What if we gave a war and EVERYBODY came?

[Major Matt Mason]

Never waste a good crisis, eh? Here comes gun control, in TX, of all places.

[umgud]

Tighter gun control and stronger law enforcement in Southwestern states were recommended .............

Tighter gun control? Like make more laws against gun smuggling?

> “Let’s examine our gun laws, let’s cut down on U.S. drug consumption, let’s ask there to be more resources to root out drug-money laundering,”

Oh jeez, why don’t we add a conference on ‘world peace’ into that “equation”, shall we?

[John123]

let’s cut down on U.S. drug consumption

Uh... not working...

[CodeMasterPhilzar]

Tighter gun control and stronger law enforcement...

If they did the second - enforced the existing firearms laws - they wouldn't even be considering the first. In fact, they probably need more firearms in that neck-of-the-woods to help people protect themselves.

If you think the police will protect you, you are sadly mistaken. Police are there to protect society from criminals. By definition, they have to commit a crime first before the police come after them. That crime may very well be against you or your family. Your safety, and the safety of those you care about, is ultimately your own responsibility.

Brilliant. As the situation gets more dangerous, lets take away the ability of our citizens to defend themselves. With that kind of reasoning, the author is undoubtably a dem.

Don't you just love it? A Massachusetts's congress critter laying out the plans for "peace in our time" to the states of the southwest.

"The United States and Mexico border violence can only be solved if we look at all parts of the equation," Rep. John Tierney, D-Mass., said Thursday during a House subcommittee considering changes to U.S. gun laws. "Let’s examine our gun laws, let’s cut down on U.S. drug consumption, let’s ask there to be more resources to root out drug-money laundering," he said.

What does some dip/stick in Mass. know about the border, butt out dummie.

What a f’cking farce regarding the idea of gun control helping the situation in Mexico.

Why in the hell would the Mexican drug cartels have any use for a semiautomatic rifle bought and smuggled from the US when they can probably get all the full autos they want, CHEAPER, from elsewhere.

This is just another lame ass excuse to infringe on our rights.

Hey, what about a well constructed effective border fence? With a trillion dollars for shovel ready projects, just what are they shoveling in Congress?

"Tighter gun control and stronger law enforcement in Southwestern states were recommended."

The typical response by the Ayers and Angela Davis crowd.

Restrict freedoms in the US and the world will be a better place.

[DesertRhino]

Invade Mexico and restore order. Because invading my civil rights *instead* is not an option. They are responsible for the problem, so they should suffer the consequenses, not me.

[Gilbo_3]

somebody give this libtard a fork and point him to a light socket...

[2harddrive]

No, we DON”T need to examine our gun laws....unless it is to REPEAL some! Dummy!

Sounds like Tierney needs to have a conversation with Ron Paul.

Scary stuff with Napolitano running the show. She couldn’t even get a handle on the violence in her own state. Phoenix is now the number 2 city for kidnappings. Could zero have picked a more incompetent person to run Homeland Security?

[SandRat]

Homeland Security plans for violence on U.S. border

With Janet in Charge?
The EX-Governor of Arizona who couldn't and wouldn't control it?

[Condor51]

What an asshat. What does someone from Massachusetts know what's going on 1800+ miles away (and that's the closest, direct line) at the Texas / Mexican border.

And rep Tierney, in case you forgot you were elected to represent the people who live in your peehole of a district not in Texas or ANYWHERE else in the USA.
