Instapundit clings somewhat precariously to the military weapons wielded by the Mexican drug cartels to try to show that not all their guns come from the U.S. Fox News, to which he links, has apparently taken his side of the argument.Their concern, of course, is new gun sale restrictions here at home.
The San Antonio Express-News, while conceding that the military stuff probably didn’t come from our side of the border, nevertheless makes a convincing case that most of the non-military stuff that has been traced did–much of it from Texas retailers. Michael Yon has uncharacteristly attracted more than a few irritated commenters for wading into the argument. I’m glad he did, though. I know more now about it now than I did before. On the other hand, as Instapundit notes, some of the guns probably have come from Mexican army deserters.
