Disclaimer & comment rulesa good start will be to incriminate companyes and make them finacially liable for the sale of ilegal weapons in a given nation, for example any weapon used in crimes will be returned to the nation of origen with a charge 10 times the retail cost of a given weapon and with it a request for the information showing the buyers of said weapon leading to an international criminal prosecution. if this companied refuse to pay up and provide information then they could be legally prosecuted for being acoplices of the crimes commited with said weapon. can you imagine the income from these proceedings for nations having to fight terrorist organizations and organized crimes ? when I see the bill pass in their congress I might believe there is inteligence in this service, untill then we are going to have to belive that Al-CIA, mossad, AL-MI6 or some other gang of violent revols are going to use this services for their own selfish murderous gains..in my opinion this is just a temporary charade indictive of the times we live in.

You blame the person who's hand it was in.

He does not care who, outside of Argentina, gets killed or hurt: he even encourages the indiscriminate killing of those HE perceives as enemies, particulary those, like you, who live peacefully on the Falklands.
@2 lol no one sayd the gun commited the crime this is why I am eager to get the information leading to the criminal, it is up to the individual company to deside if they want to share guilt or give up the criminals. I just want to make those protecting criminals pay for their deeds, I think all country knows who bought a car and how much taxes you pay , guns should be nooooo different unless you are a terrorist who doesn't want the government to know, I have nothing against hard working people, not even lazy people, but I am against guns and the people who sell them, maybe Africa should put poisson or put bio-chemichals in your food that way you can poisson yourselves and nobody will be blamed, using your same train of thought if you poison yourself it is nobody's foult right... we can play this game all you want and you will loose. the car analogy was a bad idea since everyone needs to register the cars they drive and you could be a fined and jail if you don't, are you saying that people buying cars are much more likely to commit a crime ??? if this is not true why we register cars and not gun traders ??? all am asking is for a registration bill. or you can pay a fine or go to jail for the crimes commited with sayd weapon so you can think and remember who you gived the weapons to, it's simple only a stupid morons would not see the economical benefits to a country against organized criminals, they should even have laws that facilitate expropiation of land and capital from terrorists with guns. you don't have to agree with me, ask me if I care !!! #3 central bank LOL ? I think the IMF needs to be thought a lesson and never be payed back, that way every nations will work hard for the tax money and the only money a National banks should circulate, if you have a US$ dollars go to USA and buy anything you want, try changing it in Argentina and 50% should stay with the government to cover lost income from jobs and taxes, pirats should be executed no doubt about it.
