are smuggled into the country illegally from the US because its so easy for straw purchasers to buy in bulk south of the border without questions being asked.

The idiotic gun laws in the US are actually killing people internationally. I remember reading that Anders Breivik ordered the high-capacity ammo clips that he used from a US based supplier.

Even if we did nothing else, I'm sure it would keep many guns out of the hands of people who should never have one and that homicide rates would go way down. Good videos. Thanks for posting.
