I am jazzed to know that there are a lot of us paying attention and seeing this stuff...

Like I said in the other thread...At least we are all up to speed...

Now, the question is...

What should we do about this??? I believe these lies are too important to just snicker in the back of the classroom about and let go...Just because we know they are lies...

This keeps happening over and over again, and it needs to be stopped...

Sure, you can exercise your First Amendment, but lieing under that cover is not right...

And this BATFE official lied to a congressional hearing...I thought you took an oath to testify truthfully...

If this guy hides under the excuse that the information was what they thought at the time was accurate...Then incompetence sure is a good way to be shown the door at this point??? People I know get fired for less...

It is very good news that everyone is keeping up to date on the matters that involve all of us.

I agree that something must be done to get the truth out. As you pointed this is happening over and over again, and it must stop!

The BATFE offical lied before a congressional hearing. I have to wonder where they are getting their information from? He needs to be fired, and issue an appoligy to congress, and the American people...that goes for Hillary, also.

What can we do to get the truth out, before the weasels in Washington pushes another bill through in the middle of the night. Something must be done and done soon. I have already contacted our Senators, any other suggestions.

The Myth of 90 Percent: Only a Small Fraction of Guns in Mexico Come From U.S.
While 90 percent of the guns traced to the U.S. actually originated in the United States, the percent traced to the U.S. is only about 17 percent of the total number of guns reaching Mexico.

You've heard this shocking "fact" before -- on TV and radio, in newspapers, on the Internet and from the highest politicians in the land: 90 percent of the weapons used to commit crimes in Mexico come from the United States.

-- Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said it to reporters on a flight to Mexico City.

-- CBS newsman Bob Schieffer referred to it while interviewing President Obama.

-- California Sen. Dianne Feinstein said at a Senate hearing: "It is unacceptable to have 90 percent of the guns that are picked up in Mexico and used to shoot judges, police officers and mayors ... come from the United States."

-- William Hoover, assistant director for field operations at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, testified in the House of Representatives that "there is more than enough evidence to indicate that over 90 percent of the firearms that have either been recovered in, or interdicted in transport to Mexico, originated from various sources within the United States."

There's just one problem with the 90 percent "statistic" and it's a big one:

It's just not true!

In fact, it's not even close. By all accounts, it's probably around 17 percent.

Go to Fox news for the full storm, it is worth reading....
