Felipe Calderon
« on: May 24, 2010, 07:49:54 AM »
This is an article sent to me in my NRA Newsletter dated 5/21/2010.


"On  Thursday, Felipe Calderon, the president of Mexico, where prohibitive  gun laws prevent good people from having firearms for protection  against criminals and governments of dubious legitimacy (historically  the norm in Mexico), encouraged Congress to reinstate the federal  "assault weapon" ban. With a warning seemingly designed to appeal to  those who believe that speaking out against the Obama Administration's  policies are one step short of sedition or worse, Calderon said, "f  you do not regulate the sale of these weapons in the right way, nothing  guarantees that criminals here in the United States with access to the  same power of weapons will not decide to challenge American authorities  and civilians."

Calderon  also misinformed Congress, claiming that violence in Mexico rose  significantly after the U.S. ban expired in 2004. In fact, Mexico's murder rate has been stable  since 2003 and remains well below rates recorded previously. However,  he did not explain why violent crime has declined significantly in the  U.S. since the ban expired, or how a ban on flash suppressors and  bayonet mounts relates to drug thugs in Mexico or anywhere else."


This upsets me.  To bad the words "you handle your sh!t and I will handle mine", can't be politically acceptable because that is what needs to be told to Calderon.  Im sure it could have been said with some "suger" on it but our President lacks the backbone to do so.

He also commented on Arizona's immigration law. 

What part of "ILLEGAL" does he not understand?

Yes because the US should be taking advice from Mexico on how to run a country.  They should fix their own country before they even consider giving advice to anyone else.

The Calderon speech was ridiculous. Mexico definitely shouldn't be giving advice on gun control when many of the cartel's arms come from their army and police force.

Nor should they be giving advice on how to handle immigration. In Mexico, illegals are often the target of corrupt military and government agents who routinely rob, assault, and sometimes kill them. In addition, Mexico REQUIRES all immigrants to provide documentation of a job, savings, and the ability to pay for their own healthcare.
