That old 90% of Mexican Cartel Guns Statistic Again...

[cbrgator]

So I was watching Border Wars tonight on National Geographic and during the episode they showed a seizure of 5 AK's from an SUV attempting to enter Mexico from the US. During the footage, the narrator voiced that same old bullcrap statistic that "90% of guns seized from Mexican drug cartels come from the US."

Then, during another episode which aired right before the one I just mentioned (I DVRed them and watched out of order) they showed this little advertisement to intrigue those to watch the aforementioned episode.

Not to mention they even specifically cited the BATFE as the source.

The thing that wouldn't leave. It's amazing how easy it is to just make up "facts" in today's world.
