Oh no they didn't---MEXICO is trying to lecture US about VIOLENCE? Seriously? Calif. Assemblyman Tim Donnelly summed it up well: "Nothing ceases to amaze me. This is outrageous that the failed nation of Mexico would dare lecture the United States -- Mexico, where gun ownership by citizens is illegal, but gun violence is at epidemic proportions with the Drug Cartels slaugthering 60K people in the past 4 years. For the number of guns in this country, we are a remarkably peaceful people...." Yet more hypocrisy from Calderon - who also called our border fence racist, and then built one of his own to keep Guatemalan illegals out of Mexico. (LINK)

--

(Reuters) - Mexican President Felipe Calderon condemned U.S. gun laws as "mistaken" and urged Washington to review them after a shooter killed 12 people and injured more than 50 others at a U.S. movie theater on Friday.

In comments posted on his Twitter account on Saturday, Calderon offered his condolences to the United States after a gunman went on the rampage with an assault rifle at a midnight premier of the new Batman film in Aurora, Colorado.

But Mexico's president, who has repeatedly called on Washington to tighten gun controls to stop weapons flowing from the United States into the hands of Mexican drug cartels, said U.S. weapons policy needed a rethink after the killings.

"Because of the Aurora, Colorado tragedy, the American Congress must review its mistaken legislation on guns. It's doing damage to us all," Calderon said.

EXCERPT...Continued...

Mexico is our real enemy. Our so-called leaders and media are too corrupt to acknowledge this.

Yeah, like they’ve done so very well with their gun laws, drug laws and the cartels. Just ask the thousands murdered!

When will everyone understand that laws only disarm the lawful?

New photo of Brian Ross, the convicted child molester.

ABC News was just so DAMNED eager to tie the patriots of the "Tea Party" to an insane act of mass-murder, that Ross and Stephanopolous just couldn't stop themselves when they did a Google search and found a Jim Holmes on a Tea Party list.

Their wet dream is to connect "Tea Party" and "terrorist" as a permanent meme in the MSM.

Turnabout is fair play. Please share this photo on FR, FB and Twitter, and include "Brian Ross, the convicted child molester" in the accompanying text, so that the picture will be linked on Google to Brian Ross forever. This smarmy prick and ABC "news" deserve it, in spades.

This is like getting a lecture about healthy living, from a terminal lung cancer patient who is chain-smoking cigarettes.

Obama probably put him up to it.

Come to think of it, Obama has been successful in bringing the U.S. down to the level of a third world country in the world's eyes. Can you imagine Mexico saying this to Reagan?

weve entered the next dimension of political satire/irony...

one nutjob is capable of paralysing an entire region/state/nation here, while an ongoing, full scale war [with real military grade weapons] in mejico is just the daily scene...

and again, in iraq, every household is allowed to keep a full-auto AK, by the blood & Blessings of the US rule of law...

tell me again how much FReedom weve lost ???

Felipe Calderon is sticking to the propaganda mantra—”Drugs going north, guns going south”—that Obama and Hillary drilled him on in 2009.

U.S. weapons smuggled into Mexico go to meet the demand of Mexican citizens who have been terrified by criminal gangs and corrupt officials. Though firearms are legal they are difficult to obtain because the few “legal” Mexican gun stores are controlled by the notoriously crooked National Police.

Criminals have military grade weapons—including fully automatic rifles, shoulder-fired rocket launchers and grenades—easily obtained on a black market fed by China, former East Bloc countries, and rouge military groups throughout Central America.

If all weapons were banned in the U.S. tomorrow, Mexico would overnight launch the biggest gun running operation in history to supply American demand.
