‘Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States’
The president omitted mention of Operation Fast and Furious, his Department of Justice’s program that ‘walked’ thousands of guns across the border.

Wow! What can you say?

[GBMelBlount]

I heard this on the radio today.

Fortunately for Obama most of todays U.S. inhabitants are ignorant, uninformed and believe whatever drivel he and the left wing media spew as gospel as long as they get their free stuff and the other guy pays for it.

It is sad to see America fall apart from within.

[ALLD]

Guns don't kill people, Taco Bell food does.

I'm only surprised he didn't blame Bush.

False. Most of the guns used to commit violence in Mexico come from Belize and Honduras. But there are some that come from here. Most notably from the Obama administration...

He went there but Obama's wild claim will backfire


He went there. President Barack Hussein Obama blamed Mexico's problem with extreme violence on U.S. guns. But such a wild claim, which has no basis in the facts, will backfire much to Obama's shock and much to the delight of patriots who have long decried his lies.

The common mantra that U.S. guns are the reason Mexico is overrun with criminals who murder at will, dangerous drug cartels, and al Qaeda recruiters who behead Mexican citizens by the dozens, is highly popular with the Mexican government and the current administration.

But the facts belie the rhetoric, at least in one sense.

Mexico is violent due to the drug cartels, corrupt government, and law enforcement officers on the take. Guns are but a tool for diabolical persons who intend to do harm in order to advance their agenda.

The multiplicity of problems that beset the country are much more complicated than just those obvious factors cited above, but they provide helpful insight into what the nation faces. Overwhelming poverty and the wide gulf that separates the super rich from the impoverished ordinary citizen is perhaps the common denominator that drives all of the other motivations for violence in Mexico.

But the point is that U.S. guns have little or nothing to do with it. And to the degree that the guns contribute to the problems is a scenario created by none other than the U.S. government itself, not the gun owning public, not the gun stores, and not the gun shows.

The U.S. government deliberately placed at least 2,500 heavy duty U.S. firearms directly into the hands of not the ordinary Mexican citizens but the dangerous and deadly drug cartels in a fiasco that became known as "Operation Fast and Furious." Under the guise of conducting a "sting operation" the ATF, under orders from the highest levels of the Obama administration, walked guns across the southern border where they wound up in the possession of Mexico's most deadly criminals. The reason, as the ATF whistleblowers proved time and again, was an attempt of the administration which, under the influence of sheer stupidity and ideological blindness, wished to create a scenario that would prove the preconceived mantra that "guns from the U.S. are the source of the deadly drug cartel violence."

In short, Fast and Furious was nothing more than a scheme for more gun control. Obama wished to be able to go to the public and state that our guns cause the violence in Mexico and thus, we need draconian new gun control laws. This is not a wild haired charge of conspiracy theorists but a fact established and reported by CBS News, Fox, The Examiner, and other major news outlets.

And now that it has become apparent that Obama's sweeping gun control and gun ban initiative has failed to garner adequate support in Congress to be approved, out comes the false charge once again that U.S. guns are the root cause for Mexican violence. This is not a coincidence.

Further, the U.S. government under former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton approved the sale of a multiplicity of military grade weaponry to Mexico in a little publicized program known as U.S. Direct Commercial Sales. A CIA informant stated that the State Department sold the weaponry to the Los Zetas drug cartel.

But rather than accept responsibility for his bumbling failures in Fast and Furious and the sale of military weapons to Mexican drug cartels, Obama had rather blame ordinary American gun owners, once again, for Mexico's problems.

Terrible idea. Haven't we done enough to those poor Mexicans?

[steeldawg]

Not a good comment given the data he used, He used the data that showed crime guns recovered and traced, which show to be about 90% american, however once you take into account the guns not recovered and all of the guns recovered and not traced its gotta to be less than 50%.
