Of course, there are guns available in Mexico provided by the US government. If you are a murderous drug lord, we will happily sell you any gun you want.

Point of fact: The clue here in this statement is identified! The United States is the only country which requires serial numbers on guns and all their components. In addition, I cannot honestly remember the last time I walked into Bob's Gun Store and bought full automatic weapons and RPG's! These are military grade weapons and are coming from former Warsaw Pact countries who sell their arms to anyone. Also it is much more likely (and has been proven many times over) corrupt Mexican officials are selling their countries military grade weapons to drug cartels to line their own pockets!
Now do I think some guns purchased in the US make their way to Mexico? Yes of course! There are the occasional 357's, 45's and 9 mm's, along with various rifles making their way across by unscrupulous persons and this should be stopped! But this is a mere fraction of what is flooding Mexico due to players like China who is the chief manufacturer of the much vaunted AK 47!
Now on to Fast and Furious! Our Commander in Chief and his incompetent Attorney General Eric Holder. By letting guns walk into Mexico they allowed dangerous weapons into the hands of drug lords, Mexican citizens killed as result and more importantly Border Patrol Agent Brian Terry killed by a weapon they allowed to cross! Holder can't even say the name of his own agent in testimony nor does her show any sign of remorse over the death of this fine agent! This was a travesty and Holder needs to be prosecuted and fired over his handling of the entire affair! Furthermore he has continued to perjure himself in front of congress and conspired to deceive and obstruct the investigation on all fronts!
All I have put forth to this point is verifiable fact and can all be researched very easily. But as I write this I also want it to be known I firmly believe this entire sordid venture was engineered to back door our second amendment rights and allow the government to severely limit or perhaps even take away our sovereign right to own and carry firearms as citizens of these United States!
Remember! The second amendment is the one amendment that protects all the others and your ability to keep them! Because a government should have a healthy fear of its citizenry!
Also here's a little something to ponder as well:
