(20,709 posts)Sorry, but your "sources" don't actually say what you claim they do. Wikileaks is one example. Back in post 10, you were all confident "Wikileaks says bullshit", but then when I checked up on your source, it turns out that Wikileaks said nothing of the sort. It actually agreed that most of the guns traced come from the US. Yes, the weapons of military origin don't come from the US civilian market, as everyone already knew, but the guns do, including ARs and AKs and 50-cals etc.
The fact of the matter is that every expert I've seen quoted on this topic, along with the trace data, all support the conclusion that the major source of guns for Mexican drug gangs is the US civilian market. For example, the Guardian article I cited quoted an ATF agent and a Zeta informant. But there are plenty more articles like that from legitimate sources.
You on the other hand, are struggling to find any legitimate news story to back your point of view. So instead, you start quoting things out of context and insisting that a bunch of sources support your point of view even though they actually don't. Like the wikileaks cable. Not a good practice. If you cry wikileaks too often, it's gonna hurt your credibility...
