3/4 of the guns from the Mexican military?

As mad as I get at the NRA, this is worth watching.
"We get guns from Honduras and El Salvador"
"3/4 of the guns from the military"
Have you heard the truth? The Mexican president points to guns that came from America, has he ever admitted the ones that come from his own miliraty? Enforce and change our laws, but when does he enforce his own?

We need to see the list of serial numbers.

A couple of years ago this grenade was thrown into a crowded bar in Texas. It failed to detonate due to whoever threw it failing to remove the the safety clip.
The markings reveal it was part of a shipment to Mexico's military.
Grenades with these exact same markings were also recovered following attacks on both the US Consulate and a television station in Monterrey, Mexico.
BATFE has publicly acknowledged that the US and S. Korea (who also suppplies military hardware to Mexico) are the top producers of grenades recovered in Mexico. According to them the going rate down there is $100 each, $50 if bought in bulk.
Just a little FYI while I was in Afghanistan we were arming the afghan army with surplus M16s. Thats right. Beyond arming a potential enemy the way those guys took care of things and the ruggedness of the country I thought the choice of weapon was very poor.

That caliber has been coming in by the ton for several decades.
Same idea the Brits had back in their colonial days, only they took it a step further. They issued the locals SMLE's chambered for a completely unique, proprietary cartridge that was only available through their own military channels. It worked, too.
What no one seems to either think about or mention is that with the kind of money the Mexican drug lords have, they do not have to mess with individual soldiers, or US firearms stores to get their weapons. They deal with international firearms merchants, much as do 3rd world governments and well funded insurgents! Anyone who thinks differently is either incredibly naive or an Obamaramadama propagandist!
Did you notice my post about the BATFE acknowledging most cartel grenades can be traced directly to the US military assistance program?
