The situation in Mexico has serious consequences for our Rights, and even our lives here in AZ and all along the Mexican border. We cannot emphasize enough how much it is in our interest to have a free, safe and prosperous Mexico as our neighbor. Many of us have family, friends there and they are our neighbor.

We strongly support the Human Rights of the Mexican people to be able to defend themselves. That means the Mexican people should once again have the rights and resources to possess, bear and use modern and effective firearms. As over 70 years of corrupt federal government and it's attending gun control have shown, the bumper sticker is so true. "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Mexico is a textbook example of the failures of gun control. While some very limited firearms are permitted on paper, and in practice, the real effect has been to disarm the good people of Mexico.
That was done by the very corrupt political party that ran a country rich in natural resources and people, into the ground to prevent a revolution, not to "control crime" as was the pretense.

As the archived reports will show, the defenseless people of Mexico have suffered way too much. They deserve much better. We need to help.

Given the gravity of the ongoing drug war in Mexico our neighbor to the south, ASR&PA has been working to monitor the border situation and it's many effects on our state and our members:

Including drug and human trafficking, with related issues of murders, kidnappings, home invasions, extortion, destruction of wildlife habitat, illegal immigration, white slavery, money laundering, expenses of incarceration and medical treatments, the list goes on and on. Also de facto cession of areas of the state to the DTO's; fugitives, cash, firearms and ammunition running south. Most of these issues could be significantly reduced by simply securing the border.

To get it out of the way, ASR&PA does support legal immigration, trade, and travel between our countries. Especially so that we and our Mexican neighbors can once again freely and safely travel to our neighboring countries for competition, training, hunting and just enjoy good company.

Among the weapons seized from the gang of drug traffickers are able to transfer some powerful armor and fragmentation grenades. In one of the pistols known as "cop killer." 
The war between cartels for control of routes into the United States and against the security forces last year left more than 5,700 deaths in the country, more than double that of 2007. Some of them appeared beheaded or dissolved chemicals in barrels. 
In September last year in the western city of Morelia, unidentified individuals threw grenades into a crowd that participated in the celebrations of Independence Day.

    La mayoría de los golpes al narcotráfico son al Cártel del Golfo
El cártel del Golfo y su grupo de sicarios "Los Zetas" son los mejores armados entre las bandas de narcotraficantes que operan en México, en medio de una descarnada guerra que ha dejado miles de muertos, dijo la fiscalía general.

El cártel del Golfo y su grupo de sicarios "Los Zetas" son los mejores armados entre las bandas de narcotraficantes que operan en México, en medio de una descarnada guerra que ha dejado miles de muertos, dijo la fiscalía general.
Un informe de la Procuraduría General de la República (PGR) sobre el tráfico de armas en México detalló que el cártel del Golfo y "Los Zetas", cuya sede es el norteño estado de Tamaulipas pero que operan en al menos otros siete estados, son las organizaciones con mayor "activismo delictivo y violento".
"A estas organizaciones se les ha asegurado el mayor número de armas de fuego y de características especiales por su versatilidad, potencialidad lesiva, alcance, penetración y volumen de fuego", dijo la fiscalía en el informe.
Entre las armas decomisadas a esta banda de narcotraficantes se encuentran algunas capaces de traspasar poderosos blindajes y granadas de fragmentación. A una de las pistolas se le conoce como "mata policías".
La guerra entre los cárteles por el dominio de la rutas hacia Estados Unidos y contra las fuerzas de seguridad dejó el año pasado más de 5,700 muertos en el país, más del doble que los del 2007. Algunas de ellos aparecieron decapitados o disueltos en sustancias químicas dentro de barriles.
En septiembre del año pasado en la occidental ciudad de Morelia, desconocidos arrojaron granadas contra una multitud que participaba de los festejos del día de la independencia.
En el ataque murieron ocho personas. Tres hombres fueron detenidos como supuestos autores materiales del hecho, atribuido a "los Zetas".
El cártel de los hermanos Arellano Félix, que opera en la ciudad de Tijuana, fronteriza con Estados Unidos, se encuentra en segundo lugar en cuanto al número de armas con características especiales que se les ha decomisado, algunas de ellas fusiles y lanzacohetes.
En el tercer sitio se encuentra el cártel del Pacífico o de Sinaloa, al que se le han decomisado armas cortas y fusiles de asalto de características convencionales y, excepcionalmente, lanzagranadas y granadas.
El cártel de Sinaloa es comandado por Joaquín el "Chapo" Guzmán, el capo más buscado de México.
