U.S. lawmakers are calling for tougher firearms laws after a report showed more than 70 percent of Mexico's drug cartel weapons originated in the United States.:

Do they REALLY think that a weapons ban is going to solve anything? Even if ALL of their weapons came from the US, don’t you think that the drug cartels will just, you know, find weapons someplace else?? 

The only way this violence is going to end, is with the end of drug prohibition. The reality is that it’s the very creation of this black market that these gangs thrive off of… Prohibition of alcohol taught us this in the 1920s: 

Prohibition was instituted with ratification of the Eighteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution on January 16, 1919, which prohibited the “…manufacture, sale, or transportation of intoxicating liquors within, the importation thereof into, or the exportation thereof from the United States…” Congress passed the “Volstead Act” on October 28, 1919, to enforce the law, but most large cities were uninterested in enforcing the legislation, leaving an understaffed federal service to go after bootleggers. Although alcohol consumption did decline, there was a dramatic rise in organized crime in the larger cities, which now had a cash crop that was in high demand.

So face the facts- this drug violence isn’t just going to disappear by banning assault weapons. Until drug trafficking is made essentially unprofitable (with the abolishment of drug prohibition) the crime organizations will continue to flourish.

Many Weapons used by Mexican drug gangs originate in U.S.:

A trio of Democratic U.S. senators called for tougher firearms laws and regulations after releasing a report that showed a large number of weapons used by Mexico drug gangs originating north of the border.

More than 70 percent of 29,284 firearms submitted to the U.S. Department of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms for tracing by the Mexican government during 2009 and 2010 originated in the United States, according to the report.

From a report about U.S. arms trafficking to Mexico, published yesterday by three Democratic members of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control (Feinstein, Schumer and Whitehouse).

In a June 9, 2011 response to an inquiry from Senator Feinstein, Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) Acting Director Kenneth Melson stated that of the 29,284 firearms recovered in Mexico in 2009 and 2010 and submitted to the ATF National Tracing Center, 20,504 were United States- sourced. A country of origin for the remaining firearms could not be determined by ATF.

The senators recommend a series of gun control measures, many of which would require legislative actions that — while perfectly reasonable — are not really likely to succeed in the current Congress.
