If only there were some sort of wall that would prevent this deadly, deadly traffic.

Oh well.

We’ll stop our guns from going south when we stop illegals from coming north.

It isn’t the gun laws that allow people to buy for Mexican crimes. It is the fact we don’t control our borders such that these illegals can cross, buy, and return.

I haven’t been across the border in years but doesn’t Mexico not check vehicles crossing into Mexico? Maybe the gun problems they have are theirs, not ours to solve.

Recently, Mexico has said they will check cars like the US does. We crossed a month ago at San Ysidro, they just waved us through.

Maybe if there was a fence along the border these terrible weapons wouldn’t be getting into Mexico.

Heckler & Koch MP5s and M16s are FULL AUTO machine guns! I am throwing the BS flag on this author. There may be straw purches of semi pistols and rifles, and that is Mexican border problem if they are entering there country. But, full auto firearms are so tightly regulated there is no way that Texas gun shows are the source!

Heckler & Koch MP5s.

Dear Mexican Drug Trafficers,

Can you please supply me with the name of someone I could buy a new H&K MP5 or M16 from? You see, as a law abiding American citizen, it's been illegal for me to buy these guns new since 1986. So if you'd just let me know how you're doing this, I'd really appreciate it, since I'd really love to have a new MP5. In fact, it would fit quite nicely under my Christmas tree.

Sincerely,

MarkL

It sounds like the guns need to be more evenly distributed. Give all the Mexicans an opportunity to defend themselves.

M-16? MP-5? That is some “toy catalog.”

If they are getting full auto weapons, they are not getting them from texas. I’d more likely bet they are coming from much further south. Just more proof that gun control doesn’t work. When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have full auto.

This drumbeat is becoming tiresome. I will not lose my 2nd amendment rights because a corrupt, failed state next door will benefit. My 2nd amendment rights are sacrosanct, not conditional upon how they affect Mexico.

The liberty tree is looking more parched by the day.

Also, if Mexico, Canada, and the USA are to be merged, as per Bush’s globalist plan, then firearms laws will have to be normed. Guess what the plan is? It AIN’T that Canucks and Mexicans will suddenly be free to own what they want. The Globalists want you to give up yours. When the border is officially removed, as within the EU, Mexican gun laws will be instantly meaningless if the USA retains our gun ownership rights. These stories are appearing on purpose.

BS flag is right. These aren't weapons you find at gun show bargin bins. Most likely they're diverted from Mexican military and law enforcement armories. That way, most come equipped with an operator trained by the Mexican govt. like our little friend in this article.

Gun shows? We don' need no steekeen gun shows!

Since the full auto weapons that they reference cannot be bought and sold by 99.99% of the gun dealers in this country... the rest of this article is suspect.
