More Kabuki theater to “prove” that American guns are “causing” Mexican violence. We are supposed to believe that someone with tens of thousands of dollars worth of guns and ammunition is expecting to get past the Mexican border guards/bribe collectors but is careless enough to get stopped for a traffic violation and then act guilty of smuggling? More likely that this was staged by the Obamunists as a lead up to the expected executive order establishing gun control.

Very good point, that lot took a huge amount of money and if a legitimate effort wouldn’t have been in such a obvious target for the police. All that was missing was the magnetic sign on the car saying “Guns to Mexico.com”.

First, when you cross the border headed south, there are no “exit checks” on the US side. You leave the USA without ANY contact with US customs or border patrol. The first checkpoint you hit is Mexican. A “random” machine hits the red or green light. If you get green,,,you drive straight in and never hit another check.
As for a red light,,, those guys arent that good, or well paid. But they are bright enough to know they’ll be dead by the end of the week if the screw with a southbound load.

OTOH,,Texas DPS and other agencies are very good at finding smugglers. This was a Southbound Cartel load, driven by illegals.
