The government of Mexico has expressed concern over the shooting in El Paso, where several Mexican nationals died, but went further – challenging US gun laws in the process. The Washington Examiner reports:
Mexican President Andrés Manuel López Obrador is pushing the United States to adopt stricter gun laws after several Mexican nationals died in a mass shooting in El Paso.
A gunman entered an El Paso Walmart on Saturday and went on a shooting spree that killed 22 people and left at least 24 others injured. The alleged gunman is in police custody.
“We’re very respectful of what other governments decide, but we think that these lamentable events that occurred in the United Sates should lead to reflection, analysis and the decision to control the indiscriminate sale of arms,” López Obrador said at a Monday press conference.
“It is not our disposition to involve ourselves in the internal affairs of any country, but this topic should be considered again because it affects many people, in this case Americans as well as Mexicans,” López Obrador said.
The right to bear arms is a fundamentally American right, and Mexico’s own gun violence despite strong gun control negates any policy advice they might have.
The President of Mexico, should PRACTICE what he preaches, and clean up his own house, Before telling President Trump ANYTHING !!!
The world would love to disarm the United States. We the people are the biggest army in the world. Our guns keep us free, the democratic government knows this.
I consider Mexico to be a thriving drug lord
paradise, it’s a shame reminds me of the Baltimore issue, when complaints about border, but he can’t even fix his own rat infested crime ridden city.
Mexico’s president, not much to brag about
There…….is there?
Hey Mexico Look in your own backyard before you start telling other countries what to do. You have a lot of danger in your country too. A lot of killings of your own people by drug cartels and you do nothing. So F off.
Andrés Manuel López Obrador – May I just refer to this Communist trash as “Andy?”–campaigned on a “Down with Trump” platform which was just as corrupt and inflated as the Democrat Media’s on our own side of the border.
Unless he’s as flatlined as Meet The Left’s Upchucked Todd, Andy is just flatulating in the wind…hoping it will add some sort of substance to the Democrat Media’s exploitation of the two mass shootings. He does not care if you can see the obvious irony in his fake indignation.
Mexico’s gun laws are more restrictive than Canada’s. And yet the cartel’s thugs, the imported Mercs, human traffickers and common criminals…ALL have arsenals–including fully automatic (bona-fide) assault rifles, large arms, such as RPG’s and LAWS rocket launchers, 20mm cannon, and medium to large mortars. And there are, daily, new mutilated corpses hanging from dozens of sites all through northern Mexican cities. On top of that, about 200 plus Americans are murdered annually in Mexico.
And he’s moralizing to us?
none of their “F” ing business what we-the-people do here, they need to fix their own problems !!!
It is understandable and proper that President Obrador should be concerned about Mexican citizens being harmed while visiting a foreign country. But we have to ask if they were legally visiting the United States or had they entered our county illegally? The answer either way does not render their deaths any less wrong or horrific. But if they were not suppose to be there and had not been there they would not have been in harms way. He has no right to blame the United States if he can’t keep his citizens at home. The responsibility for this vile crime and their deaths is that of the perpetrator. Before Obradoa starts criticizing and handing out advice he should shut down the cartels and clean up the crime in his own country. If he would secure his side of the boarder we would all have less problems.
It doesn’t matter. Andrés Manuel López Obrador …. GO POUND SAND.
Dear MR. MEXICAN PRESIDENT, I suggest you CLEAN UP YOUR OWN GUN PROBLEM WITH YOUR DRUG BUDDIES BEFORE STICKING YOUR NOSE INTO OUR 2ND AMMENDENT HERE IN THE USA!
That these countries mired in murder and corruption that spills over into the USA even dare to open their big mouth about gun control is obscene. You want to right to an opinion? Earn my respect first! Oh yeah you are so concerned you run a country so badly your citizens escape Mexico and pour into the US flooding and overloading the system here and now you want to order us around? I don’t think so.
Large Democrat run cities are perpetual murder zones, but that is always brushed aside. Isn’t it peculiar that so many seemingly unrelated bad guys decide to commit mass shootings right on cue just as the Russia Hoax fissiled out. This is mind control at its finest….MK ULTRA! We are seeing a big push for socialism and total takeover of our economy, and at the same time terrorists like “Antifa” are allowed to riot in the streets and attack people. These things are not a coincidence…they are orchestrated…the goal is complete disarmament of civilians so we will not be able to resist the ongoing despotic treason that is marching toward us every day.
I think they have it backwards. 46 (I assume) unarmed people before he was stopped.
Second amendment is all about this. Had US Citizens been armed, a lot fewer people would be dead or injured. Second amendment has nothing to do with hunting or target practice.
Says the country that has been home for MS-13 for decades. Clean up your own mess Mexico.
