With all undue disrespect is more like it. Felipe Calderon comes to Congress and issues serial insults to serial applause by the rats therein. Obama issues serial insults to our allies and apologies to our adversaries.

[Tzimisce]

You know, Mexico has gun control. Is it *gasp* not working?

Yeah I’m sure it’s guns and not a corrupt, weak government down there....

[mlocher]

Mexican President Felipe Calderon called on Congress

Calderon and Obama read from the same teleprompter. Obama is spoon feeding this guy.....

Every individual that gave this basta$d a standing ovation should be run our of office.

[oyez]

If Mexico had a less corrupt and restricted form of government, its people would have fewer reasons to turn to crime.

[GeronL]

Where do I go to get a full auto machine gun and grenades?

What gun store is that?

I bet most of their guns came from the Mexican or Venezuelan Army

[eclecticEel]

We’ll get on that right after we stop the flow of cartel drugs across our border.

It has NOTHING to do with drugs. NOTHING.

It has NOTHING to do with a corrupt government. NOTHING.

It has NOTHING to do with a corrupt military. NOTHING.

American semiautomatics are the reason for machine-gun attacks. Obviously.

American semiautomatics are the reason for grenade attacks. Obviously.

American semiautomatics are the reason for machete attacks. Obviously.

I’ve been such a fool all these years.

[Mobties]

Blame US guns for Mexican violence? Nonsense! If there’s a non-human cause it’s gotta be those infernal jumping beans.

[RC one]

I’m considering selling off part of my assault weapon collection. I believe I’ll do it at an Arizona gun show when the time comes. FU Calderon and your entire country.

[TennTuxedo]

Has Calderon ever given thought that it is not the guns, but rather, Mexicans who are killing people and causing the violence?

[KoRn]

What TOTAL bullshit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The “assault weapons” made before the 94 gun ban, they didn’t go anywhere. They were still here, and people used them.

ON top of that, the weapons made AFTER the ban weren’t much different than ‘preban’ rifles. The ban included rifles with flash hiders, detachable magazines, and a pistol grip...among other “features”. More than two of the three of those features would make it illegal. In other words, lose the flash suppressor, and it wouldn’t be designated as an “assault weapon”. Is he saying flash suppressors are making his country a more dangerous place?

He acts like with the ban going away, suddenly there were a bunch of weapons flowing into Mexico, as if the ban made a difference! (ROFL)

This idiot is coming here, insulting our country, and peddling LIES! The weapons sold before, during, and after the “assault” weapons ban aren’t functionally much different. It’s all cosmetics.

I SERIOUSLY doubt any Mexican cartel member, or whomever the hell is violent down there, would have ANY use for a street legal American semi auto rifle sold out of a gun shop. You can be CERTAIN those guys are importing military weapons, or procuring them from corrupt Mexican military personnel.

This guy is SO full of excrement, there’s probably an awful smell wherever he speaks!

[Pox]

Just try to take my guns, Federal, State, or local government.

The time for talking has passed. Action will be required to settle the issue of constitutional freedom once and for all, IMO.

I am ready. Bring it.

[rockinqsranch]

Need the picture of the actor with the caption “Not this shit again”. I don’t have the pic, nor the talent to place it. Thanks in advance to anyone that can do it.

[atomic_dog]

there is no factual basis for the claim that as many as 90 percent of the weapons come from the U.S

Actually is the absolute truth. Absolutely misleading but absolutely true. 90% of the so-called assault weapons can be traced back to the US. In fact, they can all be traced back to one US city. Hartford, CT. The fact is that most of those weapons were Colt AR15s/M16s provided to the Mexican Armed Forces and Law Enforcement that subsequently found their way into the hands of the bad guys. The Zetas take many with them when they desert. So it is true that they come from the US very misleading since it is Mexican corruption that actually provided them.

[Man50D]

Mr. Calderon told a joint session of Congress that of the 75,000 guns seized by Mexican authorities over the last three years, 80 percent are traced to the U.S.

From the September 2009 issue of the NRA's Freedom Magazine Editor Mark Chesnut, excerpts:

For example one of the biggest media lies of the past year is the "fact" that 87% of guns confiscated from Mexican drug runners comes from the United States.

A new report Congress traces over 90% of guns recovered in Mexican drug crimes in the last three years back across the border, where legal and illegal American dealers flout federal laws rife with loopholes. With regard to the 87% or "over 90%" statistic , the figures in the report, which the author and other media have bothered to read, make clear the BATFE only traces a small fraction of the guns seized in Mexico. Further those firearms traced a selected because they are the guns most likely to have come from the United States. I order to do their job correctly the media would actually have to report something like :"The report says 87% of the small fraction of confiscated guns traced are selected for tracing because they likely came from the U.S>, originated in the U.S."

[Zeppo]

Mr. Calderone said he respects the Second Amendment, but...

Mr. Calderone is another one of those but-heads. They mouth the lie without breaking a sweat, and then continue on to contradict their original statement, proving that it was an intentional lie all along...

[bigbob]

I think we now understand why Mexico is such a freaking mess, and why people seem ready to do almost anything to get out of there.

Calderon, clean up your own country before coming here criticizing ours. The USA is the best friend you ever had, you jackass.

[Redbob]

Can it really be that Calderon is that stupid???

Or does he think we are?
