Federal prosecutors have indicted 75 people including 40 in San Diego in a massive drugs and money operation which has been called the biggest money laundering investigation ever in the Californian city. The defendants allegedly laundered drug proceeds from the Sinaloa cartel for years, U.S. Attorney Adam Braverman said at a news conference in downtown San Diego. He said the network was responsible for laundering tens of millions of dollars in drug profits over the past three years. 'We have siphoned the cash and life out of a San Diego-based international money laundering organization with ties to the Sinaloa cartel,' Braverman said.

Yep. That’s like the change you find in your couch cushions. If it was $6 BILLION, then we could get excited. The DM writer must be a wet behind the ears rube.
Or hopes his readers are.
Could I get you to take a gander at post 15..?
Super weird AR! >_<
Just a .22 rimfire made to look a little like an AR15.
They are inexpensive, but have some value for deterrence.
Deterrence is the largest use for defensive firearms.

But truth is other cartels will just pick up the slack and it won't take any time at all.Until the cartels are afraid to do business here drug importation will never stop.Demand will always be there. It's just a matter of how hard it is to get product to the customers and what are the costs.
Make it hard enough to distribute and expensive and you can slow it down and increase costs.Of course another drug will always be around the corner to take the place of whatever hard work to stop the criminals was done. Fear is all that will work and so far the bad guys don't appear to be too afraid.
That's as good as things will ever get.
Good post. Unless supplier/user penalties are really tough and truly enforced little will change.
Could be post of the month here!! And best of all, technically,
Mexico will still be paying for the wall!!!
And it's inherently very difficult to enforce laws against acts that in and of themselves have no victim - acts in which all of whose directly involved parties cooperate for their nondetection and success. That's why, while 2 in 3 murders get solved, only a miniscule fraction of drug transactions are even known to the authorities.
Duerete, helicopter & shark ... problem solved
The magazine does remind me of the magazine for a pellet or BB gun that is styled to look like an AR. However, I’m not saying thats a pellet gun.
