I would not say the same for hand guns.

Regardless of how you feel about gun ownership for U.S. citizens, the constitution doesn't authorize you to smuggle weapons out of the country and into Mexico to arm their drug gangs. And that's what Holder is talking about here. To stretch that into an elaborate liberal plot to deny gun ownership in this country, is quite a stretch.av8r wrote:In Mexico, according to the Wall Street Journal, Holder was asked if the administration might encounter constitutional issues as it tries to crack down on alleged gun trafficking. His response: "I don't think our Second Amendment will stand in the way of efforts we have begun and will expand upon."

Though I suppose, since the Second Amendment Foundation's rant speaks of gun rights for "Americans", that rightly would include Mexicans, Canadians, Brazilians, Peruvians, and so on -- all citizens of the Americas. Or is that just sloppy rhetoric to match the sloppy thinking?

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

You could be right. Let's grant that you are -- that there's a monolithic coordinated desire and plan, within the legislative and executive branches of the federal government and its corporate owners, to disarm all citizens. What is the PURPOSE behind the desire? Is this simply disarmament for its own sake? Or, more likely, is disarmament just phase one of a larger plan? What is the follow-on plan? What is the set of objectives the planners have in mind, which they can't do while we have guns, but will begin to implement once the disarmament is accomplished? What's the middle game and the end game?
