re: #76 Obdicut
I do not think for a second these guns were a big %. Nor does that matter, especially as it was apparently without the consent of law enforcement in Mexico.

Getting guns off the streets is a well worthwhile effort to reduce them, with the knowledge it can not be 100% successful. I’d rather not make the perfect the enemy of the good in this instance.

We also know many of the weapons come from the global arms market. Weapons from the US and of course the AK’s made in any number of places. Heavier weapons re also a huge problem, and those are coming into Mexico like the grenades, from the south. There is no RPG/Grenade store in Texas or anywhere else in the US.

I do not see the fact the GOP is running away with this to be great reason to make the opposite error-Minimize this to take heat off the administration. Ignore the GOP crap and take a hard look at what went wrong. Then let’s see if the acting ATF director should keep that job, see if he or his successor would be the best available person to move forward.
