The Mexican Los Zetas cartel controls portions of the Texas-Mexico border and has proven to possess Russian rocket-propelled grenade launchers and the grenades (RPGs). This is significant in that the Mexican transnational group has shown a willingness to fire upon U.S. aircraft, such as they did on June 5, 2015 in the Laredo Sector along the Texas border. Another significant consideration pertains to the group’s ability to smuggle persons, narcotics, or any other item they wish into the U.S.–for the right price. The RPGs could easily end up in the hands of someone or a group within the U.S. The Los Zetas cartel having RPGs was revealed in a recent Breitbart Texas investigation into rival factions of the cartel using social media to taunt each other and to make threats. In that instance, we wrote, “In the most recent series of taunts, one faction of the Los Zetas cartel posted a photograph of what appears to be a Russian RGP-7 with the names of two rival commanders on written on the munitions.”

Will they sell some to US citizens?
I wonder if the cartel will sell us the weapons we need to defeat our own government.
More Fast and Furious weapons?
Would the Cartel sell the weapons needed to wipe them out?
More likely, they will sell them to some ISIS operatives here in the US, to use on us. You know, “work place violence” incidents.
[ WARNING: Mexican Cartel at Texas Border Has Russian RPGs ]
They rocket-propel their grenades out of love. /Jeb Bush open the border idiot
I am not fond of RPGs. That’s what took out my boy and 3 fellow Marines in Iraq.
Per Wikipedia, every two bit country in the world has a bunch of them. Shouldn’t be too difficult to get.
PING
Build a higher wall ;-)
We need to start shootin back

Well, today marks our first day as a two-bit country.
Brutally effective weapon in the right hands.
Deeply sorry for your loss.
Semper Fidelis.
So when does lewis the troll in the house start a sit-in on the house floor for RPG control ? Maybe obama and lynch can counter this with a fast-n-furious style LAWS rocket fire sale for straw purchasers to get some LAWS south of the border. Can’t have the chicoms and russkies cornering the mexican market on rocket propelled mayhem. /sarc
Wonder if they would offer a bulk discount on LAWs?
I thought NAFTA was supposed to help us citizens in trade matters such as these.
a willingness to fire upon U.S. aircraft, such as they did on June 5, 2015
The current administration also stirs up racial resentment to justify not doing it.
Prepare for war before you go to war.
Indeed. Another asset some often overlook is teachin the neighbor how to reload
