Obama’s misinformation campaign continues

The Lie:Obama Repeats ’90 Percent’ Stat for U.S. Guns Recovered in Mexico

The Truth: Recovered doesn’t mean the percentage of all firearms confiscated at Mexican crime scenes. It doesn’t mean the subset of these firearms traceable to any source. It does mean the percentage of traceable weapons linked to a U.S. source. And, again, that total is 5,114 out of 29,000 — or 17.6 percent — in the years 2007 and 2008.
