Agents from the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco Firearms and Explosive arrested 31-year-old Oscar Fredy Garcia last week near Los Fresnos, Texas, during the failed purchase of an M-203 grenade launcher, court records revealed. Garcia is listed as an illegal immigrant from Mexico.
The case began on February 6 when Garcia met with an undercover ATF agent to purchase the grenade launcher and three AK-47 rifles at a price of $5,000. During the meeting, Garcia gave the undercover agent $300 as a down payment. Another ATF agent wrote in the criminal complaint that Garcia revealed he was purchasing the weapons for a man named Oscar Garcia Mendez. It remains unclear if Garcia Mendez has been arrested in connection with the case.
An M-203 is a grenade launcher that fires 40mm rounds. Versions of the weapon can be used as a stand alone or can be attached to rifles such as AR-15s.

M-203?
Fun little weapon. I remember shooting it off in Basic.
Thhhhwwwwoooonnnk!
Just wanting to keep the groundhogs out of his garden...
Will Georgie Ramos hold up a photo of this guy and cry about it too?
First sign it’s a sting? You’re being offered an honest to god 40mm grenade launcher. Those things don’t even show up on the real US black market.
It’s not the tube and trigger. It is the round. Did he even buy any of those?
Close can count in deer hunting if you use a grenade launcher.
A place like Breitbart should know better than to call illegal aliens immigrants.

Not something I see at Cabela’s or Bass Pro Shop.
Just buying the grenade launchers Americans won’t buy.
Awesome squirrel gun.
Wait, that’s not how it’s supposed to work. The illegal alien is supposed to buy the weapons, then take them back to the Cartels in Mexico where ... something ... then big arrests!
“Close can count in deer hunting if you use a grenade launcher.”
Those venison steaks might be a bit choppy. :)
... Awwwwe C’mon ..... This is actually a non-story because I’ve got it on pretty good authority that the M-203 is the preferred weapon used by Migrants when hunting for El Chupacabras. Of course Trump people would not know this ... You bunch of racists!
“Garcia gave the undercover agent $300 as a down payment.”
I’m glad these guys are such idiots.
“Here at Freddy’s illegal weapons bazaar we’ll reserve your weapons for under ten percent of the purchase amount! Visa and Mastercard accepted.”
Dear Mexicans,
We had a war with you and you LOST.
Get used to it.
America is not a Mexican country.
Your third world country has always been run by thugs just like Africa, South and Central America.
Straighten out your own countries and stay out of ours unless you are going to come in here LEGALLY.
Second sign: they’re willing to take a $300 dollar “down payment” and give you the hardware.
You can buy 37mm under-barrel flare launchers, I think. But they don’t sell grenades for it.
