    You can repeat that all you want, but it’s really 17%.

    Right, I’m sure all those weapons are being smuggled out of Belize.

    Churchill, I believe you’re referring to an April 2nd Fox News report that claimed that only 17% of the guns apprehended in Mexico were traced back to the US. That report was ridiculous, and has been exposed as such by the non-partisan (and Pulitzer-prize winning) Politifact.com. Check out the interview on NPR: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=103224899. It says that the actual percentage of guns recovered at Mexican crime scenes is much closer to Obama’s 90% than Fox’s 17%.

    The 17% number fantastically assumes that none of the guns not checked were from the US even though 90% of the ones checked (33% of the total) were.
