Mexico's ambassador to the United States has now picked up as a red herring an Obama administration drumbeat about US-origin firearms in the hands of his country's drug cartels. The drum major and majorette, Attorney General Eic Holder and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have famously suggested that the cartels' armories can be weakened by more gun control in Mexico's neighbor to the north, the United States.
Former U.S. Representative Tom Tancredo (R-Colo,) asks some embarrassing questions of the Ambassador, and notes without apology, "It is obvious that Obama’s teams at the Justice Department and the State Department are exploiting the violence in Mexico to justify more restrictions on gun ownership by Americans."
