Mexico City Mayor Claims Undisputed

In a news story mostly about the new crime legislation in Chicago, CBS2Chicago.com included this passage:

“Mexico City Mayor Marcelo Ebrard Casauban said at the forum that 85 percent of the guns used by Mexican drug cartels come from the U.S., according to a published report.”

The problem is that this remains untrue. It was widely debunked a year ago, yet the mainstream media still reports this figure as if it is fact.
