I listened to her, she's a hater thru and thru
That number was put out by both the Mexican government AND the US ATF. Although it's since been backtracked and debated as to tracable guns the Mexican government actually turned over the best estimates according to unbiased fact check sources put it at least twice the numbers Fox claimed. The smaller numbers are arrived at by not considering any of the non-tracable guns as originating in the US.

1. Removing serial numbers is simple.

2. Look up where most guns are manufactured and compare their proximity to Mexico AND the ease of purchase/transport.

I've listened to Rachel Maddow long before she transisitioned from radio to MSNBC. If she HATES anything it is misinformation. I fact check all of the shows I listen to and would put the average knowledge from just one of her shows against an average month of Fox.
