U.S. guns blamed for Jamaican crime

Attempts to blame the U.S. for Jamaican crime are not new. Noises were being made about this years ago. And not just for U.S. guns being responsible for "gun deaths" in Jamaica, but also for U.S. guns being responsible for "gun deaths" in Canada.

Then again, we see the same tactic exploited domestically, with invented terms like "the Iron Pipeline" being used to decry states with "lax gun laws." [More]

Today's Gun Rights Examiner column shows how an old story by the anti-gunners has been dusted off to capitalize on a new approach.

Also get the latest from my fellow GREs, including the return of Kurt Hofmann.

And if you missed the weekend posts, here they are:

• GAO 'Mexican crime gun' report 'incomplete'
• Is ATF using 'heavy-handed tactics' on border state gun owners?
