Mexico, Guns, and the U.S.

Delegate Norton Calls on Mexico to Be “Very, Very Angry” With U.S., Heritage Foundation Foundry, July 16, 2009. "In a recent meeting of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, D.C. Delegate Eleanor Holmes Norton (D) told Lanny Breuer, Assistant Attorney General of the Criminal Division within the Justice Department, that it was 'extremely embarrassing that Mexico has been as kind to us.' According to Delegate Norton, the U.S. bears primary responsibility for the armed lawlessness of Mexico’s drug cartels. From the Mexican perspective, Delegate Norton argued the U.S. is 'essentially shipping down arms to kill my people'. If she were Mexican, she 'would have been very, very angry at the Big Kahuna in the north.' "
