Mexico's problem with guns from the U.S.

[[AK]Abaddon]

I've watched the hype around guns being smuggled into Mexico spiral up from our hometown liberal rag into national news coverage, and it has ALWAYS seemed like a relatively transparent effort by the papers (and now Dear Leader) to force more gun control on the U.S.

Here's confirmation:

Actually I don't doubt that a lot of guns do come from the USA. As in manufactured or designed in the USA. That means nothing - considering these are probably military arms from their own corrupt officials or other illicit means that have no connection to legal US citizenry routes. That or I'm shopping at the wrong stores, because I'm not seeing a whole lot of the <16" barreled rifles, grenades, full-auto's, rocket launchers, or belt fed weapons that they keep showing in the seizure photos. (Those are all National Firearms Act regulated weapons that are not available for purchase by us unwashed masses)

In any event, the whole campaign is like saying 1/3 of robberies are done with white cars - implying that somehow if we only could stop distribution of white cars, we'd have an impact on robberies.

It's doublespeak, and so meaningless I can't figure out why they are focusing on this strategy. My guess is the Mexican officials are fanning this flame to try and divert attention from their own ineffectiveness and corruption - though that's just a guess on my part. And the demagogue gun grabbers are just hopping on the bandwagon. It is amusing that whenever the 90% number is challenged, no one anywhere has any actual data to back it up.

The good news is, this has got to be one of the lamest bandwagon's ever. Do they really think the US soccer moms are going to get all behind a movement for the benefit of Mexico? The more time and resources they blow on this dead end, the less effort they spend on a misinformation campaign that might actually be effective.

I truly feel that the Liberal Government will take every advantage it can for the next 4 years to pull everything they can towards their agenda of Socialism. Gun control is a big part of that agenda. Along with International Law, Abortion, and controlling our children's thinking in the public school system.
