"armor-piercing pistols"?
This nitwit doesn't even understand the difference between a firearm and a cartridge.
For those who don't know a great deal about firearms:
There is no such thing as an "armor piercing pistol". A pistol may fire ammunition which is armor piercing. Armor-piercing ammunition usually has a core of a hard metal, such as steel or tungsten carbide, rather than relatively soft lead.
"Armor piercing" ammunition is not defined by a cartridges' ability to penetrate any class of body-armor.
I was going to ask about the model number of one of those “cop-killer” pistols........
“U.S. laws allow citizens to have guns that are authentically warlike,” Attorney General Eduardo Medina Mora complained at a recent news conference. “We have to find a more effective way of stopping these arms from flowing into the country and giving these gangs such significant firepower.””
Shut your friggin border down you moronic idiot.
Win win, you get to keep our guns out and your deadbeat jerkoff criminals in.
armor-piercing pistols and fragmentation grenades from the United States
Armor-piercing pistols?
Yea, gotta go on down to BassPro and pick up another box of frags before the weekend ya know!
What a dumbazz!
Wow, that article had every anti civil rights buzzword in it, from “gun shows” to “assualt rifles”.
So Mexico is in a tizzy over US Civil rights?
I should care “why” exactly?
“We have to find a more effective way of stopping these arms from flowing into the country and giving these gangs such significant firepower.”
The U.S. carefully crafted refusal to enforce our border is the biggest asset of the traffickers. Until we take serious measures to enforce illegal traffic across the border we invite the intrusions. But the we wouldn’t want to interfere with the “workers” swarming across.
If mexico tolerates their own brand of narco trafficking, corruption and flesh peddling, they need to blame their fool selves and not our guns.
“Despite Mexico’s gun control laws, criminals have long smuggled guns in from the United States.”
Close down the border and you won’t have those guns sneaking into your country!
Sounds like a border problem. We need to contact the Mexican government and tell them we are having a border problem too. Maybe their related, who knows.
Yep, can't be selling guns to those folks that live in the wrong part of town!
Here ya go, this is getting to be sooooo typical..
I’m not even a gun owner yet, nor do I own every single fact about gun laws and gun control laws, but if I could give a speech to Congress, their jaws will be on the floor.
Oh, and also making sure Peloopsi gives me the specified time, not 30 seconds because she’s tired of hearing facts.
Once again it is the inanimate objects that are to blame for death and destruction, not the human vermin that wield them.
I gotta' have one of these! Can they be trained to pick out good deals, like some kind of 'bargain hound' ?
None of which are legal for civilians in the USA.
"Assault rifles"? Nothing made after '86 is legal. Pre-'86 ones are hideiously expensive; why buy a $16,000 M16 when the same bucks can buy 100 AK-47s?
"Armor-piercing pistols"? If they exist, we can't buy such food for them.
"Fragmentation grenades"? Only after paying a $200 transfer tax, which is pretty pointless to get just one 'bang'.
Hysterical fearmongering idiot.
“increasingly being used to kill police and soldiers fighting drug cartels.”
Drug traffickers aren’t stupid. They know its cheaper to buy these guys than it is to shoot them.
Sound familiar? To Mexico, We are now Iran or Syria.
Shane: A gun is a tool, Marian; no better or no worse than any other tool: an axe, a shovel or anything. A gun is as good or as bad as the man using it. Remember that.
PING! For your reading pleasure!
There are now 24,000,000 illegal Mexicans (and other Central Americans - 10% of the population of El Salvador now resides in California) in the US. How about we deport one back for each recovered gun they return to the USA? Fair trade?
The Mexicans have no one to blame but themselves. It is illegal aliens here in the US that do 99% of the illegal smuggling of weapons into Mexico.
Blowback is a bitch.
