Petition: Tell Obama To Stop The Flow Of U.S. Guns Into Mexico

There is a new petition, by Cuentame and their site, Gunwar.org, demanding that the President do more to stop the flow of guns from the U.S. into Mexican drug lord hands.  The gun lobby viciously opposes any and all measures to stop the flow.  It's up to the American people (from both countries) to demand better control.

Please go to the site and sign their petition, then share it.

Their video tells how these sales happen, through unreported bulk sales, straw purchases, and lack of accountability.
