Mexico: U.S. should do "much more" to stop flow of guns - Fox News Latino: "The U.S. government needs to do "much more" to prevent the smuggling of high-powered weapons into Mexico, a senior Mexican official said Thursday.
Authorities south of the border have confiscated roughly 100,000 illegal guns in the last four years, according to the secretary of Mexico's National Security Council, Alejandro Poire.
Yet Washington's efforts against gun-smuggling have netted fewer than 10,000 weapons seized, Poire told MVS radio, citing figures from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security."

And sometimes I simply muse.
