As you correctly point out, the problem is shared between both nations--a theme we have covered in our on-going series, Mexico Under Siege. Here's the link to the series: http://projects.latimes.com/mexico-drug-war/ You'll see we have had stories on the arms-smuggling problem and on many aspects of the Mexican government's declared campaign aganist organized crime. I know Tijuana quite well since I used to cover the border. I know you are seeing directly the results of this cross-border drug trafficking problem. Thanks again for writing, and for reading our coverage. > > Saludos, > > Ken Lo que no logro entender, como es posible que el gobierno de EU, no hayan reformado una ley sobre el verdadero control sobre los que se dedican a la venta de estas armas. En mi opinion muy personal, deberian de tener un registro de pruebas de balistica antes de que salieran al mercado.
