only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S, sales or manufacture.”

Read previous post, the 90% is from the guns Mexico submitted to ATF for identification, NOT 90% of all guns found in Mexico.

The actual percentage is 17% of ALL guns found at Mex. crime scenes were “traceable” to USA.(total is 5,114 out of 29,000)

As the saying goes, “figures don't lie, but many liars figure”.

Sho nuff. 90% of those submitted were tracable back to the US. Well how about that. Here’s how that works. Illegals steal a handgun from somone who legally purchased it here in the US. It is carried back across the border and when they are done with it or need to get rid of it, it is pitched. Then it is found and shock! It is tracable to the US. How do they plan to address handgun killings happening on this side of the border by illegals who have stolen a handgun here? As for the automatic weapons, these have been under Federal control since 1935. So now we are to believe that a law on the books for over 70 years is innefective? Our dims and their media are just opportunists who are working toward people control, not gun control.

Please read that post again, There was no confirmation that 90% of guns came from US as you imply. it was a cryptic comment.
