Dems urge Obama to ban importation of assault weapons

MEXICO CITY (AP) - More than 50 U.S. lawmakers sent a letter to President Barack Obama urging him to enforce a ban on importing assault weapons.

The 53 lawmakers, all Democrats, say many such guns are later smuggled south to arm Mexico's ruthless drug cartels.

The ban was implemented under the administrations of President George H.W. Bush and President Bill Clinton, and the U.S. government can enforce it under provisions of the 1968 Gun Control Act.

But the lawmakers say in their letter that the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives has quietly abandoned the ban in recent years. The ATF declined to comment.

The ATF estimates that 90 percent of weapons seized in Mexico come from sources within the United States. Mexico has long demanded that the United States do more to stop the flow of weapons south, and Obama has pledged to step up those efforts.

Congress included $10 million in the economic stimulus package approved last week for the ATF's Project Gunrunner, which targets gun-trafficking networks in the U.S.

Mexico's drug violence has rapidly escalated despite President Felipe Calderon's deployment of 45,000 soldiers across the country to fight cartels.

I guess we're sending guns south of the border while they're sending illegal Mexicans north of the border...............
I think we're getting the short end of the stick.

Recently read that 17,000 Mexican army types have gone awol in the past yea, and most of them have taken there guns with them. Saw a picture of some of their army and all had Barrett M-82s. seing there m-16s and Barretts are made here I wonder why they are all traced back to the US.

Hmm, I thought from listening to my elementary student (and watching CNN) that all our problems are just caused by "us" as in if we just got rid of all the people, the world would be a great place...

Good point, Washington, Chicago, and New York are cool places, it's just the people in them that suck.
