U.S. 'Gun Control' Not the Answer to Mexican Crime


We've been off-and-on discussing violent Mexican drug-related crime and the opportunistic plotters in this country trying to exploit it by enacting further citizen disarmament edicts. My last column on this topic includes links to the various decepetions they've been trying.

Information I have received from reliable sources says the Zeta criminal organization is stepping up its ruthlessness on our side of the border. Mules who if detected would previously abandon contraband they were smuggling, must now, under threat of death for failure, protect the drug shipments they are carrying rather than abandon them. To do this, they have been ordered to carry weapons.

And when the Zetas give an order, they expect to be obeyed. [More]


Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows the absurdity of thinking otherwise. Like keeping you and me from buying semi-autos will have any effect on ruthless, decapitating monsters who can buy the "authorities" on both sides of the border. This whole business of an "assault weapons" ban being needed to fight the cartels is such an utter fraud, what must it say about the motives of anyone proposing it?

Also see an alert from Oregon about three bills, and get the latest from my fellow GREs.

Please pass the link along to interested friends.

Right now I'm thinking Mexico's corruption problem could be helped by making all US politicians live in literal glass homes. Hey.... "at the very least" it couldn't hurt the situation.

Thank you so much, David. A perspective we're not likely to get anywhere else.
No matter how much we forward the information to the media and beg and plead.
We thought the attacks of 9/11 were our Reichstag Fire. It appeasr that we are so special and unique that we needed one that took one hour, and another long-smoldering one to the south.
Which leads me to this: The Yuma Arizona internal checkpoint that has become so infamous for arrogant abuse of civil and human rights. If WE know about it, how many drug and illegal-immigrant smugglers do they expect to come through there now?
Or does it even matter? It is, after all, a conditioning exercise for the norteamericanos, not a deterrent for the Mexicanos, verdad?
