The truth slowly comes out

Remember last week when Eric "Neutral, leaning towards favorable" Holder and Hillary Clinton were lecturing us that illegally sourced U.S. guns were one of the main causes of all of the drug violence in Mexico?

Well, the only way to truly confirm that claim would be to compare the serial numbers of the seized firearms with BATFE records, and guess what?

According to an IRN USA Radio News report on XM radio this evening (and confirming what Lou Dobbs of CNN noted in a recent broadcast), the Mexican government is refusing to provide any of those numbers for inspection and comparison, fueling further suspicion that most of the weapons are in fact coming from elsewhere in Latin America, most likely via Mexico's southern border.

As the radio commentator said just now (paraphrased as I was driving at the time),

"The U.S. government has to come up with a lot more concrete evidence than what they've presented so far before having the nerve to ask a free society to give up their rights in order to solve a problem in another, far more repressive country".

Amen.
