You heard them right. But there is a catch as usual
"In 2007-2008, according to ATF Special Agent William Newell, Mexico submitted 11,000 guns to the ATF for tracing. Close to 6,000 were successfully traced -- and of those, 90 percent -- 5,114 to be exact, according to testimony in Congress by William Hoover -- were found to have come from the U.S.
But in those same two years, according to the Mexican government, 29,000 guns were recovered at crime scenes.
In other words, 68 percent of the guns that were recovered were never submitted for tracing. And when you weed out the roughly 6,000 guns that could not be traced from the remaining 32 percent, it means 83 percent of the guns found at crime scenes in Mexico could not be traced to the U.S."

2A doesn't grant us the right to bear arms, it serves to keep government from infringing on our natural rights. There is a big difference. It has little to do with clay pigeon shooting or hunting.
It's sad to see another lunie gunned down dozens of people in NY. Is it too hard to imagine what if some of these victims had guns?
