Accurate Mexican crime gun reporting better late than never
“If you ever watch video or look at pictures of the drug war in Mexico, you'll notice some pretty heavy weapons. This is a war being waged with rockets and plastic explosives, not pea shooters and Saturday Night Specials,” the report states.

“You can't buy this stuff at a U.S. gun store,” it confirms. “So where do the cartels get it?”

Three sources, the report continues, citing “leaked diplomatic cables”: U.S. foreign military sales, the Mexican government and Central America.

Like the headline says, better late than never. Hopefully it is not too late to stop more regulation that only the law abiding will abide by.

1. No one actually buys the lies except the antis anymore...
Bad news is the antis have the feds on their side...anything to get a foot back in the door for gun control.

3. This would tend to explain a great many things.
Like the insistance of some, for example, that "gunrunner" is an nra/gop smokescreen, for example.

And the defense of ATF at all costs, which we see here from time to time.

So is it Fiction?


THIS FILM IS BASED ON ACTUAL EVENTS

WHILE PRIVATE GUNRUNNERS CONTINUE TO THRIVE, THE WORLD'S BIGGEST
ARMS SUPPLIERS ARE THE U.S., U.K., RUSSIA, FRANCE AND CHINA.
THEY ARE ALSO THE FIVE PERMANENT MEMBERS OF THE U.N. SECURITY COUNCIL.
