Two Americans Dead in Juarez

via Dog Gone of Penigma.

This article about two American citizens who were killed in Mexico puts a spotlight on something I didn't know. Americans who live in Mexico come into El Paso each day for school or work.

Carlos Mario Gonzalez Bermudez and Juan Carlos Echeverri did this five days a week during the school year. Despite being U.S. citizens, the boys lived in the cheaper, crime-ridden Juarez, commuting into El Paso to attend local private Catholic schools. This is not uncommon of students in El Paso, Texas, as 20% of those at Bermudez's school did the same, according to the AP.
For years we've been arguing about how many of the guns in Mexico come from the U.S. In a similar way we keep arguing about how many so-called legitimate gun owners are really irresponsible and unsafe. My answer to both is TOO MANY.
