Limiting Gun Sales"I would have to agree with you and the Obama Administration on limiting the sales of guns along the bordering states of Mexico.  I was born and raised in south Texas and have personally seen the effect of this drug war that is currently taking place.  It's not like the old days when you could cross the border into Mexico safely and make it home with no worries.  Times have changed and the war on drugs is growing stronger with every passing day.  I am a owner of firearms and know the responsibility that comes with owning a gun.  Limiting the sales of firearms will help slow down the smuggling of firearms into Mexico.  The last thing we need to have, is the Mexican drug cartel arming themselves with semi-automatic weapons giving them the upper hand on law enforcement.  The drug war in Mexico is going to be a never ending battle.  We need to do anything possible to help stop the war on drugs, limiting the gun sales in bordering states of Mexico is a good start.  Here is Francisco blog so you can read on what he had to sayhttp://talkinggovernment.blogspot.com/2011/04/limiting-gun-sales.html.
