Obama says 90% of recovered crime guns in Mexico come from the States. We call bull$#!%.

[Note: Yes, this is an "American thing" but, just as the Yanks got all worried that the LGR would encourage gun grabbers south of the border to float similar ballons down there (it did), so should we Canadians keep an eye on underhanded tactics in the States that may one day work their way up here. It happens a lot more than you might think. -D]
There's no arguing that a buttload of handguns, rifles and other guns are purchased in the U.S. and end up in the hands of Mexican criminals each year. It's not all that hard to buy them legally in Texas or other border states and to smuggle them south — just like it's not all that hard to smuggle thousands of tons of dope north across the same border every year.
But is it true, as Obama keeps chirping, that "more than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States?" Not *** ****d likely; even his own government's statistics don’t actually support that line of bull.
