No mention of whether the guns were legal or illegal, I’m presuming. Nowdays, the presence of any gun in connection with any law enforcement operation (not connected with LE)is automatically presumed to be illegal....
And an automatic.
I also read that gunfire was sometimes heard on the property.
Timed to coincide with the grand finale of El Cartel 2 on Telemundo? I am getting too cynical in my old age.
It is legal in Texas to have your own firearms including AK47s on your own property - there is no registration.
However it sure sounds like a cartel operation - there are thousands of cartel operations in Texas.
The only difference between this gang bust and the ones in Mexico is that the Mexican army just executes the gang members in their compounds, while USA agents usually do not.
The civil war is here and these are the players - it is more like a degeneration into bands of warlords active in drugs and gun running, versus the feds every once in a while, and everyone else tries to stay out of the way and self preserve. This same war is violent enough here, but more shooting bombing and bloody 300 miles away just across the border, same warlords. Coming soon to a family compound near you.
