If pinhole cameras were outlawed, only outlaws would have pinhole cameras.

Where were these seized? Do they belong to (paranoid) law-abiding U.S. citizens trying to protect themselves, or to law-breaking illegals?

Um, let me add to my previous question. Are any of these weapons illegal in Texas? I suppose the fully automatic weapons would be, but I'm not sure about the others....

Nuevo Laredo isn't exactly peaceful.

Texas permits FA with the right permits, but the other material doesn't have much excuse:

Seized were two completed bombs, material for 33 more, 300 primers, 3,880 rounds of ammunition, 5 grenade shells, 9 pipes with end caps, 26 grenade triggers, 31 grenade spoons, 40 grenade pins, 19 black powder casings,... Also found was cocaine, methamphetamine, 400 pounds of marijuana...
Weird. They have five grenade shells, 26 triggers, 31 spoons, and 40 pins? Safety first... they'll never have to worry about having a spare pin to safe a grenade, just in case.

"More than 150 people -- including the police chief, a city councilman and 13 police officers -- have been killed in the Mexican border town over the last year. "


That has to give this presumably small population one of the highest murder rates in the country. Anyone hear of it before?

If a Police Chief, a Councilperson, and 13 cops had been killed over a year's time here in Detroit, there would be Marches with Jesse Jackson.
