ATF tries to be helpful. Hilarity ensues.

So, the drug lords of Mexico are talking it up with ISIS. Seems they have some unguarded border to sell. Well, according to one guy.

Inquiring minds want to know.

Chutzpah. Remember fast and furious?

Mexico wants a registry of US gun owners. Strange, so do the Democrats.

Hope and change: President Obama has granted an 11th-hour request by Attorney General Eric Holder to exert executive privilege over Fast and Furious documents, a last-minute maneuver that appears unlikely to head off a contempt vote against Holder by Republicans in the House. As to why? Well: Obama’s decision pertains to documents from February 2011 […]

But it looks like a Mexican attorney is suing ATF over fast and furious.

In Mexico where criminals are armed with all kinds of weaponry, some of it provided by the US government, the otherwise law-abiding citizens are taking up arms for self-defense. A good read. They advocate the Mexican government have another look at its archaic and restrictive gun laws. Maybe ATF could walk some guns to the […]

Pretty horrific.

From FoxNews: 1. U.S. Defense Department shipments to Latin America, known and tracked by the U.S. State Department as “foreign military sales.” 2. Weapons ordered by the Mexican government, tracked by the State Department as “direct commercial sales.” 3. Aging, but plentiful arsenals of military weapon stores in Honduras, Guatemala and Nicaragua. And they rightly […]

Once again, the myth that 90% of guns in Mexico come from American gun shows is busted.

There is only one gun store in all of Mexico. It’s on a military base and the rules are pretty strict. And they have some of the toughest gun laws in the world. Which is why it’s such a wonderful, non-violent utopia.

Really. First, why does Mexico have aerial drones? Next, why are they buzzing Texas?

Joe and Sebastian on why the Mexican gun canard. And: You’d think if this were such a huge problem, you’d be able to find at least one stash of firearms being smuggled, let alone being able to find a single gun. You would think that. Instead, we can find evidence of raids on police armories.

In Texas: An American tourist was shot in the back of the head in Mexican waters on Thursday after being ambushed by armed boaters, a Texas sheriff said. It happened on a lake where run-ins with pirates had already put fishermen and Texas officials on alert. Zapata County Sheriff Sigifredo Gonzalez said a 30-year-old man […]

In comments, Sebastian takes the press to task. It’s pretty funny how they don’t think of the obvious. And Rusty has more.

Jake: Notice the very important but understated qualifier in that second paragraph: “three out of four guns used in crimes in Mexico and submitted for tracing“ Meanwhile, it’s not just Texas: Florida among the biggest sources of guns used in crimes in Mexico

I thought those mortars and machine guns were coming from US gun shows?

Former Ambassadors to Mexico say we should pass an assault weapons ban.

Bob: an ATF official testified in Congress that only eight percent of weapons recovered in Mexico came through licensed U.S. gun dealers. I thought it was 90%? That’s what the press, the administration, and the anti-gunners (but I repeat myself) tell me?

I mentioned earlier that there was an FBI agent arrested for dealing firearms without a license and that those weapons turned up in Mexico. Some seem to think he’s being railroaded by the ATF.

Ted Novin: The report, which NSSF is still reviewing, appears to be rife with error. It looks like GAO may have hired a Violence Policy Center shill to write parts of it. Of course, it’s not like the VPC has anything else to do.

David Codrea: Mexican warehouse exposes gun grabber cartel lies

I’m guessing they got that airsoft gun at a gun show? And ATF probably can’t trace it.

We’ve been saying that for a while. But an ATF agent says the same thing to Greta Van Susteren: According to the ATF spokesperson interviewed, while the military-grade machine guns used by Mexican drug cartels are being imported from Central America, “the predominate amount of weapons we see are being purchased here [the U.S.] and […]

Investors Business Daily calls it bogus. Wayne LaPierre: They’re trying to piggyback this whole phony issue on the back of the tragedy in Mexico

AirSoft AK-47s, apparently. Oh, and they come from US gun shows, natch. Bonus for ravenwood’s law too. Update: Image changed. Heh. This was the first image she opted for.

FactCheck.org, which is ordinarily in the tank for Obama, comes out and says that the 90% of guns in Mexico come from the US that the administration parrots is false: But is it true as President Obama said, that “More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States?” No, […]

Once more, with feeling. Yon is still bitterly clinging to the Mexican Gun Canard. When he’s not calling us fanatics for pointing out facts and stuff, he’s happily parroting talking points that have been proven false. The latest is Yon’s re-publishing a rebuttal to a FoxNews piece by Todd Bensman. You see, you should take […]

Steve debunks the canard by actually looking at the confiscated arms. The LAW, M249 beltfed machinegun, and the fragmentation grenades are not coming from US gun shows. Meanwhile, this is brilliant. You see, the guns do come from here. Except we are smuggling them from US gun shows to Guatemala. Then Guatemalans smuggle them in […]
