A .50-caliber on your SUV roof could lift “road rage” to a new level!

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.

Yeah, I've seen those in Sam's Club next to the paper towels, obviously they buy them there and smuggle them across the border.

Oh, and I'm quite certain this anti-aircraft gun was smuggled across the border, probably from El Paso. Just ask anyone in the corrupt MSM!

“Mexican detained with anti-aircraft machine gun”

I didn’t know we were detaining Mexicans with anti-aircraft machine guns. We should have started that a long time ago and I hope we keep doing so.

I tried to pick up one of these at our local Gun Show last weekend but they were all sold out before I got there. They probably got shipped right to Mexico.

Bummer...

They must be concept weapons because the San Francisco Chronicle did not release any pictures.

Or maybe they were to scary?

Must have bought it at a Walmart and smuggled it across the border.

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?....

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)

Obviously purchased from a Phoenix gunshop.

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.

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.

“Mexico police seize anti-aircraft weapon near US border”
Agence France-Presse | 04/14/2009 11:07 PM

SNIPPET: “MEXICO CITY - Police seized an anti-aircraft machine gun mounted on a van and other heavy weapons at a house in northern Mexico near the US border, an official said Tuesday.

The haul came two days before a visit to Mexico by US President Barack Obama in which Mexico’s violent drug cartels and their mainly US-bought weapons were set to top the agenda.

The machine gun seized in Sonora state, bordering Arizona in the United States, could fire 800 shots per minute up to 1,500 meters away, said Rodolfo Cruz, from the federal public security ministry, at a news conference.

Police also found a grenade launcher, five shotguns, a hand grenade, and scores of magazines and cartridges.

A suspected female caretaker was also detained, Cruz said.”
