An Associated Press article on June 14th reported that 70% of arms seized in Mexico came from the U.S. This article furthers this out right lie by stating that the BATF reported 20,504 firearms out of 29,284 firearms seized were traced to the U.S. What they are not telling you is that vast amount of firearms seized that are not checked through U.S. sources because they are coming from outside the U.S., predominantly the southern Mexico border with Guatemala. Of course, the BATF brought you Operation Gunrunner, where they tacitly allowed firearms to go to Mexico to "build cases for prosecutions".
To add insult to injury, the Mexican President PinHead Felipe “I’m not responsible for Mexicans killing Mexicans” Calderon, while in a speech to the Mexican-American community in San Jose , California said this about the U.S. firearms industry:
“I accuse the U.S. Weapons industry of responsibility for the deaths of thousands of people that are occurring in Mexico . It is for profit, for the profits that it makes for the weapons industry.”
Then this idiot called for a ban on domestic sales fo assault rifles saying “You can clearly see how the violence began to grow in 2005 and of course it has gone on an upward spiral in the last six years.” implying that the U.S. firearms manufacturers and dealers have fueled this.
Hey, Felipe you frigging idiot,…how about the Mexican nationals and other mutts smuggling guns? Do they have any responsibility? Does the drug cartels and their indiscriminate violence share any blame? Just how many Americans are down south pulling triggers? You, my scumbag neighbor, have way too much to do in Mexico to curb violence, to reduce corruption, to degrade the drug cartels before you go throwing bull crap our way.
It is bad indeed when the Mexican President that should be truthful and forthright either isn't seeing the total picture or just outright lies and exacerbates the situation, just like the Obama Administration and Justice Department does. When I worked, you know where, I saw the studies and they most definitely backed up what you are saying and NOT what the political talking heads want us to believe. Is this a problem, YES and it’s mostly coming from Latin and South America.
