Obama Perpetuates The '90 Percent Of Mexico's Weapons Come From The U.S.' Lie -- In Mexico!

[Boomer1947]

DOG SQUEEZE

[DojangRat]

This is bullshit. Mexico gets most of their high power firearms from the middle east. The drug gangs trade millions of their drug dollars for full auto firearms. Those are illegal in the USA, so this idea they got a full auto AK-47 from a mom and pop gun store in the USA is BS.

[jimmi161]

How about if he just ends the war on drugs?

[1Snooper1]

Obama sucks donkey balls while we at the Southern Border get raped and murdered on a daily basis. Thanks meathead!

[krove]

Obama's admin sold guns to the cartels via Fast and Furious. How will the Mexican media and Presidente Calderon react to this betrayal?

[sfbadger45]

Where does he get that BS of 90%? Does anyone really think that drug cartels are working to buy semi-auto rifles from the US for $1200 when they can buy full-auto AK's on the World Market for $50?

Operation gun runner.

Makes him sound like he approved it so he could give that statistic.

[Prant3ra]

Have Mexicans ever heard of free will. Now U.S has to teach Mexicants right from wrong. Jesus get this fool out of there. He's always kissin these foreigners ass. And making his people responsible WTF. Real smart Obama.

[heinrichguzmann]

YES that is not TRUE...!

I am sure more than 90% of the guns come from the US, is close to 100%.

The war on drugs is a nice business for the US.

Kids consume the drug, and Uncle Sam is selling the weapons..!!

Everybody is happy!

[grizzledoldster]

Just 8 percent of all guns confiscated in Mexico were originally sold in the US.

95 percent of American guns linked to a crime "solved by arrest" are stolen guns, traded for drugs, and then sold by a "street corner gun dealer."

The going price for a quality handgun in a gun shop is $500 and up. The same weapon from an underworld supplier selling to a known criminal is just $100.

And all this "Arming Mexico" BS is just an excuse to confiscate Americans guns.

[rlaycock]

He's a liar. And his party is a Party of Liars. Of course, so is the GOP.

We're in a tough spot.

[MestizoMaverick]

Vote them all out! Enough of the partisan crap, they only care about lining their pockets and staying in power.

[Firecloud500]

Bullshit. Too bad we don't manufacture AK47 assault rifles and all the shit coming from their armies and police forces that the drug cartels steal from.

[Xringer]

The BATF confirmed the Fox debunking facts.

(As did the NY times).

Who do you need to confirm it?? Bill Clinton??

[xtrapremier]

In the context of the so called war on drugs, it is relevant to look at our controls or weapons the originate in our country but end up being used against Mexican interdiction forces. No different when we analyze our problems with contraband we want to know where most of it comes from as a means of helping solve the problem. If you identify a source you can begin to determine what can be done about it.

[mmj75]

Obama thanks for making us look like fools. The grenades does not come from the US &a we're not buying up there drugs, do u think US is the only one who have guns, do you think US is the only one that does drugs, Think again, if were all so stone and selling guns illegally you would have our tax dollars to get you damn stimilus bills.,please don't apologize to the commies for me. After the Black Cac left cuba lied about what what said make fun of the blacks Dumbass

[bull068]

Who gives a shit where the guns came from? Do you think guns are the cause of the violence? If so, then you are an idiot. Guns are a means, not an end.

I would love to see a real revolution in Mexico, followed by a restructuring of the country based around the power and potential of the individual. I would love to see them do it better than the United States and keep it longer. Maybe then we would see how far we've fallen.

[Nezahualcoyotl7]

es mas facil para los narcos y criminales internacionales meter la coca y las armas por la florida, ya que la guarda costera en ese estado es la mas inepta y corrupta de todo usa.

[xtrapremier]

"more than 90 pct. of guns RECOVERED". Not 90 pct of all Mexico's guns mo-rons.

[Androctonus84]

@xtrapremier The point is, mo-ron, that either way, it's a lie. Here's the link to the actual GAO report from whence they all claim to get their figures:

gao.gov/new.items/d09709.pdf

You'll notice in the appendix there is a letter from Homeland Security criticizing the report for stating things in a way to make it sound like the "90%" (actually 87%) figure refers to all guns seized, when in fact it was only about 8%. Obama and his people have been called on this but still lie.

[blanckepi]

Because of last year's Supreme Court DC versus Heller decision, Obama and company know that they cannot say any longer that the Second Amendment protects no individual right to keep and bear arms.

This is precisely why they keep pushing this "Mexican gun smuggling" farce by ridiculously claiming that "thousands" of full-automatic weapons are crossing the southern United States border into Mexico each day.

This is nothing but a total boldfaced lie, one which keeps being repeated over and over.

[Macaframa1]

Even if all guns were banned in the entire world by law gangs and criminals would be able to get guns.

The 2nd amendment is a right not a privilege. If they want to ban guns they're going to have to take them back bullet by bullet.

[GunOwnerDan]

Mexican cartels are getting machine guns, rocket launchers, and even grenades and they aren;t getting them from American gun shops or gun shows! Some fools actually think these cartels can be stopped by useless bans on semi-automatic weapons. Yes, these gangsters are all of a sudden going to start obeying the laws. YEAH RIGHT!

[AirborneIdentity]

if fox noise "debunks" anything, the reverse is probably true lol

[sirfith]

I would like to see the proof on that.

Of course Fox could do the same as Keith Olbermann did with his witter worst person. He corrects by claiming a little "housekeeping". but does not state what he got wrong in the first place.

[AirborneIdentity]

keith lolberman is about as legitimate as faux noise.

[Xringer]

The BATF confirmed the Fox debunking facts.

(As did the NY times).

It was 90%, of the small number of guns that Mexico actually gave us the serial numbers to trace. BATF says "90% of those guns traced",

not guns confiscated from Mexican criminals.

Naturally, they aren't going to give us any pilfered Mexican army weapon SNs to trace..

Or, fully automatic weapons, RPGs etc that aren't available in America. Which are the weapon of choice in the drug wars.

[AirborneIdentity]

well the source for this "debunking" is fox so right off the bat i don't buy it.

[themunz126]

It was a border patrol agent (retd) that they interviewed who said it. I would tend to believe him.

[AirborneIdentity]

meh, fox's source was a USBP agent? retired? yeah that's credible.

the fact that fox is only reporting their claim on their website is proof that even they don't buy their own claims.

[themunz126]

why would he not be credible? he spent his career patrolling the boarder.

[AirborneIdentity]

because if he is the only source then fox is using anecdotal evidence.
