So, "thank you," City Council, for accepting the blame for America causing the cartel wars in Mexico. If this "Caravan of Accusers" wants to do something about the deaths in Juarez and throughout Mexico, then take their issues up with the Mexican authorities. America did not make Mexico's strict gun laws which prevent Mexican citizens from being able to protect themselves from gangsters and thugs. Our City Council has no business getting involved, or even considering, more gun laws. The Constitution clearly defines in the Second Amendment that we citizens of this great county have the God-given right to defend ourselves (yes -- gasp!) with guns. The only thing the criminal respects is an armed intended victim. Bill Holmes West El Paso - --- MAP posted-by: Jay Bergstrom
