Title: NRA convention opens in Houston
Post by: Dave Workman on May 03, 2013, 01:51:37 PM: Huge NRA opener in Houston as gun classes fill in Washington

Today, as President Barack Obama blamed gun violence in Mexico on American gun laws, thousands of National Rifle Association members descended on Houston to tell a different story, and one Washington-based firearms instructor confirmed that armed citizens are more interested than ever about personal safety.

The President must have a huge set to imply that the violence in Mexico is due to our gun laws when he's actually provided the cartels, through Eric Holder, thousands of weapons that have been traced to hundreds of killings, including the deaths of American Border Patrol agents. In addition, his directives to ICE and Border Patrol to ignore US laws which dictate the deportation of criminal immigrants completely undermines the efforts of these agencies to protect our population from what amounts to an invading force. I believe his actions and directives are illegal and subvert the laws of the land provided under the Constitution of the US. As such, he is possibly guilty of high crimes and should be subject to impeachment and prosecution for complicity in those deaths and for compromising the security and safety of American AND Mexican citizens. Is there any hope that someday our Congress will step up for the people an stop his trampling of our rights and laws? It doesn't appear so.
