200,000 Guns Cross from U.S. to Mexico Each Year

"A lot of the violence in the U.S. is because of the drugs going in from Mexico, and a lot of the violence in Mexico is because of the guns coming from the U.S.," one high-ranking former Mexican intelligence official told Fox News, speaking on the condition of anonymity. "Many of the cartels in Mexico are being paid by counterparts in the U.S. not only with money but with guns." Some estimates - including a recent study published in Oxford's Journal of Economic Geography - have pegged the number of guns crossing the U.S-Mexico border at over 200,000 annually.
