SCROLL DOWN to sign petition: Tell President Obama to Help Stop Gun Smugglers!
Over the last 5 years, nearly 60,000 people have lost their lives in Mexico’s drug-related wave of violence. More than 70% of the weapons seized in Mexico in the last three years and submitted for tracing came from the U.S. (Source: ATF) Watch Cuéntame/WOLA's video: U.S. Guns, The Awful, Shocking Truth:

TAKE ACTION AND SIGN BELOW!
President Obama has the power to help stop gun smugglers. We’re asking him to:
-
Enforce the existing ban on the importation of military-style assault weapons (because many of them are later illegally smuggled into Mexico);
-
Require gun dealers to report to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF) the sale of multiple assault rifles to the same person over a period of five days;
-
Strengthen legal enforcement in regions of the U.S. that supply the bulk of the contraband weapons smuggled into Mexico.
