Anti-Gunners Blame U.S. Illicit Guns to Mexico, in Mexico’s 8,000 Deaths; Want More Gun Controls:
By Marc Chamot

Guns from America Kill, an entitled letter to the editor in the San Francisco Chronicle by a San Francisco leftie loon Ralph E. Stone.

I don’t normally write about private citizens, because there is a fine line between libel and defamation. You can be sued and even go to jail if you’re not careful.

Having been with print media for most of my life, one would know the extent of one’s limitations as to what can be written, and not be written in the media and on the Net.

Politicians and public officials are usually a safe bet to write about, and also any nonprofit groups that cater to taxpayer moneys, and by law are all open for public scrutiny.

Public figures are another safe bet to write about. Who are public figures you may ask? Don’t get public figures confused with public officials; they are two entirely different things.

Public figures are any one, or anybody who is in the media, or has been written about by the media, (biggest example are celebrities and sports athletes), publishers, and or has written for the media and the Net. It means you, (the bloggers), and me, writers, and journalists everywhere.

So technically folks, Marc Chamot is a public figure, and so are the thousands of bloggers who write and post on the Net, and for that reason alone we all have LIMITED to no libel protections compared to a private citizen who isn’t a public figure. Get it?

Sure, if you don’t like what Chamot writes, you can call me whatever you want, but don’t lie about me. For example, call me an imbecile, a moron, an ignoramus, or an idiot is fine, but you can’t say that Marc Chamot is a crook, a thief, a murderer, and a bank robber, and such, because you’d be distorting the true facts about Marc Chamot. Then you would be defaming my character and libeling.

Private citizens under no circumstances can have their names run through the mud grinder of any media, calling them names, and telling lies is a no-no, because it would be called libel and defamations. You could be sued and be shut down, unless you have proof to back up your claim.

I don’t know this idiotic, Ralph E Stone of San Francisco from Adam. With that idiotic letter to the San Francisco Chronicle, Mr. Stone just went from a libel protected individual to a public figure, “Jackass” in matter of minutes!

What did Ralph E Stone write about in his letter to the editor that made this blogger burst his jugular veins with anger? It was his ignorant and clueless attacks on American gun owners. It was over the Associated Press reports and because of illicit American guns ending up in Mexico.

The Letter:
Guns from America Kill “War on Drugs” has resulted in more than 8,000 deaths in the last three years, with about 5,376 this year alone. Those killed include judges, police, witnesses, journalists, and innocent citizens. There is a growing perception that among Mexicans that the government is losing the war against these well armed drug cartels.

However little is said about the source of the weapons used in these killings. From 2004 to 2007, weapons found discarded at shootings in Mexico or confiscated from the drug cartels were traced to 15 states.

Texas sellers were the source of 2,085 weapons, California was runner up with 1,006, Texas and California together are the source of more than the combined total of weapons from 13 other states.

The illicit drugs flow north and the weapons flow south. We have heard the old canard that “people, not guns, kill people.”

Actually, it is people with guns that kill the most people. Obviously, the United States and Mexico must place more emphasis on catching gunrunners and “TIGHTENING” and enforcing the laws regarding the sale and purchase of weapons in the U.S.

I want to rebut Mr. Stone’s argument above, he only pointed out to two minor problems that we have with Mexico, gun deaths and illicit guns going to Mexico. He failed to include the other serious problems that we have with Mexico into his argument. Which is, illegal immigration and illegal drugs that are still coming here.

In his letter, Mr. Stone fails to count the number of U.S. drug related deaths, because of illicit drugs coming from Mexico, and the rampant criminal illegal aliens, crimes that are still being committed, from petty misdeeds to homicides that are constantly afflicting our cities and towns.

So it’s finally refreshing to hear from the Mexican people who are finally seeing their border problems from the other side. Illegal aliens and drugs was an American phenomenon, guns and death are now their phenomenon.

So now, Mr. Stone! And along with your other typical liberals that want America to change its gun laws to suit your ideologies/idiocies. Nope! Sorry old chap, it doesn’t work that way here.

Mexico needs to cooperate more with the United States, and help us create a more secure border, barriers, walls, and by doing more in curtailing illicit drugs from moving up north, and especially cutting off the flow of unwanted illegal aliens in our country. And only then, and maybe just then, guns will slowly diminish in Mexico.
