In a meeting with editors and reporters of The Post, Mr. Calderon spelled out some of those failures. In four years, Mexico has confiscated 110,000 weapons, including more than 50,000 assault rifles, 11,000 grenades and more than 150 high-powered sniper rifles, as well as 10 million rounds of ammunition. Eighty-five percent of this vast arsenal has been smuggled in from the United States - thanks to Congress's refusal to reinstate a ban on assault weapons and the failure to adequately police the thousands of gun merchants in border states. One of those smuggled weapons, obtained at a gun show in Texas, was used in the killing of a U.S. special agent in Mexico last month.

No mention at all of the ATF, and another example of the corruption of the press in this country. No, WaPo, that gun wasn't "smuggled", it was transferred willingly by the ATF, as were thousands of others.
At least
Dallas News gets it.
