His qoute to a Mexican audience:
"Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States," Obama told the attendees "I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will. But at the same time, as I've 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," he said.
What could prompt Obama to push gun control in Mexico, a country that already has very restrictive gun controls in place? It isn't helping them at all, as a matter of fact, their gun violence is far above ours per capita. (All links are tested for safety) Gun controls that are regarded as 'restrictive' came into law in 2004 in Mexico. Notice the marked climb in gun violence from 2004? Make owning guns criminal and only criminals will have guns. That's something that the Obama administration doesn't want you to know. Or the fact that his own hand picked Attorney General Eric Holder facilitated a gun walking program that contributed to Mexico's illegal gun violence. Trying to make amends Mr. President, by offering up our liberties as collateral? I think that the populace will see through your ruse.I catch hell from Obama supporters from time to time telling me to 'respect' the office of the President. I'll begin respecting him when he begins respecting the document he was sworn in to protect, THE CONSTITUTION. His tenure as President has marked a time of direct assault on our liberties. From directed purchase of a service (health insurance), placing non-elected officials in place (czars) to lessen the political impact on himself (equal representation) and now still beating the gun control drum. Let's call it what it is, an assault on freedom.
That's my two cents, spend 'em or put 'em in the dish for the next person.
