The vast majority of firearms recovered in Mexico from drug cartels did come from the US - but NOT from private US gun dealers. They came from US government approved "direct sales" from manufacturers to the corrupt military of Mexico and Central American countries. As could reliably been predicted those corrupt militaries supplied the criminals with most of their weapons.

The US government did NOT need to setup private US gun dealers in Fast and Furious, to arm criminals south or north of the border. They DID need Fast and Furious to disarm law abiding Americans.

So where is this big outpouring of demand from the American people for more gun control because of the violence in Mexico?

OOPS! Not there is it? In fact there is a record number of Americans buying guns for the first time.

Once someone is convinced they need a gun for their personal protection, you’re not going to take it away from them by legislation. They would simply vote the SOB that took their gun away out of office and vote someone in that supports their right to protect themselves.

Once someone is convinced they need a gun for their personal protection, you’re only going to take away their right of self protection by force, which is what they are doing.

They need the violence to increase so they can do it.
