NEWSFLASH! 90% of All The False Information About Guns Being Smuggled Into Mexico Originates From Gun Grabbers

Increased Border Patrol checks fail to provide evidence of gun smuggling

Evidence resulting from the recent surge in U.S. border patrol inspections contradicts government allegations that Mexican drug cartels are arming themselves with American firearms.

Fellow Examiner Dave Workman examined how U.S. government representatives have been spreading the myth that 90% of all the guns obtained by Mexico’s drug lords come from the United States. Another article examined the disconnect between these claims and a Los Angeles Times report that drug cartels are buying military weaponry on the international arms market and smuggling them in from Central American countries or by sea.

Now, the Associated Press reports that in the first seven weeks of increased Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) activity at U.S./Mexico border, inspectors found few guns:

According to CBP, between March 12 and April 30 officers seized:

—Fifty-one pieces of ammunition, weapons parts and guns, a minuscule fraction of the 2,000 weapons the Mexican government estimates are smuggled south every day.

That’s not even 51 guns: They could count one round of ammunition as one of their “51 pieces.”


When will they stop parroting their errant 90% myth?
