NEW YORK (Reuters) â€" The powerful National Rifle Association (NRA) should be helping the United States and Mexico stem a flow of U.S. guns to Mexico's drug war, Mexico's top diplomat in Washington said on Wednesday.

Arturo Sarukhan, Mexico's ambassador to the United States, said the NRA needs to help combat the illegal trafficking of guns into Mexico by educating American gun owners and sellers about how it threatens security in Mexico.

I don't know where those guns are coming from, but I know they don't come from law abiding citizens. The NRA has no business in this. Mexico should police their corrupt country and stay out of ours.

Just more misdirection from the media.

Now where a tap-dancing/whistling smiley when you need it?

The NRA said the United States has adequate laws to address illegal gun sales and trafficking and that Sarukhan was trying to blame the United States for a problem that was Mexico's fault.

"It is wrong for him to blame the second amendment and the National Rifle Association for a problem that originates in his own country," NRA spokesman Andrew Arulanandam said. "This is a very serious and sad situation but the solution has to come from within Mexico."

I have not seen any evidence of a "flow or iron" into Mexico from the US. Has anyone else?

Yeah, we've just got to stop these straw purchases of grenades and RPGs.

Six months ago, a smuggler's car was seized with a highly sophisticated communication system superior to anything the deputies have in their vehicles. And last year, deputies found a modern baseball-style grenade along a dirt path leading up from the river. They believe someone running security for a load of drugs dropped it. Deputies have also gathered information on smugglers armed with an RPG-7, a shoulder-fired rocket, and white phosphorous grenades.

They need to look at the Mexican military more so than us...
