COMMENTS: Second Amendment Rights
ABC's Brian Ross and NBC's Mark Potter have both already covered the north-to-south angle of the Mexican narcoviolence story--not the drugs heading north from Mexico but the firearms heading south from the United States. Now Ben Tracy on CBS covers the trial of George Iknadosian, a Phoenix firearms dealer accused of knowingly selling more than 700 guns to so-called straw buyers for export to Mexico. Each straw buyer allegedly gets paid $100 for acting as a conduit. Tracy cited an estimate by the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco & Firearms that up to 2,000 guns are smuggled across the border daily. Mexico has no Second Amendment: its law "makes it nearly impossible to buy a gun there legally."
