Democrats Show Little Enthusiasm for CIFTA Treaty on Gun Trafficking

Washington Post Writer -- President Obama visited Mexico and pledged to do more to keep U.S. guns out of the hands of murderous drug cartels, but the symbolically treaty known as CIFTA, has gone nowhere. Mexican authorities have begged the U.S. government to do more to curb the flow of high-powered rifles to drug traffickers. Both governments say that thousands of U.S. weapons have been sent illegally south of the border in recent years. CIFTA requires countries to criminalize the illegal manufacture and import or export of weapons.
