Last monday, the presidents Barack Obama and Felipe Calderón held a reunion where they discussed about economy, immigration and public safety.
One of the main petitions of the mexican president was related to the U.S. Constitution's Second Amendment provision allowing Americans to keep and bear arms, according to sources as the Miami Herald and El Universal.
Calderón asked to President Obama and his administration, measures to controll the sell of weapons.
Until today there isn't something that specifies who buys what and in what volume.
The Mexican President said that on the border between the United States and México, they were around eight thousand gun shops where anyone could buy without investigation and the same applied to the exhibition, everyone was welcome and that was the door for the criminal organizations.
It's true, the citizens of the United States have the right to keep and bear arms but there is another idea : our liberty ends when we cross the rights of someone else. "Does a personal weapon has to be a AK-57 or an assault arm?" questioned Andres Oppenheimer of the Miami Herald.
The Mexican President, Felipe Calderón mentioned that the expiration of the assault weapon ban in the year 2004 during the administration of Geroge W. Bush took place in the same time when the violence in México rised.
