On Saturday morning's The Cross Connection, MSNBC again showed itself to be the place for fake news pushing liberal causes as host Tiffany Cross repeated a disputed statistic claiming that 70 to 90 percent of guns used in Mexico are from the United States, thus giving Mexico a rationale to sue gun manufacturers in the U.S.
Setting up a segment on the topic, Cross recalled:
An estimated 200,000 firearms are illegally trafficked from the U.S. to Mexico every year and between 70 percent and 90 percent of the firearms found at crime scenes in Mexico are traced right back here. So, in an unprecedented move, the Mexican government is suing American gun manufacturers to the tune of $10 billion for the damage caused by the flow of weapons trafficked across the border.
She then made a crack suggesting that a lack of border security hurts Mexico more than it does the U.S. as she added:

Were they really pissed about the Obama/Holder Fast and Furious charade?
well, when the guns left in Afghanistan start showing up, they might be right!
and when they start coming NORTH...
A great many do come from the US, then through the Mexican police and Army, to the cartels.
I wouldn’t put it past Zho Xiden to start Fast and Furious 2.
So, the Leftists want to build a Border Wall to stop it?
Does that 90% exclude guns coming from the Mexican military and police?
They should build a fence!!
There they go again, quoting fake statistics.
Fact is, the cartels (major purchasers of arms within Mexico) can get a much better deal by acquiring arms from the Chinese Communist regime, and also a reliable source of ammunition and and other trade goods (i.e., fentanyl and other illicit drugs), they don’t have to rely in gun runners from the US importing weaponry.
We just have to export our dollars to them. Win-win for both the CCP and the drug cartels.
Either with government sanction or with government neglect.
I watched this Cross woman a while back. She makes the other rasist POS, Reid have look like a novice
Yeah. The ones obama sent there.
They have been saying that for years. The truth is most of the Mexican guns come from South America.
Yes because the USA is the major world producer of AK variants. /s
Guns in MX come from China via S. America as well as MX police and military who are compromised or just stolen from.
But we can now say that 50% of Taliban guns came from the USA.
Just don’t sue the abortion clinics.
The standard media fear mongering. Blaming the guns and not those carrying. How do they get away with such garbage?
Does that mean Mexico can sue car manufacturers, as Mexico is the recipient of almost all stolen trucks in the US?
Right. In which case, liberal gun snatchers should celebrate such a low number of guns in American hands. But, reason and logic not being in the lib DNA...
