“We've seen the overall statistic that 17% of guns recovered from drug cartel crimes came from the U.S.”

No, we've seen the statistic that 17% of crime guns submitted to the U.S. for tracing came from the U.S..

Why would “drug cartel” members pay inflated prices for semi automatic AK 47’s from the U.S., and semi automatic Bushmaster rifles which are selling for twice as much as fully automatic M-16’s true unit price to the military?
Fully automatic weapons are available all over the turd world at rock bottom prices. Every Palestinian has two or three even though they can't afford shoes or a dentist.
Could it be that other countries have the audacity to actually enforce their borders?
More Marxist propaganda from Hearst. I wonder where Patti got her AK47 from?

That's true.

I have made the same point myself.
