Surprise! White House, Media Lie About Gun Trafficking To Mexico
It has been reported that the ATF (Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and
Firearms) has been caught red-handed actively aiding criminals in the
illegal export of firearms (including 50 caliber rifles) from the US to
Mexican drug gangs.
At least one of these ATF-facilitated weapons turns out to have been
used to murder a US border patrol agent.
Gun store owners warned the ATF about what was going on.
They were ignored.
ATF agents on the ground warned their superiors.
They were told to "shut up" and follow orders and that the orders came
from the top, straight from Bushbama's Department of Justice.
So what exactly did these government criminals have in mind when they
enabled the flow of US weapons to Mexico?
Well, if you've been listening to Osama Bushbama and his fellow anti-2nd
amendment nuts over the last few years, they've been singing the song
that: "90% of the guns that criminals in Mexico have come from the US."
There's just one problem with that story: It happens to be a straight up
lie.
But it looks like Bushbama & Company have been doing their best behind
the scenes to make it so by ordering ATF agents in the field (via the
Department of Justice) to stand down and let illegal weapons exports
flow unimpeded to Mexico.
Here's the all-important back story that no one is connecting to this
scandal. (From 2nd Amendment TV)

The Truth About Arms Trafficking in Mexico (8:38 video)
http://www.2ndamendmenttv.com/videos/attacks-on-our-rights/the-truth-about-arms-trafficking-in-mexico.html
The fact is that out of 29,000 firearms picked up in Mexico over the
last two-year period for which data is available, 5,114 of the 6,000
traced guns came from the United States. While that is 90% of traced
guns, it means that only 17% of recovered guns come from the United
States civilian market.
Where did the rest come from? A number of places. To begin with, over
150,000 Mexican soldiers have deserted in the last six years for the
better pay and benefits of cartel life, some taking their issued M-16
rifles with them.
Surprisingly, a significant number of the arms are coming to the cartels
via legitimate transactions. They are produced and exported legally
every year, regulated by the State Department as Direct Commercial
Sales. FY 2007 figures for the full exports are available here, and
State's report on end-use is available here, alleging widespread fraud
and use of front companies to funnel the weapons into the black market.
This doesn't even take into account the thousands of weapons floating
around Latin America from previous wars of liberation. This Los Angeles
Times article also shows how the cartels are getting hand grenades,
rocket launchers, and other devices you can't pick up at your local
sporting goods store.
