Another Murder Linked to US Gunwalker Case
This really isn’t news if you have been following Gunwalker, and it isn’t fair to blame the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives for the murders of US Border Agent Brian Terry or Mario Gonzalez Rodriguez. The thugs who killed these men, and many other Americans and Mexicans, would have used other weapons – probably firearms smuggled across Mexico’s border with Guatemala – if BATFE had not sanctioned the weapons they did use. The brutal and violent evil bastard Mexican drug thugs probably would have preferred to commit the murders with full automatic AK-47s instead of the semi-automatic “variants” BATFE intentionally put into their hands.
The egregious part of this is not that people died. It is that BATFE, the Presidents of the United States and Mexico, and the US Secretary of State all claimed drug-fueled firearm violence in Mexico should be blamed on the Second Amendment of the Constitution of the United States. These sly and disingenuous evil bastards were clamoring for suppression of Americans’ civil rights based on false information they promulgated.
TOC has commented on this multiple times. Here are two of those posts.
There is not a better argument for abandoning the failed and costly “War on Drugs,” nor for disbanding BATFE. There is also an argument here for Mexican officials to increase their own southern border security rather than actively subverting ours.
