"Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States," President Obama said during a speech at Mexico's Anthropology Museum. "I think many of you know that in America, our Constitution guarantees our individual right to bear arms. And as president, I swore an oath to uphold that right, and I always will."

What a hypocritical speech he gave. But most Americans are so uninformed by MSNBC, ABC, CBS, CNN etc that they would have no idea of the truth. Shame, on the journalists, they are no longer journalists, they are simply sycophants that kiss the .... of the Democratic party.

Massive corruption in the Mexican government is the reason they don't eliminate the cartels.

That is merely a consequence of the growth of the cartels spurred on by the demand in the US. Analogues to a large corporation sending lobbiests to Washington to petition on their behalf to Either maintain the millions of dollars of revenue or to further increase revenue/profit making opportunities. The cartels if viewed as a legal business, would be the Goldman-sachs or wal-mart of the criminal world.
