    U.S. gun shops and smugglers tied to 78,000 firearms recovered south of the border

    Oh shit! Wild reveal coming up!

    The top 6 (see chart in the article) account for 1,102 total guns, 1.4%. 942 from Academy and Cabela’s, 1.2%.

    So, uh, what’s the story here? That a tiny fraction of guns recovered were from 2 of America’s top gun retail outlets?

    This is a non-story, nothing to see here except a couple of small timers profiteering.

      Nevermind that a lot of the purchases required reporting anyway since buying lots of guns does actually get the attention of law enforcement. People are acting like the US government is keeping its eyes closed.
