To nobody's surprise, Time Magazine gets the number wrong on guns crossing the border, "The U.S. is also a primary source of the weapons the cartels use to unleash their mayhem: the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives estimates that 70% of the guns seized in Mexico in the past two years were smuggled from north of the border." page two at http://www.time.com/time/world/artic...#ixzz1RIUNIEZC

The article, though, is worth the read because it helps quantify the extraordinary level of violence occurring south of the border and the effect it is having.
