Senator Dianne Feinstein wants to toughen U.S. gun laws to prevent violence in Mexico. Tanya Snyder reports.
At a Senate committee hearing Tuesday, Feinstein recounted a recent meeting she had with the Mexican ambassador to the U.S.
"I have never seen deeper concern on an ambassador's face," she said.
At the ambassador's urging, Feinstein sent letters last week to President Obama and the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, urging them to take action against illegal arms trafficking. More than ninety percent of the weapons seized by law enforcement in Mexico come from the United States.
"A return to the import ban on assault weapons in accordance with the 1968 gun control act would prohibit the importation of assault weapons not used for sporting purposes," said Feinstein.
Drug-related violence in Mexico claimed more than 7,000 lives since the beginning of last year. Law enforcement is worried about increasing kidnappings in Phoenix and San Diego as well.

And she takes the ambassadors word for it. Prove that 90% of the illeagal guns come from the US. They won't even release the serial numbers for the ATF to check them.

I was going to say that Mexico is not her constituency, but a large portion of her voters probably are Mexican citizens....

Mexico wants us disarmed. Earier to invade that way.

ARRGGG!!!
The operative phrase here is "illegal arms trafficking!"
The American gun owner not involved in owning illegal guns nor involved in illegal arms trafficking!
Crack down on the law breakers Dianne! Get off you behind and empower law enforcement.

Typical liberal bullshit. Find (or create) a "bad" gun situation then pass a law that punishes everybody who DIDN'T do it!!

Dianne Feinstein is another of the fruits & nuts from California - she should be muzzled, loaded & fired! (Or some such order). She has as much integrity & common sense as Dodd, Frank, BHo, Biden etc. etc.
-
She wants our guns, let her send the illegals to pick them up!
Best reason I can think of for telling Mexico where to stick it is the fact they don't want us to be able to stop them at the border, and I do believe that we can call the waves of illegals crossing at this time an invasion.
