A few months ago, when President Obama went to Mexico, he expressed his concerns to the Mexican government about how United States’ guns were responsible for the drug wars in Mexico. Beyond the absurdity of the idea, the fact that President Obama quoted that “More than 90 percent of the guns recovered in Mexico come from the United States, many from gun shops that lay in our shared border.” is not only funny math, but just plain lying.
Unfortunately, the liberal mainstream media hasn’t even tried to prove President Obama’s statistics wrong, but, instead, like the loyalists they are, continue to repeat his findings, just as disciples preaching a gospel. Only Fox news did investigative research to verify his findings. What they found was, when guns traced to the United States were sent to the United States, they were found to be from, guess what, the United States.

But all of the guns recovered from Mexico are not sent to the United States, since they aren’t traceable to the United States, yet are still part of the United States traced gun statistics. Funny math indeed. Fox News further reported that 17 per cent is a more accurate finding than the previously reported as gospel 90 per cent finding. Too bad the other news agencies didn’t bother checking. If you ask me, making 17 per cent equal 90 per cent is very deceptive, and proves an anti-gun agenda. I guess math skills and transparency is not part of the hope and change that we can believe in.
