Yes…guns…the magical answer to the worlds woes.
And guns from America are a special kind of magic. With these guns you’ll have no need to worry the people fighting the Syrian government would ever turn on each other in a bid for power that lasts several generations.Right?

Sure, donate the guns to them, presents from the American people. The taxpayers here will pick up the tab, and my buddies and my investments will scrape off the profits.

I guess I don’t understand the cartoon. Is “guns” a metaphor for religious hatred?

Republicans have NO credibility on foreign affairs. None.
They should stick to discussing tax cuts. Abortion.

I do support the US helping Turkey by enforcing no fly zones and targeting ground units, NOT near civilians, with rockets. Syria has an anti aircraft defense system designed for war with Israel so it is one of the most advanced in the middle east, however…no one has the reach and destructive firepower of the US. I do NOT support putting heavy weapons in the hands of people who, once their war in Syria ends, uses those weapons against Israel, Turkey, another of our allies, or us. Not to mention heavy weapons with technology that would be valuable enough to China or north korea they would try to acquire some from the rebels.
I don’t want to go to war with Syria, but it is time for NATO to do what it was made to do and in supporting its member nation, Turkey, end the brutal regime of Hassad.

Obama thought it was a good idea to give guns to Mexican drug dealers.

MItt seems to have mixed up his Biblical passages… or is this another Etch-A-Sketch moment? It’s supposed to be "They shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Isaiah 2:4)! Mitt-think before you speak for a change and look to knowledge, understanding, and diplomacy, diplomacy, diplomacy BEFORE ever considering arms!!!!!!

Romney could look for guns in US parks or on Amtrak. They’re legal there now.

Fast and Furious was began as Project Gunrunner in 2005. It became Fast and Furious in the fall of 2009 but was already funded and in operation in its previous incarnation. Obama was too busy with a recession heading for depression, healthcare, and trying to find a bipartisan republican to even consider giving military grade weapons to druglords. And why would he authorize guns to mexico but, as the NRA would have us believe, want to take them away from american citizens? Your reply is out of context, misleading, and needlessly divisive.