Land of the drug cartel murders and disappearances is talking. Land that sends tons of drugs here. When you clean your backyard then you can talk. What a joke.
MS-13 is actually homed in El Salvador. It is best to be factually correct, before making your post.
well Gerald is that why they enter the USA constantly ?? Their home is one thing, but their operations are all along the drug trail which includes about 2,000 miles of operations inside of Mehico when making a bee line to Juarez.. and it is a lot more involved when they detour to Mehico City for some partying and to kidnap some more children to sell in the USA to democrapo politicians..
I have heard rumors that guns were not allowed in Walmart. Hard to believe, they are allowed in Walmart in Florida. Walmart is the largest seller of civilian guns in the U.S.A. For them to ban guns on premises would be the height of Hypocrisy. Tell me this is not true.
If by any chance it is true, this is grounds for a major class action. When they make you “Check your guns at the door”, so to speak. They are taking on the responsibility to protect you. THEY FAILED! Any establishment that does this is legally responsible for your safety. They are telling you it is safe here,we will protect you, you don’t have to worry about protecting yourself.

Good evening Lisa,
I ran across this web page and thought it was interesting.
www.saveouramericanra.com
In my research of this website it appears this is a group of senior citizen volunteers.
A senior citizens group organizing a rights association to lobby in their spare time for the rights of Americans, as it relates to the safety of our kids, daily lives and communities, (specifically, GUN control). Not sure if it is possible, however I would love to pay for a small (Ad) for this group who
seams to care very much as they raise and lobby those (politicians who appear not to listen to anyone outside the voting poles) in their spare time
for awareness that keeps our daily lives safe and normal.
Great Group/Lets Love our Seniors 😊

that gun control really works well in schitcago, new dork, miami, houston, and L.A. yes we need more than the 700 plus gun laws that are already on the books.. and let us forget the mental health issue the way the democrapos have done for the last 30 years..
Juarez, just across the border from El Paso is one of the deadliest cities in the world. A few years ago it was the deadliest with the highest murder rate in the World. On the other hand El Paso may be the safest city in the world. a city of over 600,000 with a murder rate of about five (5) people per year over the past few years. While 25,000 died in Juarez in one year, El Paso was safe. It seemed just about everyone carried a gun, open or concealed. “An Armed Society is a Polite Society.” I think maybe the locals have gotten complacent. Where were all the guns Saturday? Vigilance pays off. Complacency has a price, in this case 22 dead and 25 wounded.
I am NOT blaming the El Pasoans, They had good reason to feel safe, they earned it. But they did get complacent and they paid a big price. The attack didn’t come from within, it came from 600 miles away, a very expensive lesson.
Strap those guns on again. Don’t leave home without them. Next time a terrorist comes “a callin, ” he won’t, he’ll think twice and if he is foolish enough to “Try his luck” it will come up “Boxcars.”
You people know this better than anyone; “It is better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.”
My prayers are with you all and I would bet the farm this will never happen in El Paso again.
When Mexico controls its own murder problems, that far eclipse that of the USA, then they might have a right to point the finger at another nation. A few years ago we could have called them, also on their government corruption but no longer. At least to my knowledge Mexico does not have a whole political party running on a communist platform, or are not electing people that are avowed enemies of their nation.
The only way madmen can be stopped from killing people is if gunpowder and guns could be un-invented, and then you would have to do away with anything hat would explode or burn rapidly. I can remember when 13 people were killed and several maimed for life by a man with a five gallon bucket of gasoline and a zippo lighter who walked into a night club where his ex-wife was dancing with another man. He threw the bucket, splashing gas over the interior of the club and most of the patrons, followed by the lighter. Lighters and gasoline should be outlawed, along with axes, hammers, clubs, which would mean outlawing trees, and steel because pipe can be made of steel. See the gist here? Before long rocks would be outlawed, and if a person owns property that has rocks on it the government would be able to confiscate it as a producer of deadly weapons. Where does it end?
It will end when every person in the USA is disarmed and living with the heel of an oppressive government on their throats, and then it will be to late.
Better yet keep your citizens out of our country and your noses out of our laws. If America would get on with building the wall we’ll save billions of wasted taxpayers dollars on babysitting these illegals. So I guess this way actually saved us a lil money too 👍
Well well, isn’t this calling the kettle black. Like what gives Mexico the right to interfere in our laws? Oh wait, with the open border they think this is their territory, WRONG. Really time for Mexico to clean up their own country in more ways than one before tel;ling us what to do. ’nuff said.
Good Call. 2A God, Guns, made America Free!!!
God Bless America!
