Medina Mora says he hopes the Newtown shooting will, in his words, "catalyze the necessary societal support for a change in the regulations that will be more favourable to the interests of our country."

Yeah like gun control works in his corrupt third world country! A lovely place where only the criminals have guns, those with badges and without.

They say optimism is good for health. (unfounded optimism, but don't sweat the details)

What he means is “If America bans guns it will provide new cash opportunities for Mexico when the cartels start smuggling guns into the U.S.”

Of course he said that. Those who control food and guns control the population. If obamasein lets only the mecican druglords control the guns, then half his job is done for him. I’m sure he will work the food part out with the epa.

Gee I wonder who authorized those sales to the Mexican cartels?

Mexico’s gun control laws work well don’t they!

I would love to have one if I could afford to feed it. But they do have a selector switch so it would be my choice. I like options.

If it's illegal to own a toy assault rifle might as well buy a real one.
