[QUOTE="poopgiggle, post: 1396922, member: 6406"] Has anyone actually done a definitive study of the origins of the arms in Mexico? Reports like this always rely on weasel words, like "of all the guns [i]submitted to the ATF for tracing[/i] 90% of guns [i]that could be traced[/i] were traced to US gun shops." (How many total seized cartel guns were submitted to ATF? How many of those could be traced?) Meanwhile, stuff from pro-gun organizations and conservatives just points out the weasel words in the official reports without offering competing data, although now that we have a Republican majority in the House there may be more of a push at the government level to get official figures. I'm not saying good numbers aren't out there, just that I haven't seen them. [/QUOTE]
