American Bullets, Mexican Blood
Categorized under Frontera , Ley , Política Estados Unidos | Tags: borders, Mexican Cartels, Mexico
MANY PEOPLE, when arguing me and trying to convince me of how evil and ugly and degraded Mexico is, like to minus part of the equation from their awareness. Talk about crime in Tijuana, but don't talk about the culture of criminality that a border creates with its unnatural divisions and inequalities; talk about revolution, but don't talk about oppression; talk about gun gangs, but don't talk about where the guns come from. And so on.
TIJUANA, Mexico -- Assassins blasted Ricardo Rosas Alvarado, a member of an elite state police force, with a blizzard of bullets pumped out of AK-47 assault rifles. [...]Two hours later, a small army of cartel hit men descended on a federal police office and bunkhouse in this crowded city at one of the world's busiest border crossings. [...]
The high-powered guns used in both incidents on the evening of Sept. 24 undoubtedly came from the United States, say police here, who estimate that 100 percent of drug-related killings are committed with smuggled U.S. weapons. [...]
Weapons have been smuggled into Mexico for decades. [...] But law enforcement officers on both sides of the border have never seen anything like the flood of guns now surging into Mexico. The increase has been stoked by the cartel war and by the ease of buying high-powered weapons since the U.S. assault weapons ban was not renewed in 2004, William Newell, a special agent in charge of the ATF's Phoenix office, said in an interview.
We enforce the idea of a bordered separation that creates much demand, we supply the guns that the "bad guys" use, we supply the market for their drug sales, we enact laws that create a blackmarket in which to sell them, and then we supply the money for the cops to buy more weaponry when they are outgunned by those people wh profit from the existence of that market. It's a cycle and a circle, we are all partners in crime.

Or maybe, just maybe the increased accessibility is one form of so called border control. And an even better ploy to sell to the American public about how "evil & corrupt tha meskins" are.

You've heard of the Second Amendment, haven't you? It gives you the right to keep and bear arms in order to defend yourself against criminals and government tyranny. Guns are made and sold in America because of the second ammendment. If you repeal it, only the criminals will have the guns. It's basic common sense.
I've personally only needed to own guns because of the Mexicans that live near me. One was involved in a shooting not to long ago. I witnessed him beating his girlfriend, and as I was running outside to help her, I heard several gunshots fired. The next day, I watched him describing the incident to his friends. My testimony helped the cops put him away for 30 years.
My second ammendment rights afforded me the opportunity to go to my gun safe and get out my shotgun after the shooting in case the aforementioned Mexican decided he wanted to come into our apartment complex and assault anyone who witnessed his malfeasance. It allows me to defend my wife and myself.
I guess I can see why you would support a gun ban. It would prevent law-abiding American citizens from using their God-given right to defend their families from Mexican gangsterism and thuggery, which has become the most salient hallmark of Mexican-American culture at this point, aside from the food, which we can easily do without. I do enjoy Patron tequila, however.
Marxicans like yourself will disarm me when you've pried my guns from my cold, dead fingers. Judging by how poorly Mexicans shoot (they usually seem to hit innocent women and children with their poor aim), that will be after I've taken out several of you with me. My wife shoots pretty damn well also, so you can expect to eat several rounds from her as well.
Why does every Mexican with a site like this have such poor rhetorical skills? I appreciate the attempts to emulate Zach de la Rocha, but it really makes you look like you can't write the English language. Something tells me your Spanish grammar would be little better. Then again, the lack of sentence structure and introspective ability you've demonstrated with this post are probably just indicative of the mean Mexican IQ.Palabras por PRCalDude spat forth on el 3 de Noviembre, 2007 at 07:48 AM

PRCalDude, I accept your proposal to pry your weapon from your cold dead fingers. Where and when would you like to meet?
(Nez, hehehe sorry I couldn't resist, racist morons are fun to fuck around with a bit, they remind me of fish flipping around on a boat deck...)

Mind you, if you rely on your guns to fight off "tyranny" it would be to late by far. I don't think this guy is ready for the revolution. And if anyone comes after his guns, they will come at him with helicopters, flash bang grenades, lots of body armor and M4 carbines, at 3 in the morning. Wait, remind me again why the call those white sleeves less shirts "wife beaters"?

PRCalDude, show me another "Mexican with a site like this." Ya liar.
OH, and if spelling amendment with three Ms and using phrases like "witnessed his malfeasance" is your idea of good "rhetorical skills" then I think you've been sniffing your own farts too long, amigo!
Kai, you know you're always welcome to mock the racist haters who come here. Although, sadly, it's too easy. Like eating taffy when you need steak.

thank ya jim. i do meet my share out here. the part they don't get is how predictable they appear after a few dozen. how dull, in that predictability. how forgettable, in that dullness. although it is entertaining to watch them wrestle with this demon phantasm in their mind, this "Mexican" idea they hate so much.
