In contrast, they can spend twice that much and get a semi-automatic pistol here in the U.S.<br /><br />Now I know drugs impede mental function, but I think even dopers can figure this one out.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-46892106361223044522010-05-19T19:53:55.145-05:002010-05-19T19:53:55.145-05:00this stuff just pisses people off.this stuff just pisses people off.Ginohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09606046924332159076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-77922419259606225922010-05-19T19:49:54.697-05:002010-05-19T19:49:54.697-05:00I read in the Wall Street Journal today that Mr. C...I read in the Wall Street Journal today that Mr. Calderon is blaming the United States gun laws on escalating the war on drugs in Mexico. While there may some truth to this, Mr. Calderon has done next to nothing to secure his border to keep these weapons from entering his country. <br /><br />Mexico has ignored their drug problem for years, hasn't trained an effective military, and now their drug war is America's problem. <br /><br />There are many fingers to point, one of which is America's incessant desire for illicit drugs. <br /><br />Instead of publicly decrying America as the problem, go home, clean your house, and privately ask America to do the same. <br /><br />GerryGerryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12423043696349178283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-3334267017885310422010-05-19T15:42:23.862-05:002010-05-19T15:42:23.862-05:00What WB says.

I think "chutzpah" fits it better--sheer gall, like the guy who asked the court for mercy after being convicted of murdering his parents because (sob) he was an orphan.<br /><br />And as much as I want to get a decent fence on the border, and to repatriate criminals, I have to admit Calderon is probably between a rock and a hard place. If the U.S. ever enforces its laws, he's probably got a revolution on his hands.Bike Bubbahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08193546045614393425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-48496864199353014742010-05-19T13:03:55.727-05:002010-05-19T13:03:55.727-05:00This is of course George Bush's fault.This is of course George Bush's fault.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19838051.post-75806139012694808202010-05-19T12:58:26.104-05:002010-05-19T12:58:26.104-05:00Cojones?
