(53,180 posts)as opposed to across the border. How does that make sense in any world other than some weird wishful thinking? Why have you gunners decided the legitimacy of your worldview rises and falls based on fixing the evidence from Mexico?
You know the existence of a certain types of weapons that may be manufactured overseas doesn't provide evidence that they constitute the majority, particularly when contradicted by a GAO/ATF report showing 87% of a large sample of seized weapons were manufactured in the US. I expect some Russian weapons filtered in through Central America, but the US supplied far more arms to that region during the 80s and early 90s than did Cuba. It wasn't even remotely close.
I don't quite understand this trip about Mexico. Just give it up. The argument is nonsensical and contradicted by all reliable sources. This is verging on pathological on ya'll's part. Your right to bear arms doesn't hinge on pretending that the weapons in Mexico aren't primarily from the US. The Mexican government knows that to be the case, which is why the drug war is a major issue in US-Mexican diplomatic relations.
