In addition to massive quantities of drugs, Mexican drug cartels are shipping plenty of violence north.
U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder says, "These cartels will be destroyed." Well, maybe. But nowhere does one read that Holder supports ending Prohibition II and, thereby, taking away the criminal profits providing the cartels' power.
Instead, he recommends re-instituting a U.S. ban on the sale of assault weapons! That, he said, would help reduce the bloodshed in Mexico, where last year 6,000 people were killed in drug-related violence.
A new front in the war against the Second Amendment, maybe?
How credulous does this man think we are? (Very credulous, apparently; this foolishness comes quickly on top of his recent condemnation of Americans' "cowardice" as to discussing race.)
