Video of Weasley Clark on Geraldo at Large 03-15-09 Calling for Re-instatement of US Assault Weapons Ban to Stop Mexican Violence
Explosives and Machine-Guns coming from the US. . . WTF?!?
Is there a commensurate American black-market of explosives that Clark referred to?
If so, that’s BIG news.
Just two more liberal, panty-waste LIARS!!! Pure hyperbole.
Drugs come from S. America, as do the assault weapons and explosives.
What drug cartel is going to pay American mark-up for a weapon that he will have to convert when the Chinese have the real-deal, packed in grease?
Not to mention the danger of smuggling them back into Mexico.
The cartels are too concerned with getting their green-backs south.
The Chinese bring in AK-47s by the boatload and they are at commodity prices.
If the Mexican government is thoroughly corrupt, what does that say about their dock-workers and border agents?
The MSM is working overtime on astro-turfing for the O-stration.
thaDeetz
Here is the way the narcos get control. They own the Mexican government. The Mexican government complains to the US that US guns are the cause of the drug violence in Mexico. The US government responds by banning assault weapons. Then the Mexican cartels have a huge advantage in a fire fight. They have full auto AK47s. Wesley Clark is an unwitting tool of the drug cartels.
A container with several tons of coke, AK47s, and RPGs was busted in Tampico not far from my sister-in-law’s house. It was headed for the US. Another was busted shortly after on the West Coast. The Mexican controlled gangs in the US are arming with sophisticated weapons.
The narcos have borrowed a page from our playbook. If you find yourself in a fair fight, something went wrong in the planning stages.
And let Mexico worry about banning weapons in their own country.
And we all know that the southern border of Mexico is clean and free of crime, nothing bad ever happens in Central America.
Why come here and buy a semi-auto for more than a fully capable select-fire weapon would cost them elsewhere, anyway?
Clark needs to clear that sight glass in his belly button he uses to see.
Or just cut a deal with Hugo and get some Russian ones...
“What drug cartel is going to pay American mark-up for a weapon that he will have to convert when the Chinese have the real-deal, packed in grease?”
“Or just cut a deal with Hugo and get some Russian ones...”
It’s definitely a vibrant market, off shore.
But then again, when did liberals ever listen to logic?
GUN PROPAGANDA INTERFERING WITH SAVING MEXICO? Well, note this:
Traffickers have escalated their arms race, acquiring military-grade weapons, including hand grenades, grenade launchers, armor-piercing munitions and antitank rockets with firepower far beyond the assault rifles and pistols that have dominated their arsenals. Most of these weapons are being smuggled from Central American countries or by sea, eluding U.S. and Mexican monitors who are focused on the smuggling of semiauto- matic and conventional weapons purchased from dealers in the U.S. border states of Texas, New Mexico, Arizona and California.
So all this talk about U.S. gun shops arming Mexican gangs with bazookas was just gun-control propaganda, then?
Reporting from Zihuatanejo, Mexico, and Mexico City — It was a brazen assault, not just because it targeted the city's police station, but for the choice of weapon: grenades.
The Feb. 21 attack on police headquarters in coastal Zihuatanejo, which injured four people, fit a disturbing trend of Mexico's drug wars. Traffickers have escalated their arms race, acquiring military-grade weapons, including hand grenades, grenade launchers, armor-piercing munitions and antitank rockets with firepower far beyond the assault rifles and pistols that have dominated their arsenals.
Now tell me what US gun show I can attend where I can legally buy the military weapons that the cartels are using?
4 states, so lets ban in all 57?
backhoe post #28 BTTT !!
I think the thing that angers me most about this video is when Wesley says “You want to fire a machine gun, then join the Army”. Uh.... Mr. Clark in this constitutional republic, the Army works for us (that would be the “We the People” part of the constitution). You see Mr. Clark, our founders did not believe that the government should have a monoply on the use of force. In fact, they believed that we have a pre-governmental right endowed by our creator to protect ourselves.
That’s what most real Americans believe Mr. Clark and it’s enumerated in the Constitution for your personal edification if you would take the time to read it. It’s obvious throughout this whole interview Mr. Clark you have an agenda to deprive American citizens of their natural rights. Perhaps we should have a voting ban also since I’m sure a lot of illegals come across the border and vote in our elections. It’s a crisis...
The only way Geraldo would report on what you posted would be if any of the military grade weapons headed for Mexico would have been found inside Anna Nicole Smith's casket or something else just as idiodic as any of the other irrelevant subjects Geraldo continues to report on.
...and him and Geraldo talking AND LAUGHING about "killing ducks with an AK".
Shouldn't Weasley have said : You want to fire a machine gun, then join the Army Air Force, and do it from 50,000 feet?.....(like Kosovo)
