A US Congressional report suggests some 70% of firearms recovered from Mexican crime scenes in 2009 and 2010 and submitted for tracing came from the US.
>Oh, really?
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has repeatedly called for the US to implement stricter firearms laws.
The report, Halting US Firearms Trafficking to Mexico, by Democratic Senators Dianne Feinstein, Charles Schumer and Sheldon Whitehouse says US guns have contributed to "Mexico's dangerous levels of violence".
The senators accuse the US Congress of having been "virtually moribund" while Mexican drug gangs snap up US military-style guns.
Their report comes a day after President Calderon accused the US arms industry of causing thousands of deaths in Mexico.

Congressional report: US guns fuel Mexico violence
A US Congressional report suggests some 70% of firearms recovered from Mexican crime scenes in 2009 and 2010 and submitted for tracing came from the US.
>Oh, really?
Mexican President Felipe Calderon has repeatedly called for the US to implement stricter firearms laws.
