As sure as the Sun rises in the East, Univision senior anchor Jorge Ramos will find a way to renew his all-too-frequent calls for anti-gun legislation. A recent opinion column mashes violence in Mexico with incidents in the United States in order to make the same old points.
The column, titled “Run, Hide, or Fight”, rehashes some of the same old tropes that Ramos has been peddling for years. This brief sampling below pretty much sums up the entirety of the column:
*In the United States there are said to be more guns than there are people. In some areas of the country, buying a gun is easier than getting a prescription filled, and officials lack the political will to stand up to the National Rifle Association or other groups to restrict their distribution or use.
Mexico faces a different problem. Drug traffickers and other criminals have a vast supply of weapons — most of them smuggled into the country from the United States — and ordinary citizens don’t generally put their trust in the police or the federal government to protect them. If someone is robbed, or even kidnapped or killed, they know the crime will almost certainly go unpunished.
I live in Florida, a state where politicians think the best way to fight gun violence in schools is by giving teachers their own pistols. The ludicrous argument goes something like this: We must fight fire with fire, and weapons with other weapons, even in the classroom. Elected officials don’t dare take the more logical and reasonable step: banning the use of rifles, pistols and other weapons of war. Who came up with the brilliant idea that more weapons somehow equals less violence.

Hey, Jorge! are you protected by men carrying guns? Then STFU!
I wouldn't be a bit surprised if he carried.
If there are more guns than the 310 million people in the US, we who legally own guns are the most responsible people on the planet. Criminal and nut shooters represent .000001% of the population.
...so?
Ram it Jorge.
Y el burro que montó en!
Jorge Ramos. Jorge Ramos? Is he a famous landscaper?
Okay, you pass a law banning guns...what does that accomplish?
I’m not passing any laws restricting guns. Must be someone else. LOL! I know you meant ‘whore-hay’.
No American government has successfully outlawed drugs. Yet they pretend they can create a world without guns, just by wishing it so.
OK, Jorge, start with your Latino gangbanger compadres, then get back to us...
