Let's Misprepresent What's Going On In Mexico to Prop Up Our Anti-Gun Agenda at Home

IBDeditorials.com: Editorials, Political Cartoons, and Polls from Investor's Business Daily -- The Guns Of Calderon:

"Ed Head, a firearms instructor in Arizona who spent 24 years with the U.S. Border Patrol, recently displayed an array of 'assault rifles' that are similar to those recovered in Mexico, but are unavailable for sale in the U.S.

'These kinds of guns — the auto versions of these guns — they are not coming from El Paso,' Head told Fox News. 'They are coming from other sources. They are brought in from Guatemala. They are brought in from places like China. They are being diverted from the military. But you don't get these guns from the U.S.'"

This canard (repeated mantra-like by the administration) that 90% of the guns used by drug criminals in Mexico comes from the US really galls me. We can have a debate on assault rifles, but stop using the crisis in Mexico to drive your misinformation campaign.
