At gun shows in these states, there is even less regulation. Private sellers, unlike licensed dealers, are not obligated to record the buyer’s name, much less report the sale to the A.T.F." In as much as ALL weapons transfers are regulated by the BATFE (a federal agency) and dealers are required to have FFLs (a federal firearms license), I have a difficult time believing that the government doesn't know. As far as all my experiences with purchasing weapons, they have always required a licensed dealer and paperwork. I'm calling BS on these statements. “In Texas, New Mexico and Arizona, dealers can sell an unlimited number of rifles to anyone with a driver’s license and a clean criminal record without reporting the sales to the government.

Further, they described the weapons used as: grenade launchers, machine guns, and armor piercing bullets. Somehow I have trouble believing I could walk into a gun shop in Texas on the Mexico/Texas border without a legal US ID and buy a grenade launcher or a machine gun!

Which of course is our fault. Whereas the gun violence in Mexico is a problem of supply. Which, lo and behold, is our fault again. Nailed it!
