Someone posted a good comment to the AP story linked above:
The Mexican gov't., our State Dept. and our ATF seem convinced that 90% of the guns come from stores in the U.S. but where is the documentation? Let's see a list of U.S.-purchased weapons recovered in Mexico: make, model, serial number, the name and location of the U.S. gunshop where it was purchased and the name of the individual who purchased it.Another wrote:
Cartels buy their arms from countries around the world, most any place where military weapons can be purchased on the black market, or from countries wishing to destabilize North America. They arm themselves from a worldwide black market of full auto military weapons including grenades, land mines and RPGs. They also "procure" their weapons from the less than savory from within the Mexican military.Precisely!Drug cartels buying semi-auto AR15 or AK rifles from U.S. gun dealers is viewed as a joke by Mexico's drug cartel, most Mexicans, and unfortunately by the Mexican government. The only people fooled by all the political rhetoric are Americans listening to the likes of Attorney General Eric Holder and other anti-gun politicians.
This is taking a Mexican problem, blaming the U.S. by turning it into a crisis in order further an agenda, and Eric Holder and President Obama knows it and they are taking advantage of it.
I watched Sec State Clinton’s eyes just about popping out of her head as she described to Greta Van Sustren that America should have never repealed her husbands assault weapons ban , and that only re-instituting it will save the country AND Mexico from this deadly scourge .
Isn’t this heavy artillery actually coming from the PRC?
Where are the truckloads of AK’s really coming from ? NOT
America .
The criminals in washington tell the media whores the guns in Mexico are from American gun shops, of coarse the zombie followers shake thier heads violently YES. Its the American gun shops and the manufacterers of guns that are the problem. When we all nowwhere they are getting thier military grade weapons from. Distabilize, assist, stabilize and the north American Union is born.
I’m sure Chuck Schumer and the likes are aware that they’re building an AK 47 factory in Venezuela, and he seems to think we are the ones supplying the Cartels? Folks I’d be more worried of an invasion from the south than a revolution here.
Hillary and Bill had close connections with the Mexican drug cartels. She certainly knows this. But she is a congenital liar.
"Two commanders of the Zetas, the armed wing of Mexico's Gulf cartel, and 37 recruits fled the camp before the police and army arrived, leaving behind 500 grenades, six rifles and hundreds of rounds of ammunition, Blanco said."
Can't you just go in to any old gun shop in Arizona and buy a couple hundred grenades? /sarc off
The notion that large scale drug cartels would pay retail for semi-auto weapons in the USA is nonsensical. A good bit of the cocaine they distribute is produced by FARC affiliated rebels in the jungles of Columbia. Needless to say those guys have plenty of full auto weaponry, including AK-47s from Hugo himself. I'm sure you can buy weapons from them as well as cocaine, and its a lot easier to just load them on the plane there than try to buy them one by one in the USA and smuggle them across the border.
good read
More marxist propaganda designed to destroy the Constitution.
Clearly written by someone who is unfamiliar with Texas.
Be sure to see this related article:
Hizbullah, Mexican drug cartels working together
“Hizbullah relies on “the same criminal weapons smugglers, document traffickers and transportation experts as the drug cartels,” said Michael Braun, former administrator and chief of operations at the US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA).”

By the way, the Full Auto Ban Amendment to the 1986 “Firearms Owners Protection Act” never REALLY passed! It was just on a voice vote, and the Nays WAY outweighed the Yeas on the Amendment’s adoption ballot! I heard it! Tip O’Neal just PROCLAIMED that it passed, to the GASPS of many in attendence, and the minority Repubs could not challenge him because of the parlimentary rules in effect at the time! HONEST! History!
You mean the drug cartels might be smuggling both drugs AND weapons? I am shocked! Just shocked!
Dang, Mexicans are so lucky......
Brown, Holder, Obama, Soros, Sardosky are all Globalists and they want US overrun by our own Mandarins as they know the only force that can stop the NWO is the US.
Mexico needs to be cut off at the knees, but GWB was too involved in Globalism himself...
I don’t believe a single shred about these weapons coming from the US, not that there isn’t some but not the fully auto stuff, its all political propaganda tools to support misguided agencies that are under an illegal presidents wet dream.
I wish it was possible to BUY BACK these guns from Mexico, thats right, allow Americans to cross the border, buy anything they want and come back home.
Or just do it and don’t say a word.
Really good article here.
Great post.
...Go back to bed America, yer guber-nitwits are in control. We got a “well regulated militia” to protect yer bovine asses. Here’s yer sling shot and pea shooter, oh yea, BB gun...
...Hmmm, do I need the /sarc tag???
If anyone remotely connected to Obama says anything it is nothing but propaganda. Holder says we should ban guns because they are being used in Mexico.
I wonder why there isn’t a big enterprise smuggling automatic weapons into the States to sell. Looks like it could be as lucrative as the drug business.
