Curtail Firearms Trafficking to Mexico to Stop Fueling the Violence There and Prevent Its Spread to the US.

Created by A.F. on September 26, 2011

Use existing legislation prohibiting the importation of weapons not for sporting purposes - and assault weapons aren’t for sport - to stem the flow of firearms to Mexico from the US.
These 3 actions don’t require Congressional approval:
-Immediately detain and prohibit the importation of assault weapons to the US, because many of them are sent as contraband to Mexico.
-Order dealers to report to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) the sale of multiple assault rifles to the same person over a period of five days.
-Increase the regulatory capacity of the ATF in those regions of the United States that supply the weapons contraband to Mexico, especially in border states.
