Do you have to ride the short bus to get to Congress?

Legislators in Southwestern states concerned about drug violence in Mexico spilling across the border recommended tighter gun control and stronger law enforcement yesterday.

Let's tighten gun control along the border and make it harder for U.S. Citizens to get guns and ammo to defend themselves from drug violence coming over the border. Why? Because of the unproven assertion that the machine guns and grenades being used in the ongoing drug war are being sold by gun shops in the southwestern states. Why would a drug lord on Forbes list of billionaires buy from local gun shops when bribes to the Mexican police and military have oh much less paperwork?
