I'm just trying to cast legitimate doubt on an oft-cited statistic (90% of guns used in Crimes in Mexico are traceable) in support of stricter US gun laws. With respect to what's my stake, you know I'm a gun nut, so I'm personally invested in dispelling stereotypical claims about guns and gun owners.
Tully, I don't know if I agree with the 'vast majority' claim, but I suppose we'll agree to disagree.
I'm going to bow out now, since I probably spent 2 hours today digging up sources and writing on this topic. Good discussion, though.

According to WAPO, 72 grenade attacks in 2009-2010, apparently from the Cold War Era.
