I got this article in an email from our retired border agent friends. We were discussing guns and Mexico earlier and the thought the libs would use our 2nd amendment against us. Well, it’s already started.

On another note, an interesting article about France selling helicopters to Mexico...going to build them there , too. You'd think by us giving them 1.5 billion this year, they might buy from us......

Not US guns.

Guns from international trade. Machine guns, sub-machine guns and machine pistols. None of which are practical to deliver from US sources, as the few remaining legal full-automatic weapons available here in the US were either manufactured before 1986, and due to scarcity are enormously expensive, or are not available in commercial channels if manufactured after that date.

Law enforcement and military can obtain the full automatic weapons, but unless somebody is stealing them out of an armory somewhere, or dealing them illegally, there is no way these weapons would be coming from a US source.

So what do you think is more likely, AK47s come to Mexico along with the drugs from Hugo Chavez, or they get bought in gun-shops in the USA and smuggled across the border? Magazines make good coke shipping containers.

I don't accept the premise of the gun angle.

Chavez just bought huge amounts of AKs from China.

“What’s wrong with this picture? First, the unbridled traffic of guns into Juarez and other border towns should shame even the most ardent member of the National Rifle Association. The NRA, once an advocacy group for sportsmen, has turned into an unyielding opponent of any and all federal gun regulation. Upholding the Second Amendment shouldn’t mean flooding a neighboring country with weapons to enhance an illegal drug trade. Guns kill and they should be registered and their owners licensed the same way we regulate automobiles and license drivers.”

Remember Eleanor Clift, the defender of all things Clinton? She’s after our guns now, but wants us all to be druggies!
I’ve been thinking about this ‘gun’ angle the Mexicans are pushing. We know any US citizen going into Mexico with a gun or even ammunition is going to jail. If guns are coming into Mexico from the US it’s under the guidance of those in charge in Mexico and they darn well know it!
That old excuse just doesn’t fly.

I guess since “It’s for the children” didn’t work, they’re thinkin’ that “It’s for the mexicans” will work.

This article is an absolute shame. Eleanor Clift is a menace to America.

Legalize drugs! Ban guns!

Y’know, the worlds’ problems are easily solved if you have the right frame of reference.

Back to the future. Everything that was old is suddenly new again. Anyone seen my bellbottoms?
