Inquirer Editorial: NRA lawsuit aids Mexican drug cartels - Philly.com: "Of all the crusades against gun control mounted by the National Rifle Association, its latest, against U.S. agents' efforts to combat gunrunning along the Mexican border, has to be one of the most harebrained ever.
Is the NRA really saying that it wants to defend Mexican drug cartels' right to arm themselves with U.S.-made semiautomatic rifles?
That's the implication of the gun lobby's legal challenge filed this week on behalf of two Arizona firearms dealers. The NRA lawsuit questions a new directive from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives that dealers must report bulk sales of specific semiautomatic rifles."

I monitor and analyze international press on Mexico, with a focus on security, immigration, human rights and social movements for peace and justice, from a feminist perspective. And sometimes I simply muse.
