April 18 (Reuters) - U.S. guns, many of them exported legally, are
flowing into Latin America in an "iron river" ending in the hands of drug
cartels and abusive security forces, activists said Monday, calling for
greater oversight from U.S. law and federal agencies.
More than half of "crime guns" recovered and traced in Central America
are sourced from the United States, according to U.S. gun control agency
ATF. This level nears 70% for Mexico and is around 80% across the
Caribbean.
