This was debunked years ago.
Note the ever so careful wording.
It's not 70% of guns confiscated, no, it's 70% of the ones the Mexican authorities submit for ATF to trace.
In point of fact the vast majority of guns confiscated are never submitted for trace because they obviously came from a foreign source. Many have no serial numbers which guarantees they cannot be of US origin. Others are military grade weapons that have been illegal for civilian sale in the US since 1986. |

| This can't possibly be true. Mexico has a almost total ban on citizen's owning firearms. There is only one gun store in the whole nation. Its a gun free zone. |

Since the piece is based upon a false premise (America has a "gun problem"), it really doesn't merit any response.
But I will give one nonetheless. The vast majority of arms used by drug cartels in Mexico are military grade select-fire or full-auto weapons, supplied by corrupt government military personnel/officials, or by corrupt international arms dealers.
The article's premise is a lie, top-to-bottom. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "Secrecy is the keystone of all tyranny. Not force, but secrecy ... censorship. When any government, or any church, for that matter, undertakes to say to it's subjects, 'This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know,' the end result is tyranny and oppression, no matter how holy the motives. Mighty little force is needed to control a man whose mind has been hoodwinked; contrariwise, no amount of force can control a free man, a man whose mind is free. No, not the rack, not fission bombs, not anything. You cannot conquer a free man; the most you can do is kill him." --Robert A. Heinlein, "Revolt in 2100" (Pg. 68-69, Baen Books paperback edition, 1999 printing) |
