To be fair, a great many guns were submitted for tracing that weren't successfully traced, and many guns weren't submitted for tracing at all.
If the tracing failed, it could be for a number of reasons, including that the guns were not of US origin.
The number could be higher in practice, but it's rather difficult to survey these things.
Of course, that's 3,500 guns that aren't particularly helping Mexico.
I am curious, though; do you have similar data about the drug markets?
