It's ALL the fault of the United States

ABC News: Mexican Drug Violence
U.S. Constitution's Fault
By Warner Todd Huston April 22, 2008

Sign at the US/Mexico border.

True to the liberal penchant for blaming every ill in the world on the USA, ABC News has produced a "report" claiming that the increasing number of guns and drug cartel violence in Mexico is all the fault of... the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution. That's right, it isn't the drug dealers and killers in Mexico that are at fault, it's James Madison and the Founding Father's fault! Now, before you imagine that I am employing hyperbole in my introduction, just look at the title of their piece: "U.S. Guns Arming Mexican Drug Gangs; Second Amendment to Blame?"

ABC wrote that "U.S. gun stores and gun shows are the source of more than 90 percent of the weapons being used by Mexico's ruthless drug cartels," but then noted that "It's virtually impossible to buy a firearm in Mexico as a private citizen."

What? They outlawed guns and now only outlaws and murderers have guns? But, but, but -- it isn't fair to blame them -- who could have predicted that?

Oh, woe is us -- if only it hadn't been for the United States -- these criminals would have no guns. Woe, woe, woe.
