Re: Mexico drug violence is the red herring for gun control

Tonight our local ABC TV station repeated the false story that 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico were traced to the U.S.

The facts are:
-That only 17 percent of the guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S.
-That it is true that over 90 percent of the traced firearms originate from the U.S.
-That Mexico only asks for tracing of guns they KNOW were likely to have come from the U.S. and that have serial numbers.
-That 68 percent of the firearms that were recovered were never submitted for tracing because the Mexicans knew they did not come from the U.S.
For the rest of the story see http://www.foxnews.com/politics/electio ... r-claimed/

Nobama should have told the Mexicans that we will stop the illegal flow of firearms to Mexico after you stop the illegal flow of Mexican nationals into the U.S. and that if you don't want to do that then build a border fence to stop U.S. guns from getting into Mexico.
