"MITCHELL: And 90 percent of the guns used by the gangs come from the
U.S., including the powerful assault weapons that were banned until
Congress and the Bush White House let the ban expire."

Any gun manufactured in the United States can be traced right back to the last time it was sold.If those guns are really coming from America then  it should be easy enough to verify.Nobody in this country can just anonymously buy or sell a gun anymore.

Because with a name like Obama... you know it has to be good.

Yep, I said it. It's described by several of the founding fathers. The purpose of the 2nd Ammendment is so the government is AFRAID of We The People. Keeping assault weapons legal is a large part of that. I want my senators and congressmen fearing for their lives that if they screw something up bad enough "me and Bubba" will fire them personally. THAT was the purpose of the 2nd Ammendment.

 Yeah, label me honest, historically accurate and definitely non-PC.

Ok, I'll admit, do I think people should have access, as citizens, to purchase high power assault rifles?  Not personally, but as long as a system of background checks and strict accountability is in play, I fail to see how that is riskier than making it illegal for anyone to purchase a gun without resorting to the black market.

Liberals rail on this issue day in and day out that, if only we made guns illegal, well, then there'd be no violent crime!  Baloney.

Here's an example, and since this story relates to drug cartels in Mexico, its fitting as well.  We made pot illegal.  However, people still know where to find it.  Seriously.  I myself could find probably 4 different people in just the next ten minutes if I wanted to.  This is not my pushing for legalization of weed, but rather, to illustrate a point on gun control that liberals *fail* to ever face, and its quite blatant hypocrisy.

They claim that people can get drugs anyway, so why waste money on the drug war?  Fair enough, that argument, although too broad to be viable, does have some merit to it in some senses.  People, indeed, will still find drugs, legal or not.  What makes them think its any different for guns?!

 Here's what happens in today's world.  If you give people the freedom to prove they are capable, responsible, and willing to go through the process of registration, to own a firearm, they are not only accountable in the case of actions with said weapon outside what is legal, but it also allows them to provide some sense of personal security.  I know for a fact that a burglar would be much more inclined to break into a home in a liberal, anti-gun ownership supporting area rather than, say, the heart of Texas.  Why?

Well, in Texas, they may be met with the ugly end of a pistol, that's why.

Liberals have it in their head that making guns illegal will keep them out of the hands of violent criminals.  *WRONG!*

 Look, most people commiting violent crimes do so with illegally obtained weapons.  If you remove the ability of responsible civilians who want some protection for their own home, then you essentially *remove* weapons from everyone *but* the criminals.

I only hope one day these vacant minded footsoldiers of the socialist party that has infiltrated the Dems camp and now functions under the guise of the Democratic party are held accountable for their dangerous views and already failed administration so far.

The people should not fear their Government,

The Government should fear the people. 

It's time to stop using facts and reasoning with these people.

Fight them with their own psychological, put down, rhetoric.

Andrea Mitchel is a hoplophobe.

Anybody who opens their mouth and irrationally want guns banned so that crime goes up like it did in DC are to be called hoplophobes. Pass it on.

Is she still under anaesthesia from another plastic surgery? If not someone needs to get this idiot a dictionary because she OBVIOUSLY doesn't know what an assault weapon is.

This is why conservatives need a voice, and a loud one at that. America wake up, cause it will be to late very soon!

vicis pro insurgo est propinquus

In fact, 100% of the guns used in the drug trade are already illegal, "military style" or otherwise.  Hillary knows it; Annnnndrea is too drunk to figure it out. 

Hillary will just keep playing the demagogue; Annnnnndrea will have another drink.

"Beauty is only skin deep, but liberal's to the bone." - me

Well...the liberals don't need to take the guns!

HAVE YOU SEEN THE PRICE OF AMMO LATELY?????

This stuff scares the crap outta me, I mean its like Gillette, charge 50 cents for a razor, charge 20 bucks for the blades.....

thats where they're going with this now.

Barack Obama= Half Honkey...ALL Donkey

Just saw Hillary on Greta, spewing nonsense about the Mexican gun issue. There was so much BS in what she said that I would need a transcript to take it all apart. Hillary said that our country was safer during the years of the 'assault weapons ban'; no statistics provided of course. Hillary (and others during Greta's Mexican trip) repeat the garbage about Mexican gangs getting 'all their weapons' just across the border. The distinction between military automatic weapons, grenades, rocket launchers and civilian weapons was totally ignored. The BS was knee deep.

I don't know if Greta is so totally ignorant about guns, or if she is a liberal on this issue, but never before have I heard so much crap on Fox News go unchallenged.

Americans are blamed for Mexico's ills due to the insatiable demand for illegal drugs in the U. S.

Americans are blamed for Mexico's ills for satisfying the insatiable demand for illegal weapons in Mexico.

Guess that we can't catch a break on either side of the supply & demand equation. I'm a tad surprised that even the good folks at FOX haven't picked up on this twisted lefty logic.

And then there's the minor detail that "assault" weapons are not legally sold to the general public and haven't been for many a year. Of course, if you want to redefine a semi-automatic rifle as an assault weapon, ban possession & sales in the U. S., it could possibly lead to the day when Mexicans have the edge in firearm choices.

Contrary to the big media deception, guns are not illegal in Mexico and that includes semi-autos. They have much tighter restrictions that mostly focus on caliber size; the restrictions don't have much enforcement and are frequently bent/ignored depending upon one's social status & connections.

Perhaps the left would be open to gun bans/restictions in the U. S. that mimic those of Canada & Mexico, laws that are strictly words on paper, but rarely enforced. Canadian complience (under 20%) w/their newest registration laws has been so bad that the government removed the criminal penalties and may eventually scrap all registration requirements.

This stuff just boils me........
