The M91 is nearly twice as powerful as the AK47.

Don’t worry, as soon as a Conservative President is elected the Mexican government will discover that they are angry about Fast & Furious and demand that money be paid and some gun control passed into law, but with Obama President they’ll let it ride.

Jalisco is nowhere near the border. Sad.

High powered? Like .50 BMG?

The term "high-powered" means many things to many people, and therefore isn't of much value.

Even the humble .22 long rifle round can be lethal, and often is. Self-described "journalists" whose actual intent is to crank out propaganda for the far left tend to drag out the indefinite term "high-powered" for any firearm that looks at all military. Any rifle with a scope becomes a "sniper rifle." People who are too intellectually lazy to distinguish among "bullets," "cartridges," and "shells" frequently slather on additional adjectives in the hope of frightening people even less knowledgeable than they themselves.

What actually matters isn't the caliber, barrel length, feeding mechanism, sights, material the stock was made of, barrel crown or absence thereof, or weight, but the intent of the person with the firearm. That simple fact, of course, doesn't square with the Marxist scheme of demonizing all firearms and those who dare insist we commoners have a right to keep and bear them, so it's ignored and denied.

Those whom totalitarians can not persuade, they silence, ideally by murdering.

Fast and Furious. Let's call it what it is ... State-sponsored terrorism.

On this side of the border it's violations of the RICO Act. In Mexico and Honduras it's state-sponsored terrorism.

What else would you call heavily arming international criminal syndicates within a foreign country wherein that country is in a death struggle with those syndicates?

Especially when it goes beyond thousands of assault rifles to include grenades, RPGs, shoulder fired rockets, anti-aircraft guns, night vision equipment, body armor and special deals to bring their drugs onto our soil with legal impunity?

Not to mention that the rip crew that killed BP Agent Brian Terry was there with DEA and FBI assistance and approval to attack and kill a rival cartel's smuggling crew.

Let's not leave out the DEA laundering millions of dollars for the drug cartels by setting up bank accounts for them that they otherwise couldn't do.

It's organized, it is spread through every Federal LEA and it violates numerous domestic laws and numerous statutes and treaties that deal with foreign nations. Yet none of it has been officially sanctioned. It's the FedGov acting like mafiosa.

0bama, Holder and Hillary Clinton are all deeply involved in this and it is state-sponsored terrorism. These criminal thugs are dragging our country down to the level of Tehran and Pyongyang.