When Guns are Outlawed only Outlaws will have Guns…
I AGREE! To part of your rant. however, once they disarm the people it is the beginning of the end for their freedom, a proven fact that history backs up!
You forgot cars and trucks which were used in France and other places.
They want your guns so they can take control because bad people can always get guns. Instead of more gun control we need less because if there were more good people with guns and not so many gun free zones maybe there would be less mass
shootings, Mexico wants Texas back Remember the Alamo
Remember, people who live in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. Has the Mexican president ever heard that ?
He doesn’t speak or understand English so I’ll translate: Gente que vive en casas de vidrio no deben tirar piedras
interfering with out right to bear arms? How about interfering with Mexico’s right to breathe (in certain situations)?
Mexican citizens have the right to breath in Mexico?
SAY, SAY, SAY, MEXICO CLEAN UP YOUR CARTEL FOLK BEFORE YOU WORRY ABOUT OUR GUN RIGHTS.
Should it be that Mexicans feel unsafe in the U..S., there is a very simple solution to their problem. Stay in Mexico. I personally believe that some Mexican laws are an abomination. That being th case, I am entitled to my opinions right, I avoid going to Mexico. I do not presume to tell Mexico what sort of laws they should of should not have.
Am I the only one who noticed that those people injured and killed this past weekend were shopping in places where guns are not allowed? I guess someone forgot to tell the shooters.
Hey Mexico, if you don’t like our laws stay out of our country. Mind your own business.
Mexico is a failed state. PERIOD.
I find it quite laughable that the Mexican president wants us to enact more gun laws, especially considering their crime and murder rate with the gangs and cartels. If you live in a glass house, don’t be throwing rocks!
It is a good thing guns are not allowed in Mexico. Safe there, right?
May I have some of your finest poisoned Vodka? Thank you Senor! Please help yourself and ransack my corpse and hotel room later.
Sie Senor!
Mexican president should have his drug cartels give their guns up. You know the guns the cartels kills Mexican citizens with. YES THOSE GUNS!
Its interesting that so many would ignore the bald fact that Mexico has a higher murder rate than we do. There are corpses strung from bridges, innocent bystanders cowering in fear, and rampant bullying of law enforcement officials. Yet … they seek to lecture us on how to rein in our society when theirs is in “runaway” mode.
When another foreign country wants to take away guns and our right to bare arms that should be a major wake up call!!
WHILE they’re invading your country, no less
I’ve been mad all day, first Trump kicks his supporters in the nuts 🥜 with his communist red flag BS, THUS LOSING MY VOTE, Now the president of a illegal alien nation ordering a said communist president to do what he won’t do himself. We have lost the 2nd because of cowards in Washington including Trump.
Really? Because of this ONE instance you are not voting for Trump? Trump is the ONLY one fighting for our rights and you will pull your vote. Sounds a little shallow to me.
You better keep voting for him, its a lot better than the democrats. Get online and complain about the redflag gun laws, its the only wat to let washington know how we feel
Also Mexico doesnt have any say in our laws, they just mad cause Trump told them he was going to cut aid to Mexico if they didnt help with the people sneaking across the border.
Trump is fighting for the Red flag laws THAT INCLUDE DUE PROCESS!!
If that comment changed your vote – quit BSing you weren’t goin to vote for President Trump anyway – if you can’t see the difference he has made – then your blind.
You ain’t lost anything but you can if Demorats get control.They can kill babies at will cause they got a stupid law passed to let them. But they want all guns cause the fear us and our way of life .They do NOT have the guts to punish the bad peple but they wish to CONTROL the good people. t is people like you who will lose our rights cause I am ready to fight for them
Perhaps you haven’t heard of “fast and furious” where arms were supplied to a Mexican drug gang who used these arms to murder rival gang members and to murder a u.s. Border agent, Thanks to Obama and holder.
Yeah, that was a group of geniuses!
More clueless spewing from one of the most crime ridden countries on our continent! Fix your own problems before even remotely attempting to ‘advise’ others.
Well, if they were in their own home country, they wouldn’t have a problem, would they ? Maybe you should convince them ALL, to come home. problem solved, SI ?
I would have two things that I would say to Mexico in reply to their statement:
1) keep your citizens in your country, especially the millions of illegal alien Mexicans in the US.
2) when you completely get the drug cartels under control and stop the mass murder of Mexicans in your own country, then we’ll talk. Until then, stop with the asinine comments about US safety. A lot of the crime and murder in our country is strictly because of your citizens in our country.
SHUT UP
Mexico has a lot of gall to tell the United States how to protect their people here in the United States. If they want to protect “THEIR” people, then keep them on the Mexican side of the border.
Amen!
Uh huh. This is a reasonable position for Mexico to take, because no one ever is shot in Mexico.
