Opposing Views Doesn’t Oppose Lying About Numbers

Earlier this month the Brady Bunch issued a news statement that was picked up by Opposing Views, and it contains the typical type of scare tactic information that we’ve come to expect and loathe. When discussing gun violence in Mexico, the article offers this tidbit of information:

“American gun sellers supply the cartels with virtually all of their guns — between 95 and 100 percent.”

Can we get a fact check on that number? Not only is that not accurate, but it seems the American mainstream media just accepts this as fact.

Worse, the Brady Center, along with Opposing Views, sees the solution for solving another country’s problem is to deny American citizens their Second Amendment rights. In other words guns should be banned in the United States because Mexican criminals might use them.
