The US does not supply the majority of guns to Mexico. We supply 17-38% depending on your source.

If you really wanted to end the crime in Mexico reevaluating prohibition would be a good start.

To be fair, he never said the US supplied a majority of weapons in Mexico. Only that we were a 'prime source' of weapons, which if the range is 20 - 40%, would be completely accurate.
