Left overstates U.S. gun impact on Mexican violence

April 7, 2009 |  Tagged , , | Leave a Comment

The truth is out!  The Left-wing mantra that U.S. guns are the primary cause of Mexican violence has been debunked by a Fox News Report.  It seems that 17% of the guns found at Mexican crime scenes can be traced to the United States, not the 90% claimed by Left-wing politicians and media outlets. 

The report goes on to describe smuggling from other countries and desertions from the Mexican Army as other sources of firearms used in the epidemic bloodbath south of the border.  In spite of their draconian anti-gun laws, gang violence continues to tear the country apart.  (See my posts on Mexico under the Category, “Foreign Gun Laws.”)

Don’t look for the well-funded and ideologically-driven Left to abandon the Mexican situation as a springboard for more U.S. gun control.  In spite of the fact that we have about 22,000 gun laws in this country, Tom Diaz, of the Violence Policy Center, describes the U.S. “gun market” as “wide open.”
