I just got watching a live interview with Hillary Clinton and Greta Van Susteren. Hillary has decided that somehow the US is responsible for the violence in Mexico because some of the weapons recovered were smuggled from the US.
Keep in mind, these weapons are ILLEGAL in Mexico.
Keep also in mind, it is ILLEGAL for non residents to purchase these weapons in the US.
So Hillary's plan is to take away our freedom to help disarm the Mexican drug cartels. Hillary, along with Eric Holder feel our Constitutional Rights should be limited to help make a foreign country safer. To put it mildly - I am offended.
It doesn't matter if you are pro or anti gun, American citizens should ever have to give up a right for the benefit of another country that can not control itself.
Maybe some of the guns recovered did originate in the US. The really nasty weapons being used, did not. The fully automatic machine guns, the rocket launchers, the grenades are all illegal in the US. This country is NOT the supplier of these weapons. Many of them come from - ready for this - the Mexican Army.
We're talking about a nation that is corrupted from the top down. There are already laws preventing this from happening, yet it happens. Taking away the rights of Americans will not improve the Mexican problems one single iota.
Mexico is not the reason. The reason is the democrat party has wanted to reenact this ban since it expired in 2004. This ban had no effect on crime in the US, that is why there was no support to extend it or make it permanent.
Don't fall for the story - this has been a goal of the democrats since 2004.
