Mexican Gun seizure stats

An interesting article on gun seizures in Mexico.....

number is more political rhetoric than empirical fact.

almost 90 percent of the guns seized in Mexico in 2008 were not traced back to the United States.

Any news that puts stats, I discount, and I am usually proven right. Not surprised at all.

I read that the Mexican government wants to sue gun manufacturers in the US. Could this be a way to disarm Americans? Just bankrupt manufacturers and suppliers? No need for legislation then.

A noted German firearms manufacturer Heckler & Koch has stopped supplying military and police contracts to Mexico because so many of those weapons wind up being used in the drug trade. When it is very easy to bribe police and military supply departments for fully automatic weapons, using US gunshops in your supply chain doesn't make much sense. I am betting most of the weapons that sneak across the border are coming back with immigrants who want to be able to defend themselves from the drug cartels.

Further bad news this weekend, the cartels have expanded their rackets and are now starting to hijack buses and rob/kill the passengers. Further bad news, 20% of the arrests in the latest crimminal roundup were corrupt law enforcement officers.

...and our good 'ole BATFE is helping the supply chain too...
