    Well... I hate to say it but it seems the Obama administration was right on this one. That being said, it should not have any effect on our right to bear arms. This is definitely a tool for anti-gun lobbyists to try and use.

    First, stop watching CNN. :D

    Next check some more credible sources like this one.
    Counting Mexico’s Guns | FactCheck.org

    Or see what Fox news has to say about it.
    FOXNews.com - Mexico's President Cites Debunked Claim That Most Guns in Mexico Come From U.S.
    FOX News debunked that claim in a report earlier this month that found only 17 percent of guns found at Mexican crime scenes have been traced to the U.S., though even that figure is an imprecise estimate.
    or
    FOXNews.com - The Myth of 90 Percent: Only a Small Fraction of Guns in Mexico Come From U.S.
    What's true, an ATF spokeswoman told FOXNews.com, in a clarification of the statistic used by her own agency's assistant director, "is that over 90 percent of the traced firearms originate from the U.S."
    But a large percentage of the guns recovered in Mexico do not get sent back to the U.S. for tracing, because it is obvious from their markings that they do not come from the U.S.
    I really do believe that there are straw buyers. That's illegal. Prosecute them to the full extent of the law. Hang them from the highest yardarms.
    But, by no means does that mean that "the Obama administration was right on this one".
    Not even close.

    Your right this just another tool for our goverment to use agianist law abiding citizians to take our rights away from us. My thougts the goverment needs to shut down the border till they can figure out a solution to this problem. The right to bar arms is ours but we can't stop whats going on at the border.
