Hey, at least they were bound for Mexico.

So, is this due to private gun ownership and lax gun control in the US?

[RightOnTheBorder]

Who from our government was transporting these? Heavy gear like that can only be obtained by stealing it from the army or by our three letter agencies.

Sounds like Kati da Hogg, Gubner, is really on the ball in Arizona.

“The devices did not present a threat to the traveling public,” Humphries added.

Yeah. Sure. They're rocket launchers. But they're not dangerous.

With all the ManPads Gadaffi had, one wonders how many made it to terrorsts within our borders. With the “new and improved” approaches to airports supposedly for “climate change” purposes, they fly low and slow like ducks in a row.

Coming FROM the US, into Mexico? As in someone is running around with that crap in their car/truck in the U.S.? At least the public is not in any danger… I feel much better now.

I wonder if Bruce Cockburn got one?

[IllumiNaughtyByNature]

Should be easy to trace back to which depot them came from?

My money’s on stolen from the military. There’ve been stories these past few years about the presence of gangs in all branches of the military.

Who has RPGs in America?

[redcatcherb412]

The launcher is not a danger to anyone unless it falls on their foot. The business end rpg of course if active could ruin your picnic in the park. I would love to buy a disarmed inert rpg for sentimental value, wonder if they’re still selling?

One shot rocket launcher tubes are easy to find.
A friend of mine used to bring one to Halloween parties.
Just an empty tube that can’t be reloaded.

[desertsolitaire]

Assuming they are US Armed forces, obtained from corrupt quartermaster or armory break-in?

[ansel12]

They aren’t American weapons so who knows where they came from, if from a military base then there can’t be many armories that keep live enemy rocket launchers.

[GingisK]

My money’s on stolen from the military.

Our military doesn't use RPGs.

Coming FROM the US, into Mexico?

Everyone knows you can get RPGs and underbarrel grenades and launchers from unscrupulous FFLs at every gun show, childrens theme park, church, and Republican house in America! EVERYONE!
