Got an e-mail with the same images (and more) about 2 weeks ago.....gives the lie to the "the guns in Mexico are coming from the USA", I believe that the stat is around 17% of the guns come from the US and they are not these types.

from a post of mine on another forum

I'd like to clarify an misconception about the arms in Mexico...it is 90% of traced arms that originate from the USA, the aprox percentage of ALL arms in the cartels hands from the USA is more like 17%

We could turn that deceptive BS 90% stat on its head by saying the percentage of banned/NFA weapons seized in the border states that came from Mexico, which would be a great argument for a sealed border.  Of course ATFE and DOJ have control of the data for those stats, and Holder would rather die than see them generated.
