So next time I'm in San Jose, Costa Rica, I should walk into the gun store and buy an AK-47?

Finally these folks have contacted someone like Arrowhead for information -who seems to actually know the facts and understand the situation. Foxnews article "The Myth of 90 Percent: Only a Small Fraction of Guns in Mexico Come From U.S." http://www.foxnews.com/politics/elections/2009/04/02/myth-pe...

Yet, Plan Mexico is underway - 80 million worth of Black Hawk helicopters to be sent within a year or so - from this article: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/world/la-fg-mexico-c...

Here´s paragraph from article: "Washington hopes to provide $80 million worth of Black Hawk helicopters to Mexico. Some of the funds would come out of the $700 million already approved by Congress in security aid for Mexico under a three-year, $1.4-billion program called the Merida Initiative."

From same article - what Obama is focusing on... Go Obama...

"Obama administration announced that it would send hundreds of additional federal agents and intelligence analysts to the border to target drug cartels and keep the violence that has killed more than 7,000 people in Mexico in the last 15 months from spilling into the United States."
