I think you'...Sheila, that's just not true. I think you're referring to the Obamaa Administration's statement of some months ago that 90% of the serial numbers submitted to the U.S. were U.S. sold guns. What's transparent in that statement is that very few tracking requests have been received from Mexico. Plus, not many fully automatic weapons are sold in the U.S. The Mexican gangs prefer automatic weapons and grenades. Those don't come from the U.S. It is very rare that the Border Patrol catches someone smuggling guns across the border. What is smuggled most is drugs and money, from Mexican gangs operating in the U.S. Just two days ago, a ton of marijuana was found in an eighteen wheeler. This is a common occurrence in Phoenix and areas south.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01368973223808495975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6404036170106001374.post-53065015032934946002010-08-02T17:18:24.121-05:002010-08-02T17:18:24.121-05:00I heard Sheriff Joe on the radio this morning.

Who could write it. I'd heard the border was way less porous these days though, though the gun-running from US to Mexico's supposedly going well.Sheila Deethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13465615546936319164noreply@blogger.com
