That’s what I said.. if Mexico is so interested in getting ride of United States guns from their country then they should be for securing the border.

But see their drug of choice is illegals coming here and sending their money home and that drug is much more powerful then anything the cartels sell.

He’s getting ready for an end around. He won’t dare try to take our guns away, but he will limit production. Sure, you can own a gun, you just can’t manufacture one. Believe me, he’s setting up to go after gun manufacturers.

Nope. Ammo and cartridge components [for reloading].

Obama will eliminate what you feed your boom sticks.

Is there any ammo left in the US? It’s been practically sold out everywhere since November. I can’t even imagine how many guns and how much ammo has been sold from Nov. to now. The number must be staggering.

How bout the latest total B.S. from the obamedia. A poll showing 48% of people are “happy” with the tax rate. HEY! They do not tell you 48% pay no taxes. Who would not be happy?

0bowdown lies!

The U.S. government is doing most of the "gun running" from the U.S.

The Cockroach and the Lightswitch: A Spotlight on the Gunshow-Loophole-Mexican-Narco-Nexus Lie

Here is another article with similar information.

The Myth of 90 Percent: Only a Small Fraction of Guns in Mexico Come From U.S

In 2007-2008, 29,000 guns were recovered from crime scenes in Mexico. Exactly 5114 were traced to origins in the US. That is 17.6%. AFAIK not one of those guns was traced to a "gun shop on the border." Gun dealers have to submit paperwork on every gun they buy for resale. Yet not a single dealer, to my knowledge, has been arrested.

0bama, Holder and Mz Clintoon all know this. They are telling lies cut from whole cloth.

Yeah, and 90 percent of the drugs up here are from Mexico. All it proves is that the border needs to be secured!

Goebbels would be proud.

No, no. Not George Gobel. Josef Goebbels.

Who, ironically, was also known as “Lonesome” Josef Goebbels. At least that’s what Martin Bormann called him/

Obama is simply following socialist Ingsoc. Whenever facts don’t fit the agenda, change the facts. No problem.

“Obama will eliminate what you feed your boom sticks.”

He may _try_, but there’s already been an 18 month run on reloading components. Many folk have a lifetime supply, even at a fairly high use rate.

Every major site has been sold out on primers for months.

The good news is the worm should turn in 2010, and I’m 90% sure we’ll have a GOP President in 2013.

I wonder if the eventual spin will be that 0bama wasn’t “black enough” and we’re still waiting for the first “black” President...

When I point out lies like this to my progressive coworkers they simply say he’s wrong. That is an option they didn’t allow Bush whenever he was wrong. So I respond, so the 2 choices that is he’s a liar or an idiot...which usually ends the conversation.
