A US Senate report says that almost 70% of the guns seized in Mexico... and submitted to an ATF gun-tracing program...came from the USA.
Of the 29,284 firearms recovered by authorities in Mexico in 2009-10, 20,504 came from the USA.
With more than 38,000 dead since he took office in 2006, President Felipe Calderon is attacking the U.S. weapons industry.
