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.

I can see handguns moving south, but that’s about it.
Secure the boarder!
The purpose for this flurry of “Gun running to Mexico” stories isn’t about disarming Mexican drug cartels. It is about disarming American citizens.
Doesn't matter. She/they will keep saying it until, in the unlikely event, someone like "Joe the Plumber" calls their hand on it. And, even then, they'll deny it and continue their lie.
What difference does it make anyway on how many guns come from where?
Should we go after the Chinese for providing guns that Americans own?
How about the Germans if a car they built is driven by someone who kills someone.
The argument is fallacious.
Right now, I hope fervently that the Chinese, Bulgarians or whoever will make more ammo and guns so the local sports stores will have a good supply that I can buy.
If so many are coming in from the US, where are the prosecutions of gundealers?
The US does not manufacture RPG’s! The AK47s would come form other countries because they are too expensive here in the USA!! Lots of arms are sold by Arabs to raise funds to fight the USA in the Middle East. Hillary of course supports everyone except the USA!
Bet that's where the gangs in the US are getting them.
And they know this how...serial numbers on the guns?
Coming soon, I'm certain. BATFE just assigned a bunch of additional agents to the border area; you can bet that some FFL holders will be scapegoated. Were I a Federal Firearms licensee in that part of the country, I'd have the best attorney I could find on speed-dial.
...that to them, is too big a problem...they have no problem spending billions of dollars we don't have, no problem having us kneel before jihads, no problem putting your health care in jeopardy, no problem having your kids grow up in a second rate nation, no problem going after businesses with poor performance, even though giving themselves pay raises while very poor numbers and ugly results while being corrupt...on and on and on
where are the prosecutions of gundealers
The other morning on FNC they were covering the “flood of guns fro US” and showed some of them caught by ATF..... it was 3 shotguns!!!
KarlInOhio is right, this is about OUR HAVING GUNS, no one with any honesty thinks someone from Mex can just go to a Gun Show and buy asault weapons and drive right back to Mex. Other previously made point is why would the drug cartels buy a SEMI auto assault rifle for $900 when they can get a boat load of FULL auto AKs from China or Veneusela for $50 each. But the sheeple only listen to MSM and hitlery.
My understanding is that Mexico refused or was unable to provide serial numbers to the US of weapons that it seized from cartel members. I seriously doubt that the types of weapons that they are seizing came from the US.
Show us the guns, the serial numbers, the stores where they were purchased, who purchased them, etc.
“The predominant source of guns in Mexico is Central and South America. You also have Russian, Chinese and Israeli guns. It’s estimated that over 100,000 soldiers deserted the army to work for the drug cartels, and that ignores all the police. How many of them took their weapons with them?”
..it was the provided talking point of the day coming from the White Hut, so all news, libtards, and other cretins could harp on and on
