According to the Feds, the owner of this gun store should go to jail because some of the weapons he sold wound up in the hands of Mexican drug dealers -- even though the national data base approved the sale and he will be sued out of existence if he is deemed to be "profiling" -- refusing to sell guns to young Latinos, for instance.

"And their firepower comes from the U.S."

Maybe Mexico should close the border southbound?

If Mexico would stop helping them get here illegally they could not buy the guns!

How about all the beheadings? I suppose Mexicans get their machete’s from the USA too?

Build the Fence!!!! Arm it. Then give the Mexican people the 2nd amendment so they can protect themselves.

Typical lib approach to a "problem" -- don't punish the criminals; blame the tools.

Last Christmas Eve, salesmen at Cabela's Sporting Goods store in Phoenix were surprised when two Hispanic men bought 24,000 rounds of 5.7 caliber bullets -- the same caliber used in FN "cop killers."

Just to keep the record straight, the 5.7x28's that are listed as "cop killers" aren't available for sale to the general public. These 24,000 are not cop killer's.

WTF’s in the bucket the cop/soldier is carrying? Are they going to fight crime with drywall mud?

If this weren’t a “War on FFL Holders”, they’d be going after the guys who bought the guns that ended up in Mexico.

He’s probably even got some of those “Don’t Buy For The Other Guy” signs with pictures of jail-cell doors, to discourage “straw purchasers” around the store.

Since they don’t seem to be going after “those guys”, this reverts back to “War on FFL Holders”.

I read the “Story” and it is impossible to find what the man is actually accused of doing that was illegal.

There was a whole litany of shootouts in Mexico between narco trafficantes and Mexican LEO’s, but not a word about what the man did that was unsanctioned.

So basically the WSJ posted a anti Civil Rights propaganda piece and called it “news”.

Every gun that was picked in Mexico and that originated in the USA can be traced by serial number back to an American citizen’s driver’s license or SSN. THE BUYER WHO SOLD THE GUN TO THE NARCOTRAFFICANTES IS THE ONE WHO SHOULD BE INVESTIGATED IF ANYONE IS! If such a buyer is purchasing large numbers of arms for re-sale then he can be charged with firearms offenses.

Tyranny attacks us from all sides. Once the gun rights are gone, the other rights become “opinions” held by our leaders at their mercy.

Stupid government officials, they are the ones who give the authorization to the ffl dealers. Blame them! Our gun rights are going to be challenged by gun grabbers at all costs. What they fail to realize is there are likely more of us then them. If gun owners stand as one, they lose.

There was a gunshop in Westminister, California that was called Xcaliber guns. He closed up a few years back and I wonder if he moved to Arizona?

Contributing to the problem is the fact that Mexico's customs control is famously weak, and authorities rarely check inbound traffic from the U.S.

Well there you go. They won't protect their borders so Americans must sacrifice their rights.

So you can comply with EVERY SINGLE LAW and still be prosecuted?

“X-Caliber Guns LLC, is accused of knowingly selling hundreds of weapons, mostly AK-47’s”

Since when were “AK47’s” available en-masse to John Q. Public?

Don’t we just love this liberal propaganda from the supposed voice of the financial community.
