Well, like it or not, it is a sovereign nation and it has laws, amongst those laws are laws against importing fire arms. They are sick of Gringos bringing guns down. The whole story is a bunch of propaganda and I'm surprised there was no mention of swine flu. First off, all of the cartels get all of their weapons from the US and a large portion of them from the US government. Some fucking Marine he served with is quoted in this story and no Mexican official is quoted, nor is the Mexican law quoted. You slurp this shit up and say "fuck Mexico"...
Let me tell you what the average Mexican knows that you don't, the Zetas are just the CIA, the drug war is fueled by US demand and has cost Mexico 60,000+ lives in the last decade, and now you fucking assholes are legalizing this shit. How can you expect Mexico to foot the bill for military eradication? Guns are illegal in Mexico, this story would have you believe that US officials gave him a form to fill out. They don't take applications for exceptions to Mexican law and you don't go up to a Mexican cop and tell him you have committed a very serious crime. I have heard of people getting years over a single bullet.
