Chihuahua state prosecutor Patricia Gonzalez, who had worked closely with the US for years, said, “The basic ineptitude of these officials [who ordered the Fast and Furious operation] caused the death of my brother and surely thousands more victims.” Her brother, Mario, had been kidnapped, tortured and killed by cartel hit men in fall 2010. It was later revealed that his killers owned AK-pattern rifles traced to Fast and Furious.

I wonder if she's ever prosecuted anyone who ever touched a gun from F & F, or any other gun, for that matter. You should do a little research about 'justice' in Mexico.

One.

Two.

Three. (Probably a good place to start.)

Mexico's justice system has it's flaws. What I do not see at all is any partisan angle for them in our politics. What I do see is justified outrage from a country with serious problems.

Did you read any of that? 'Flaws'? Sure, they have a right to be mad that the ATF was enabling some guns to go across the border, but does Mexico provide any security of their own at the border? No. I've walked across the border where they have a sign that says guns are illegal, but I have never seen anyone searched, questioned, or even looked at. Have you ever heard of someone caught with anything going into Mexico? They don't have any kind of security on their side.

To be fair, you have fully acknowledged my main point. They do have the right. End of story. As far as their security goes, they are a tad busy with internal battles at every level. Many of the cartel weapons are American, BUT come by way of South and Central America. There is no RPG/grenade store in Texas. Many cartel weapons got loose from other Latin American militaries or governments. My gosh that nation needs help, not harm

I just don't see how we should hammer Mexico downwind of our own sins.

Maybe all export and production of guns from the US needs greater scrutinizing. Since they're getting into the wrong hands and all.
