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).
The major weapons supplier to the drug cartels is Venezuela, which gets them from China. Yes, some are stolen from the Mexican military, but ole’ Hugo Chavez is doing his part to further destabilize Mexico.
Is using the term “whole enchilada” considered profiling ?
No, he was going into Mexico. See post No. 22.
