from the US.. That is guns that are suspected to be from the US are
being sent back and in fact most are.. In reality though only 20% of
the guns being used down there are from the US. Obama and MSNBC,
NYLies etc know this, but they keep intentionally leaving out the
qualifier. Obama is no leader, he is dirty and we are screwed...

However since these obamadites believe everything they are told by their
savior it will not make any difference.

I had heard that 90% figure, and believed it, figuring the border was
so porous that it was probably true. I should have known it was a
lie, considereing the sources that we hawking it.

"As it turns out, the 90 percent statistic actually concerns only
those guns Mexican authorities sent to the U.S. for tracing. Since the
U.S. really has no means of tracing guns not manufactured in the U.S.,
Mexican authorities don't bother sending U.S. officials guns that were
obviously manufactured elsewhere (generally guns that lack a U.S.
serial number, or don't show signs of once having had one). So the 90
percent figure isn't surprising, and it isn't really alarming. It
means that 90 percent of the guns Mexican authorities thought were
probably made and sold in the U.S. were indeed made and sold in the
U.S.

But that's not what gun control proponents have been saying. They've
been saying nine of 10 guns used in all Mexican drug crimes came from
the U.S. That number, La Jeunesse and Lott report, is closer to 17
percent."

Obama and his administration: just another bunch of liars.
