Well. This raises more questions than it answers. It doesn't indicate, to me at least, which way he was going. Into Mexico? Into the US? Napolitano now has CBP checking vehicles leaving our country to see if they are carrying weapons (which sort of undermines our security, I think). Anyway, what was this name? He is a "resident" of El Mirage. What does he do there?

Lucky for him he was caught on the US side of the border rather than the other side.

...this scant bit of information probably tells you what his ethnicity was...

Why is the man's ethnicity? Is he Arab-American, African-American, or Mexican-American? Maybe he is one of those pesky Amish-no not possible, there is no political correctness protecting the identity of Christians.

Wait,... didn’t the Aztlan President (either one or both) just tell us the machine guns were going in the opposite direction?

Given that Mexican drug gangs have full-auto weapons (stolen from Mexican Army and other sources), and that there are PLENTY of gang-bangers in the US who would love the bragging rights of having full auto (hey, if it’s a felony for you to even possess a single-shot gun, might as well go for the whole enchilada).

El Mirage is Mexi-town, USA. The guy was likely an illegal from Mexico.

A 20-year-old U.S. citizen was stopped at the U.S.-Mexico border... They had to highlight this in the very first sentence. Makes you wonder what they are hiding. Let me guess...

What kind of drug were the Customs and Border Protection officers there to escort to a safe haven for the Drug Cartels?.. They surely were NOT there to capture insurgents..

I would expect that he was coming to the U.S. because you are not checked on the U.S. side when going to Mexico by U.S customs but you might be checked on the Mexican side. I lived on the border for 5 years and was only checked one time by U.S. officials when I was going to Mexico and that was at a roadblock on the bridge and they were looking for someone. When leaving Mexico you are not checked on their side but could be checked on this side.

I think it rather obvious; the guns were coming into the US. If they were going south there would have been the usual screed about the US supplying guns to the Mexican drug cartels.

I’m sure that he bought those at a local gun shop or a recent gun show. The BATF will probably start raiding gunshops and gun shows to put a stop to this.

He should have doone what the Jackal did in the “Day of the Jackal”. Cut out a piece of his exhaust and hidden the parts in the piping.

Given the hoplophobic nature of journalists, they very well could have been semi-auto 50-cals, and they wouldn’t know the difference. I can’t see a self-fire lever in the picture.

Hmmm. was he intending to supply the other side? Druggies, coyotes...hard to say? Does not sound like a citizen wanting to help patrol the border...but the press will frame it that way. Evil militia taking machine guns to gun down helpless immigrants is how they will make it appear, when perhaps the exact opposite is true.

That’s my question.
My guess will be that if don’t hear any more about, he was heading North.
If he was heading South, we’ll never hear the end of it.
