Washington, D.C. – U.S. Senator Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif.), Chairman of the Senate Caucus on International Narcotics Control, along with Senators Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) and Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.) today released the findings of a Congressional investigation that concludes American military-style weapons are arming Mexico’s brutal drug trafficking organizations at an alarming rate and policymakers are not adequately responding.

Conclusions of the report:
(note, they're called recommendations in the PDF....agendas, how do they work?)

It will be very difficult to successfully reduce drug-related violence in Mexico without starving the country’s drug trafficking organizations of their military-style weapons.

To do this, the United States must strengthen current firearms laws and regulations. This can be done through a number of key actions by the Obama Administration and Congress, including:

1.Enactment of legislation to close the gun show loophole;

2.Better enforcement of the existing ban on imports of military-style weapons;

3.Reinstatement of the expired Assault Weapons Ban;

4.Reporting by Federal Firearms Licensees on all multiple firearms sales; and

5.Senate ratification of the Inter-American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking of Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives and Other Related Materials (CIFTA).






Odd how the PDF contains a "Conclusion #6", but it is omitted from the webpage:

6. Expand access of eTrace to include the Mexican federal police.


Looks to be a convenient avenue for Mexican officials to obtain names, addresses, etc of US gunowners.

Fascism, how does it work?
