No Cash or Guns in United States

Solves Mexico Border Drug Problem

According To Obama

If stopping the drugs from going into the United States from Mexico across our border is the issue, then do what it takes to do it, and don't try to use the issue to take guns away from our law abiding citizens. Stopping cash and guns from getting into Mexico should be Mexico's problem and not ours.

Obama says that the way to stop trafficking come from Mexico is by stopping guns and cash going into Mexico. If that makes sense, then all that he has to do is to make sure that nobody in the United States has any guns or cash. Well, it seems to me that has been his plan. I am waiting for Obama to give me reasons to think otherwise, which I would like, so I can disagree with those who want him to fail, since those are the people I have disagreed on most everything for eight years.

Fighting the drug war from the point of view that we need to stop guns and cash going into Mexico sounds a lot like mandating that women should not be allowed to wear provocative clothing so that nobody will want to rape them. It is the same kind of mentality. Just because women are not allowed to be attractive does not mean that they won't be raped any more than trying to keep money and guns from going into Mexico will stop drugs from getting into the United States.

If Mexico didn't get all the money coming in from selling drugs in the United States, what would that do to their economy? So after the taxpayers pay for all this increased enforcement on the border and have all of their gun rights taken away, then the taxpayers will get to pay for bailing out Mexico's economy as a result of less drug sales, just like we did for Columbia. Since people in the United States will still want drugs, maybe Canada will become the next place that drug cartels will be based out of, and then taxpayers can pay to increase border control there, and then when their drug business subsides, the taxpayers can give Canada money.

As long as there are people in the United States who want to buy drugs, there will always be a drug market, and the drugs will come from somewhere. As long as drugs are illegal, there will be more and more criminals on our streets and in our neighborhoods, and more taxpayer money will go to catch them. What we really need is a new Federal law that prohibits people from even thinking about drugs. Maybe then nobody would want drugs. In the meantime, any reason Obama, and those who want to make us a New World Order instead of a Constitutional Republic, will find out any rational to justify taking guns away from law abiding citizens.
