Big Gun Lies by Obama, Holder, BATF etc.
You have probably heard that 90% of guns used by Mexican drug cartels come from US gun dealers. New data reported by the Houston Chronicle (July 16) show that of about 100,000 guns seized by Mexico less than 8% were traced back to US gun dealers.
Here is how Obama and his cronies lie with statistics, the US gives Mexican military, and police aid including guns. Those guns that Mexico knows came from crooked military and police are not counted. Neither are the automatic rifles, hand grenades, rocket launchers and other arms imports from China and elsewhere. You see, these automatic rifles, grenades, rockets, and rocket launchers are not available for sale anywhere in the US. The Mexicans sort through and separate sporting weapons and small arms that have US brand names and then send about 20% of the guns (not grenades, rockets, automatic rifles, etc.) to the US for identification. Then they find that only about 8000 guns, 8% of the 100,000 before separation and sorting, come from US gun dealers.
Here is the second big lie, Obama and his officials inflate this 8% to 90% (not true) and then imply that the gun dealers are deliberately selling to the drug cartels. Any gun purchaser in the US has to have ID and a clean record from name, SS#, place of birth, place of residence, etc. checked by the US BATF. The guns can only be sold with BATF approval. This is the same for licensed dealers at gun shows and gun shops.
Because neither the Bush nor Obama Administration has done anything significant to stop identity theft and identity fraud, it is easy for illegal aliens to get stolen or fake ID that pass US government inspection allowing the illegal aliens to buy guns. These are the facts about US gun dealers selling guns to the Mexican cartels. All gun dealer sales have to be approved by the US government.
If the US government wants to crack down on US guns in Mexico they should stop supplying corrupt Mexican military and police with US weapons as part of our foreign assistance. Next they should fight identity theft and forgery by illegal aliens. Then, Mexico would have to get all of its guns from international arms exporters.
In summary, the “US guns to Mexican drug cartels story” is a series of big lies designed to further gun control in the US.
