Cannon Used to Shoot Drugs Over Mexican Border Fence Seized
Breitbart ^ | 20 Sep 2016

Posted on 09/21/2016 2:11:50 AM PDT by aquila48

Mexican cartel smugglers converted a van to house a cannon used for shooting large drug bundles over the border fence between the Mexican State of Sonora and Arizona. Information provided to Breitbart Texas by Mexico’s Federal police revealed that the van-turned-cannon was discovered near the fence between Agua Prieta, Sonora, and Douglas, Arizona. The truck was discovered with the doors open and no license plates.

Mexican authorities were able to use the truck’s VIN to learn that the vehicle had been reported stolen in July from Hermosillo, Sonora. Police officers went inside the van and found a home-made air powered cannon that cartel smugglers appear to have been using to shoot marijuana bundles over the border fence. The cannon used a gas-powered pump to pressurize air to fire the smuggling tool.

According to Mexican authorities, the cannon is able to fire packages over 200 yards away. The design is enough to get drug bundles over the border fence and into houses or neighborhoods on the Arizona side of the border. In the past, smugglers in that area have used drones, tunnels and catapults as some of the methods used to drugs over the fence.

Me and God aren’t so tight anymore. It is what it is.

I am glad for those on here who have a great relationship with God.

Actually, to get coke and heroin a person must take the raw material and refine or process it in some way to get coke or heroin, whereas pot is good to go right out of the ground.

God gave me pot. It’s medicine. I’m using it.

There's some controversy, but ABBA, Father seems to closely translate to "Dad" or Daddy"

Here

I've been talkin' to my Dad ever since I realized/understood that ... I think HE kind'a likes it, too.

You have no biblical case for outlawing pot under secular law. It was not illegal in biblical times. It was never outlawed in the US until the nanny-state Progressives started shoving prohibitions down our throats.

Do you at least think the Tenth Amendment should be honored and leave fedgov out of intrastate mj regulation?

The grass you cited from the Bible is for food .... not to smoke .... but I’m not going top argue with someone that retains the argument I used to use to justify MY usage until the Lord revealed the Wisdom I asked for.

I worked in a large youth authority institution in Chino CA. We let the inmates out to the rear field whee they would play softball pr whatever. We had to go check the field before we opened the doors. On day i found an arrow in the ground with a baggie of pot wrapped around the shaft.

Where there’s a will there’s a way.

Straw man argument and not germane to the subject I originally posed, which was .... and is ....

The entire concept of recreation should be more carefully analyzed.

Which has NOTHING to do with Constitutional precepts

you must be joking with that. I could find anything offensive if I WANTED to in your post.

When i said no /s tag, i meant for me towards what you said :)

heroin is in a league of its own. Pot is MUCH less dangerous than beer.

I never got into a fistfight after smoking pot.

Never broke chairs or tables or pushed couches onto the front porch after smoking a joint.

Wish I could say the same for booze.

Sorry; I had to clarify.

Some folks on FR possess deep conditioning re: the drug war.

To them, pot makes a person see monsters, run down the street naked and fight cops, just like PCP, because that is what they’ve been taught.

Yes, He does. We are His children, He is a good Father. There is a lot in ABBA.

Consider the scene: Jesus (The Son of Father God) standing with Pilate and Barabbas. Barabbas (Bar Abba) means Of or Son of, and Abba, we know. The choice was to free the ‘fake’ son of the father.
