Oops. (The link is to a Spanish-language paper. Chrome will translate it for you, or you can copy the link to a translation service.) Mexican Army "loses" 30% of imported weapons. Originally: Sedena “pierde” el 30% de las armas importadas
Mexico has been beating up on the US in recent months to get us to "do something" about gun running. I think the first thing we can do is embargo the Mexican military. 30% of the problem dispensed with one easy step.
According to official sources, 30% of the weapons purchased in the United States by the Secretary of National Defense "are lost."
The Mexican foreign service even had to cull certain weapons from the list provided in their complaint because, well, they would have implicated the army.

And the "scare quotes" in the title from the Mexican paper are because no one believes they were just misplaced. They were sold by some enterprising member of the military.
