Kerry’s Absolutely Backwards Gun Control.

[Houston Chronicle] At Monday’s hearing, [Senate Foreign Relations Committee] committee Chairman Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., said he had been shocked to see killings and beheadings “just a stone’s throw across the Rio Grande from where we’re sitting this morning.”

Across the border, thousands of Mexican soldiers patrol Ciudad Juarez, which saw about 2,000 murders in 14 months.

Kerry called for a ban on the imports of assault rifles, such as the AK-47, into the United States.

Say what? So, in order to combat Mexican drug cartels Sen. Kerry proposes making it more difficult for American citizens living on the border to protect themselves and their families. The senator is going to have to better explain such backwards logic to us. The only thing more gun control laws will do is make it more difficult for law-abiding citizens to defend themselves, not more difficult for criminals, who don’t follow any laws in the first place. That’s why we call them “criminals,” Sen. Kerry.
