I don't know why they won't show a picture of the gun,
all they show is this 30 cal. M1919.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (AP) -- Mexican authorities arrested a woman guarding an arsenal that included the first anti-aircraft machine gun seized in Mexico, police said Tuesday, as the army announced the capture of an alleged top drug cartel lieutenant.
The arsenal belonged to a group linked to the powerful Beltran-Leyva drug cartel, federal police coordinator Gen. Rodolfo Cruz said. It also included ammunition, five rifles, a grenade and part of a grenade launcher.

Cruz said the confiscated .50-caliber, anti-aircraft machine gun can fire 800 rounds per minute and is capable of penetrating armor from more than 5,000 feet (1,500 meters). Police on a routine patrol Monday found the gun fitted atop an SUV at a house in northern Sonora state.

Got it at an American Gun Show. /sarcasm
Must have bought it at a Walmart and smuggled it across the border.
No wonder I couldn’t find one. I was looking in the ICBM aisle.

Uh Oh... we are going to have to take all Anti-Aircraft machine guns off the local sporting goods store shelves before any more are bought and redistributed to the drug gangs in Mexico and....errrrr....what? They are not sold to private citizens? You can’t buy them at the local sporting goods store?....
[/sarcasm]
OMG, the Mexican women are wearing burkas!
I want one!
That's right. I'm surprised that Diane Sawyer wasn't johnny-on-the-spot to report the SUV also had a "NRA" sticker in the rear windshield.
Obviously the AA gun was bought at a neighborhood gun store in the US along with the other fully automatic weapons. They were smuggled across the border by American illegal aliens going into Mexico to take jobs that Mexican’s won’t do. Napalitano and her crew have traced the weapons back to the various gun stores here in the US to back up her and the MSM’s claim that most of the weapons come from the US.
> Mexican detained with anti-aircraft machine gun
When will reporters learn basic English grammar?
Gramatically the headline implies that an anti-aircraft machinegun was used to detain a Mexican.
Reporters can barely write their own names these days. I think the only requirement to be a reporter is to say the phrase “Obama good, conservatives bad” 1,000 times.
What... A machine gun or a machine-gun-toting Mexican woman?
And I’m sure it wasn’t the Mexican taxpayers who paid for that Blackhawk.
Why are the police wearing masks, but the detainee is not? In most areas the bad guys wear the masks and the good guys don’t. Or is that the point?
The picture I saw showed a standard .50 cal machine fun. It would be AA if you pointed it up in the air when a plane is flying over same as I have a 9 mm anti-aircraft pistol. If I point it in the air and a plane is flying low enough, I might hit it.
It’s a 30 cal machine gun, and not an AA gun...
Those drug cartels are killing police when they can identify them.
She purchased it from Wal-Greenns
