Since the U.S. really has no means of tracing guns not manufactured in the U.S., Mexican authorities don’t bother sending U.S. officials guns that were obviously manufactured elsewhere (generally guns that lack a U.S. serial number, or don’t show signs of once having had one). So the 90 percent figure isn’t surprising, and it isn’t really alarming. It means that 90 percent of the guns Mexican authorities thought were probably made and sold in the U.S. were indeed made and sold in the U.S. But that’s not what gun control proponents have been saying. They’ve been saying nine of 10 guns used in all Mexican drug crimes came from the U.S. That number, La Jeunesse and Lott report, is closer to 17 percent.]]> http://qbit.cc/do-90-percent-of-the-guns-used-in-mexican-drug-crimes-really-come-from-america/feed/ 0 http://qbit.cc/george-washington-firearms-stand-next-in-importance-to-the-constitution-itself/ http://qbit.cc/george-washington-firearms-stand-next-in-importance-to-the-constitution-itself/#comments Mon, 30 Mar 2009 16:54:12 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=234 "Firearms stand next in importance to the Constitution itself. They are the people's liberty teeth keystone... the rifle and the pistol are equally indispensable... more than 99% of them by their silence indicate that they are in safe and sane hands. The very atmosphere of firearms everywhere restrains evil interference. When firearms go, all goes, we need them every hour." ]]> http://qbit.cc/george-washington-firearms-stand-next-in-importance-to-the-constitution-itself/feed/ 4 http://qbit.cc/miac-report-retracted/ http://qbit.cc/miac-report-retracted/#comments Sat, 28 Mar 2009 17:37:14 +0000 qbit http://qbit.cc/?p=214 Although it sometimes seems that freedom is shrinking everywhere we turn, the fact is a powerful grassroots stand can still stop Big Government bureaucrats in their tracks.

I looked at him and said, "I thought guns were illegal in Mexico." He chuckled and said, "So you stayed in town last night?" As the conversation progressed, it became clear that guns are as common in Mexico as tamales at Christmas. Everyone he knows, including himself, own at least one gun. And, it matters not whether it's a semi-auto or fully automatic, they're all illegal, so why stop with semi-autos? Though clearly illegal in the states in most instances, a lot of Mexicans have more firepower in terms of military weapons than we can only dream of owning here.]]> http://qbit.cc/you-and-i-cant-buy-the-guns-mexican-cartels-own/feed/ 0
