This was debunked years ago.
Note the ever so careful wording.
It's not 70% of guns confiscated, no, it's 70% of the ones the Mexican authorities submit for ATF to trace.
In point of fact the vast majority of guns confiscated are never submitted for trace because they obviously came from a foreign source. Many have no serial numbers which guarantees they cannot be of US origin. Others are military grade weapons that have been illegal for civilian sale in the US since 1986. |

| This can't possibly be true. Mexico has a almost total ban on citizen's owning firearms. There is only one gun store in the whole nation. Its a gun free zone. |

Since the piece is based upon a false premise (America has a "gun problem"), it really doesn't merit any response.
But I will give one nonetheless. The vast majority of arms used by drug cartels in Mexico are military grade select-fire or full-auto weapons, supplied by corrupt government military personnel/officials, or by corrupt international arms dealers.
The article's premise is a lie, top-to-bottom. |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
