    Mexico has no second amendment. No law-abiding Mexican citizen can own or carry firearms for self-defense.

    This has been Mexican law for decades.

    The result?

    Tens of thousands of murders in Mexico every year with a higher rate of violence than the average war zone.
    Not a single drug cartel member has any problem getting guns.
    The Mexican police roam the streets like an occupying presence.

    If we want to become more like Mexico, then we should follow Felipe Calderon's suggestion.

    Owning guns as private citizens did nothing to save the lives of those who died. I'm sure there were revolts, but your saying owning guns would have prevented what that monster did. Many did own guns, but it still didn't stop what happen. This country need stricter gun control laws and needs the ones that are on the books enforced with sever consequences for those who peddle in illegal distribution, illegal gun ownership, and crimes committed by those who own guns and those who don't but use them for crime. We need to enforce the law so that those who want to commit a crime will be so scared of the legal consequences of gun use, will prefer use a different weapon all together.

    Well, Komrade, I am no fan of Bush, DHS, or the TSA. 9/11 would have been a non-event if the passengers had been armed - regardless of who you think was the cause of the terrorism that day. Disarming citizens NEVER makes THEM safer. All it does is make the DICTATOR-du-jour safer FROM them.
    "Armed we are citizens, unarmed we are subjects." You run along and be a good little subject, now.

    Your country is facing the deadliest violence with guns and drugs, why not give yourself an advice of doing a better job so your violence is not crossing in to our country?

    Felipe should worry about the lack of jobs in his own country and the gun violence
    precipitated by the druglords................. In other words, he should mind his own

    If he wants to complain about anything it should be our drug culture that supports his big crime problem.

    Untill people can change that his gun troubles will last and grow. Liberals want to solve something, start with the dependency their '60's revolution threw gas on.

    If, every man and woman, by law, had to carry a gun. The odds of an ass hole shooting 70 people or "the American terrorist" trying to copycat would seem less appeal of an idea.

    That guy, the CO shooter, has to be muslim or something. He had over 20,000 dollars worth of gear and lots of bombs in his house. Bombs require training or you'll blow yourself up. Only a muslim will try to kill themselves after six years of college.
