You and I Can't Buy the Guns Mexican Cartels Own

I have long advocated that the left orchestrates gun incidents in order to pass their anti-gun agendas. Witness: Mail order guns were a big deal in 1950s and early 1960s left wing agenda. Pres Kennedy is shot with a mail order gun(at least we think he was) and the bill passes. They need more gun control so Robert Kennedy is shot by an arab and gun control 1968 is passed. I will not go on but believe I am speaking the truth when I say the left manufactures the events that allow them to pass draconian laws against firearm ownership.

I saw rifles that looked familiar with no place of manufacture, no serial number or manufacturer's logo. The information was not removed, it was never there to begin with. I can only assume they came from illegal arms manufacturers in India or Pakistan that produce copies of weapons.

Or China. China makes an M-16 Clone, for export only. They don't use it. At first they were only "near clones", with different grip, buttstock, and front sight.

Now they are much closer, at least in appearance.

Iran also produced a direct copy of the earlier Chinese near clone above. -

I’m not sure you want an M-1A. Compare the handling characteristics of an AR-10 to the M-1A and I believe you will want the AR-10.

Iran still produces the Chinese M-4 lookalike. If I remember correctly, a Iranian commando team was found with these in Iraq.

I've looked at an AR-10, but I've never fired one at the range. How does the bolt stand up to long term use? Apparently the AR-15 with the 7.62x39 upper gives the bolt assembly quite a beating. What are the relative pros/cons of the AR10 vs M1A?

Heard a news item today....the Cartels' strength is estimated at 100,000 armed members; this number rivals the Federales 130,000 army strength, Jinxy. Trouble with any Federales' effectiveness is limited since they're mostly centered around Mexico City and the government and the Cartels are taking over the northern provinces and cities. Looks like the days of Pancho Villa are being revisited.

From a business point of view, who's monitoring the logistics and delivery?

Not a problem. The M-1A doesn’t have any of the good handling ability of the AR-10. Even the Garand has a better balance than the M-1A.

The M-1A also has the problem of needing an armorer to continue it’s accuracy. Look at the repair books for the Garand and the M1A. They have about four hundred pages. The books on the AR series mostly cover reloading.

Just make sure you buy a later version. The earlier versions had a problem with the ramp feed. If you get one that has problems, the guys at Armalite are more than happy to honor the warrantee.

My son owns the AR-10. I’m stuck with the M-1A.

An interesting report that badly needs editing.

Ayers is a blathering loon with a very powerful patron sitting in the White House.

Ayers isn't a loon, unfortunately. He's a highly intelligent, utterly committed revolutionary communist. And he is now seeing his life's work beginning to pay off.

From the Congressional House record: 'But Mr. Speaker, that is not all. Last year, it was Cosco that delivered to the State of California 2,000 AK–47’s. The company that builds the AK–47’s, the company that negotiates the trade of AK–47’s around the world, the company Cosco, all set up by the PRC, the People’s
Republic of China, their CEO is Communist China, all owned and coordinated and controlled by Communist China. Yet, they delivered over 2,000 AK–47’s into our country, with the intent of selling these arms to
our inner cities to disrupt, to disrupt our inner cities, and disrupt our political environment within the United States of America. At the same time, the Clinton White House accepted both Cosco and the gunrunners themselves in a White House coffee. I will later show the direct tie between the $366,000 that was conducted to the DNC by the White House recipients and Chinese investors
to allow Cosco to gain this favored status'...http://bulk.resource.org/gpo.gov/record/1997/1997_H01534.pdf

How can you do this without registering your lower?

It is registered. Reread my post, then my signature line.

Thank you for that link. It's pretty much the way I understood it when it occurred. As unfathomable as it seems that our government would allow a hostile nation try to start an armed insurgency in this country, it's even more unfathomable that many in our government actually profited from it.

With regard to the phony issue our government is contriving to further their objective to end private ownership of firearms (for the most humanitarian, altruistic reasons of course), this serves as good evidence that the armaments used by these huge criminal organizations are much more likely to be obtained from the international arms market, and by meddling foriegn governments. I'm sure that it didn't escape your notice that Russia has shipped a huge number of small arms to Hugo Chavez. I'd be amazed if some of those weapons were not siphoned off into Mexico.

They’ve never fooled me and they never will.

I would think the 25 million to be solely freedom-loving Conservatives.

All of that means nothing against a couple of scoped rifles.

Don't bet on it. A scoped rifle isn't going to help you when the "homies" pull up next to your car and hose it down with full auto fire. Besides, they have plenty of money to purchase scopes and time to learn to use them effectively. Underestimating your opponent is a mistake.
