Obama Blames Mexican Violence on American Taste for Drugs and Guns

Clearly, then, more prohibition is the way to go

Speaking in Mexico on Friday, President Barack Obama blamed U.S. gun manufactures for the violence in the country, adding that much of it stems from the American demand for illegal drugs.

"Much of the root cause for violence that has been happening here in Mexico, for which so many Mexicans have suffered, is the demand for illegal drugs in the United States," Obama said during a speech at Mexico's Anthropology Museum

He then turned his attention to U.S. gun owners and gun control.

"Most of the guns used to commit violence here in Mexico come from the United States," Obama said.
