Mexican Ambassador Juan Sandoval opening the meeting by asserting that “96.8% of firearms seized in Mexico and sent for tracing come from the United States”, that these firearms enter his country through the porous boarder it shares with the United States,

 failed to recognize the irony that Ambassador Sandoval was laying out a strong Mexican argument for better boarder security. Unbeknownst to them, however, their safe space was about to be violated.

Taking the floor over the audible scoffs of the audience, the NRA’s International Affairs Manager questioned the Ambassador on his figures, specifically with how his 98.6% claim related to the total number of firearms recovered in his country as opposed to only those with easily identifiable U.S. markings sent to ATF for tracing, and on how many of the firearms composing his figure traced back to his own government’s stockpiles.  Not surprisingly, the scoffs stopped as the Ambassador struggled to find the right words for why that information was not available.

 

I guess Ambassador Sandoval forgot that he can't have his cake and eat it too.

It isn't surprising that " “96.8% of firearms seized in Mexico and sent for tracing come from the United States”, " since the Mexican government is huge purchaser of US made firearms. Also, as Dave pointed out, that is only the firearms seized and sent for tracing, not the percentage of total firearms seized.
