People like you want to take all guns away because people make poor choices with them, but when it comes to drugs you want them to make all the choices they want and die from it at a rate of 200 a day?

Why is it far more people die from drugs than guns, not even close, yet you only care about people with guns? In addition, any idea how much gun violence is generated from the drug trade? Just ask Obama who gave the drug cartels guns via his Fast and Furious program.

So, the child who is given candy laced with deadly fentanyl should be allowed to make a poor choice? Or how about the police officer that finds drugs that is potent enough to kill them just by touching it or breathing the air? Did the make poor choices as well?

Try again

Nope.

People like me have owned guns and are responsible and not suffer in phantasms of nonexistent powers trying to take all guns away. I could show you my last permit to carry concealed, but I fear for your mental and emotional stability if I did.

Mexico is cooperating with Sleepy Jose's open border policy. Why shouldn't they? If they can push their problemos norte , so much less for them to deal with.

Obrador will change his tune if the adults take back over next year in America.

Since our media is worthless, no one remembers how Trump got in Obrador's face and TOLD HIM you WILL use your forces to guard YOUR border and stop the caravans and retain the immigrants in Mexico. I remember because I live in Arizona and I have a particular interest in what goes on at the border.

MEXICO CITY (AP) — Mexico’s president said Friday he won’t fight Mexican drug cartels on U.S. orders, in the clearest explanation yet of his refusal to confront the gangs.

Over the years, President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has laid out various justifications for his “hugs, not bullets” policy of avoiding clashes with the cartels. In the past he has said “you cannot fight violence with violence,” and on other occasions he has argued the government has to address “the causes” of drug cartel violence, ascribing them to poverty or a lack of opportunities.

But on Friday, while discussing his refusal to go after the cartels, he made it clear he viewed it as part of what he called a “Mexico First” policy.

"We are not going to act as policemen for any foreign government,” López Obrador said at his daily news briefing. “Mexico First. Our home comes first.”

López Obrador basically argued that drugs were a U.S. problem, not a Mexican one. He offered to help limit the flow of drugs into the United States, but only, he said, on humanitarian grounds.

“Of course we are going to cooperate in fighting drugs, above all because it has become a very sensitive, very sad humanitarian issue, because a lot of young people are dying in the United States because of fentanyl,” the president said. Over 70,000 Americans die annually because of synthetic opioids like fentanyl, which are mainly made in Mexico from precursor chemicals smuggled in from China.

How does any of this logic even make sense?

1. You cannot fight violence with violence? What utter hogwash. Sure you can. That is what a military and police force are for. Hugs not bullets? Is he hugging the drug cartels?

2. Poverty and lack of opportunities is the cause of drugs? Drugs are making poverty and a lack of opportunity worse. Again, what utter hogwash.

3. Mexico first policy? Drugs are not a Mexican problem? If poverty is at the core of the drug problem, then why are so many Mexicans fleeing Mexico? Is it not because of poverty in Mexico? If so, why does Mexico not have a bigger drug problem than the US? If not, then why are they coming to the US? And why do we get stories in Mexico about farmers picking up machetes to fight off drug cartels?

Over 70,000 Americans are dying because of this hogwash from drugs coming from the country of the Mexican President, who is nothing else than one of the ring leaders of the drug cartels because he does their bidding. All of the blood of those people are on his hands, but he does not care because they are not Mexican?

Really?

American needs to implement drone warfare on these people. It really would not be hard to take them all out if their was a political will to do it. And if the US does that and the Mexican President gets upset, offer him an opportunity for some hugs.
