Mexico says US fuels gun crime

Mexico's government complains about guns and cash coming from the U.S. into Mexico. Okay, how about a border with a guarded divide and custom agents who are allowed to do their jobs instead of being persecuted... er, prosecuted... for doing their jobs?

Guns don't go into Mexico; drugs and illegals don't come out of Mexico. Seems reasonable, so why the resistence?

Mexico says US fuels gun crime

Mr Sarukhan said cartels were buying from US border gun shops

Mexico's ambassador to the US has urged America to stop the flow of guns and cash that pass into his country, fuelling the country's drug wars.

Arturo Sarukhan said US money and weapons provided the drug cartels with the means to "corrupt, bribe and kill".

President Barack Obama is due to visit Mexico later this week.

More than 6,000 people died last year in Mexico in drug-related violence and Mexico believes 90% of the weapons used by drug cartels come from the US.

US gun lobby groups dispute the figure.
