Anahi Beltran Cabrera is paraded for the cameras with her stash of weapons

I am not making excuses for drug lords, but do you know what I see in the picture captioned?

FACELESS accusers. The USA is not Mexico

Hey, I’ve personally seen RPG’s, Grenades, Light Antitank Weapons and Flamethrowers on sale at WalMart.

But I don’t think the average citizens should be able buy these things there, even WITH a background check.

I do believe in the Second Amendment because duck hunting is pretty good outdoor sport, and the Second Amendment allows that.

Hey, they are hoarding 5.56 and 7.62x51 ammo. Fiochi.. I have a box of that, which I paid too much for. I wanted it on hand should my AR kit come in. The ammo I ordered is likely to arrive before the kit. The kit is supposedly 12 weeks away (making a total of 18 weeks) while the ammo is promised for about 3 weeks from now, only about 8 weeks after the order.

While the machine gun on the right is not a .50, that big barrel on the left appears to be, although it's hard to tell what weapon it's attached to. Blowing up the picture shows a muzzle device more typical of a .50 "sniper" rifle than of an M2. However the picture on the left of a white pickup clearly shows a large gun, fed from a magazine can, mounted in the bed.

It’s an amazing feat of engineering.

Just like most everything designed by John Moses Browning.

Police: Man Robs Bank with Assault Handgun

Read this article and the comments that follow. Truly, the press is all about propaganda.

[El Gato]

a mini gun of some kind.

I don't think so, I see only a single (big!) barrel. That's likely the .50 machine gun.

Assault Handgun

Is that like an assault rock?

[Jet Jaguar]

I am encouraged by the commenters on that page.

The writer is a doofus and the gun is not a Tec-9.

[mylife]

Only Chickie Schumer may use the relativity useless Tec-9

Schumer tec 9

[Always Independent]

That looks more like a 30 cal to me.

[smokingfrog]

Wow. Four hunting rifles, a few dozen AK magazines and boxes of old Fiocchi ammo too.

[Star Traveler]

Well..., she was just exercising her Second Amendment rights south of the border — and if they *need* that *anywhere* — it’s certainly “south of the border”.... LOL...

M2x2

I could use one of those, purely for home defense of course... and a flat bed to feed it.

[2harddrive]

What Texas gun store sold her THAT? LOL.

[Little Ray]

Unless they failed to show it, the only “AA capable” weapon I saw in that cache was a M-1919 Browning .30 cal. machine gun.
I wonder where the heck they got it? Probably from a military - its still in use in some armed forces.

Guilty?

I'm leaning torwards No. hehe

[mylife]

Of course ;)

And doesnt it appear that the upright rifle on the right has the appropriate hand grip of an SMLE?

"Sadly the united nations seems to run the merchant sea laws."

Not really. Interestingly enough, Ron Paul found out that the US constitution allows the Congress to vote a 'letter of marque' to any US ship as being a representative of the US. They can defend themselves with deadly force on the high seas anywhere.

It started with our own revolution. For a while it lapsed until Thomas Jefferson needed to blow up and burn down north africa 200 years ago. Letter of marque is on the books in admiralty law. That's why we haven't been screwed with for this long.

They wouldn't dare screw with Bush. He would use it.
