60 Minutes just three minutes ago pushed the blatant lie of 90% of the drug cartel's machine guns come from the U.S. citizens. It is complete with pictures of M-60 belt fed GP machine guns, hand grenades, etc etc.
Not a peep on the origin of the select fire weapons coming from Mexican army defectors and the huge increase of State Department approval of sales of those very same M16's to Mexico.
Just the usual pack of lies, it our fault `cause American are evil enough to actually but the dope THEY smuggle into the U.S.
I included the link to 60 Minutes but my guess is they will not put the hit piece on their website.
90% of gangmembers are Democrats. Ban Democrats.
the LeBron James bit is certanly up. I am watching it again on the site right now. Nothing on the 90% lie.
Yet they don’t put out there the amount of stringent regulations placed on fully automatic weapons here in the U.S. Or the 17% only that are actually sent back and that the 90% is the 90% that have been able to be traced of the 17%.
End the failed drug war before they use it to take your guns.
Ultimately these m60s did come from the US. The US sold them or gave them to the Mexican Army.
Investigative journalism is not necessary when your objective is to propagate deceit. The first objective is to propagate the lie that your investigative journalists, of course.
If you tell a lie over and over again.....

But the video only has about 10 seconds of the story they actually broadcast. Then it morphs into Claudia Wallace's 35-year-old brother Hugo was kidnapped and killed. She talked with Anderson Cooper about the pervasive sense of fear that ordinary Mexicans live with.
The actual broadcasted video story is NOT there.
I get my M-60s at Costco.
Watched it again, they are talking "missiles and rocket launchers" and blame "the Second Amendment" for the cartels possession of the military weapons.
They DO NOT say they are coming from Mexican Army defectors and "missiles and rocket launchers" and hand grenades being smuggled in from China and other weapon supplier nations.
Once again they are living up to their name... See B*** S***.

Yea, they were for the drug "war."
I guess we should have specified which side.
Yea, by playing the U.S. based communists (that call themselves democrats) so they will push their "it's America's fault" excuse.
Apparently they do not understand what National Socialists, err, democrats, historically do to drug abusers and dope peddlers.
That is if the American based not-so-National Socialist's achieve victory. Likely the little commies will sink back into their morass of lies, perverts and back-stabbing so the dopers will only have to deal with the Republicans.

Factcheck.org conclusion
Given the lack of hard data from Mexico, we can’t calculate a precise figure for what portion of crime guns have been traced to the U.S. Based on the best evidence we can find so far, we conclude that the 90 percent claim made by the president and others in his administration lacks a basis in solid fact. But we also conclude that the number is at least double what Fox News has reported, based on its reporters’ mistaken interpretation of ATF testimony.
Whether the number is 90 percent, or 36 percent, or something else, there’s no dispute that thousands of guns are being illegalIy transported into Mexico by way of the United States each year.
