President Obama used a speech at Mexicos Museo Nacional de Antropología the National Anthropology Museum to claim that most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States.
I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms, Obama said. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will.
But at the same time, as Ive said in the United States, I will continue to do everything in my power to pass common-sense reforms that keep guns out of the hands of criminals and dangerous people.
That can save lives here in Mexico and back home in the United States, Obama added. Its the right thing to do.
The president did not say if he was specifically referring to the illegal trafficking of firearms across the U.S.-Mexico border, but Senate testimony in 2011 from a top Department of Justice official indicates that he may be correct.
Lanny Breuer, then the Assistant Attorney General, referred a Senate Judiciary subcommittee to statistics showing that 94,000 weapons had been recovered from Mexican drug cartels in the previous five years, including 64,000 a 70 per cent ratio that could be traced back to the United States....

Amazingly Obama is more concerned by gun deaths in Mexico than he is concerned about rapes and murders by uninvited Mexican immigrants.
To: 2ndDivisionVet
He should have been apologizing, those guns were intentionally sent there by Obama and holder to cause those deaths, all to expedite a socialist gun grab here in the states. Obama killed all those innocents just because he doesn’t want Americans to have the ability to defend themselves.

He is right. HE sold them to the gunrunners who took them to Mexico and HIS State Department approved the sale of THOUSANDS of M4s to the Mexican Army that were later stolen and sold to the drug cartels.

This is damaging obama... everyone with any intellects at all knows of fast and furious and knows of obama’s and holder's guilt. Rush was pounding this... Beck was pounding this and Hannity is pounding this. obama let his inner communist get the better of his muslim demon with this speech. He will issue a “correction”... one of his “I am sorry if you people are too stupid to understand me” diatribes... if the heat builds.

I have no words to describe this guy. He is a total POS. I have the words, but if I posted them I would probably get a visit from the S.S.

>> He is NOT stupid. He is a white hating racist here to DESTROY the country.
I don’t think he’s a racist, but I think he despise the liberty represented by the majority of White American males.
His allegiance is not to the fabric of the Constitution, the Country, Christianity, nor Life. He projects the antithesis of American greatness.

I believe this is the first President to ever go overseas and bash America. Yes Carter has done this but at least he was retired....it doesn’t make it much better, but to see the sitting President ‘bash’ America is astonishing. I can’t believe that people are putting up with this. I am so stunned.
