    Prices are put on human lives every single day.

    How much stricter could the firearm-related restrictions of the nation of Mexico possibly get?

    The number pales in comparison to the number that are smuggled in from other countries, including weaponry that is not available in the united states. The drug cartels of the nation of Mexico have access to rocket-propelled grenades, surface-to-air missiles, and anti-aircraft cannons. They have no need for the semi-automatic rifles that the people of the united states can own.

    Beyond that, such is grounds for increasing border security, rather than trying to enact new firearm-related restrictions in one country, to benefit another.

    Because public roads are created and controlled by government. It is a priviledge to use them, not a requirement.

    You are kidding, Mexico is unaffected by U.S. gun laws, as such, Mexico is a gateway for most of the Drugs comming into the U.S. and since most of the Guns going into Mexico are stolen, and not bought in Gun stores or the usual venues, so increased Gun laws would not prevent illegal trafficking of Arms of any kind into Mexico.

    Now bear in mind, there is a certain amount of Civilian Arms smuggled into Mexico by normal Citizens, these people bring those Guns into Mexico to supplement Civilian Arms that are next to impossible for average Mexicans to buy, there is only one Government run Gun store for the entire Country, and that is very expensive and restrictive, only a few Civilian calibers, no rifles, no concealed carry.
    A true Gun banners paradise.

    However, Mexico is very corrupt and many Government Officials are Armed and have private security.

    The Drug Cartels and Criminals are allowed to operate by the Mexican Government, as a source of income and pay the Police and Military handsome salaries.

    The Mexican Drug Cartels are Armed with Guns imported from various sources Worldwide as well as the illegal Drugs that flow freely, across Our Southern Border.

    This situation is truly Monstrous and has no easy solution such as more restrictive Gun Laws, here or in Mexico, or a huge wall, or cutting off trade with Mexico, is not a solution either,
    Subject for another thread.

    Wow, its been a while since I've seen anyone with the ignorance to use VPC as the basis for their argument.

    And you are wrong. The murder rate in 2008 (when Heller was decided) was 5.4 per 100,000 people. In 2016, the murder rate was 5.3. FBI Uniform Crime Reports

    As usual, you FAIL.

    VPC is a well known disinformation organ of the far left. IT includes suicides and felons (you know, people who cannot own guns legally no matter what the Supreme court has ruled) shooting people to pad their numbers. They cannot find evidence that legal gun owners-able to buy ONLY after Heller-are responsible

    "Shall not be infringed" is pretty unequivocal. If the people want limits, the Constitution should be amended to make such tactics constitutionally legitimate.

    There are even regulations I would support, provided they were enacted in the Constitutionally mandated manner.

    That is not how our system of government works and I doubt you could find 5 members of Congress to agree with you. Good luck. Lol

    If you eat in a Republican State ??

    Anyhow, that is just not true.
    California is predominantly Democrat and has a very high murder rate,
    As do most Democrat run States.
