Why Is Mexico Asking the U.S. Senate for a Registry of U.S. Gun Owners?

Why Is Mexico Asking the U.S. Senate for a Registry of U.S. Gun Owners?

Mexican lawmakers will ask the U.S. Senate to create a registry of all commercialized firearms in border states, which includes California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas. Mexico says it will make it easier to trace guns used in violent attacks.

The measure was reportedly approved on January 9 by Mexico’s Permanent Commission, a government entity that meets when Mexico’s Senate and the Chamber of Deputies is in recess. Gun owners in Arizona are calling the proposal “foolish” and an “invasion of privacy.”

Watch KPHO-TV’s report below:

CBS 5 – KPHO

A number of the gun owners interviewed by KPHO-TV also referenced the Obama administration’s disastrous gun-running operation known as “Fast and Furious.”

The operation, conducted by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), allowed illegal straw buyers to walk across the border with nearly 2,000 firearms, including semi-automatic rifles. The weapons ultimately ended up in the hands of Mexican drug cartel members and were used in a number of crimes, including murders and kidnappings.

Further, a gun from Fast and Furious was found at the murder scene of U.S. Border Agent Brian Terry in December of 2010.

Democrats in Congress have been calling for a ban on semi-automatic rifles and universal background checks for all firearms sales, some even calling for a national gun registry. Further, Democrats in Missouri and California have proposed bills that would result in the possible confiscation of semi-automatic rifles.

TheBlaze has reached out to several members of the U.S. Senate and will update this story as new information becomes available.

    I think many of you are missing the point.
    Aztlan, La Mecha, etc. are the 5th column.
    The goal is to use a lot of these people and the druggies as a distraction/shock troops.
    If the situation is suitable, they can establish a beach head and they think they will be able to hold it against the population. Against the population, because they have a fellow traveler in Obama and expect him not to fight for US property or people.
    I know this sounds tin foil hat level of paranoia but being a student of RECENT history, a Red Dawn scenario might be considered worth the risk by some of our enemies.
    Besides, if the real actor is China or Iran and they work through Mexico as a proxy, WHAT WOULD THEY HAVE TO LOSE?
    How many cartel members are in our major cities?
    I guarantee that they all have equipment far superior to the local cops, state cops, and probably most of the National Guard.
    Besides, they have some of the DoD’s best training. The Zeta’s weren’t the first that got our best and sold us out and apparently aren’t the last, since we’re training another batch of Mexicans as I type.
    You people down there in Douglas, Sierra Vista, Bisbee, Benson, Tucson, Phoenix, et al don’t have to worry about FEMA camps.
    I don’t think THEY are going to waste the fuel.

    I see no problem with the US providing what they are requesting…..as soon as they provide a listing of all of their citizens that have entered the US illegally….along with their current location!

    Another reason for never registering weapons and legalization of all drugs.
    How many more freedoms are we going to give up stopping idiots from killing themselves with drugs?
    Put free dispensories on a street corner in every city. If the children want ot start using, let them walk over the dead bodies to get it.

    That’s it, keep a close eye on registered gun owners. 90% of gun crime are vulnerables ganging the streets of LA and Chicago, but go after John Q. Idiots.

    The cheapest and most effective solution to border security; Announce world-wide that the next person to illegally cross our borders will be shot dead. Then do it and show it hourly on TV. Problem solved!

    Estimated cost…1 bullet@75cents

    This is one of the problems with Gun Control. List’s are created and now other countries are asking for a copy, and with our goverment will probably give to them. The creation of gun control list of owners provides a menu for disaster for Americans. A list of gun owners should never be created at any level, lest we compromise national security. One of the man reasons our country has never been invaded is the fact that other countries know America is well armed. To take this advantage away fromt he citizens open the door for more terrorism and possible invasion of our land, hence the national security issues. WHINNERS in America seeking to curb gun violence by removing fire arms from law abiding citizens need to recognize the WE DO NO LIVE IN FEAR,,, THEY DO! They cry oh woe is me about fun violence and think inking something on paper is going to stop a bullet is just paln stupid. Do they actually think ink on paper is going to stop the criminals from looting their homes or car jacking them? Are they really this stupid to think a criminla gives two hoots about another law on the books? The whinners need to stop trying to be the victim and start learning to defend themsleves, the moral decay which is brought on by these same WHINNERS is the very reason we need a gun in every home. I for one believe in the 2nd Amendment, and do not think whinny crying little scardy cats need to be trying to make us all a victim simply because they are to afraid to defend themselves.

      I agree with that, if the Border Patrol could just do the job they are hired to do and SHOOT anyone trying to enter illegally put it on the news showing in detail what will happen if ANYONE trys to enter this way. The problem would be solved. If the Mexicans don’t like the way their country is run, CHANGE IT, there is certainly enough Mexican citizens to overtake what is going on, stop expecting Americans to support you.
