Don: if you were a leader in a Mexican cartel with access to rifles, ammunition, grenades and RPG’s from Mexican military arsenals, M16 rifles and ammunition from scavengers all over South America who have old American military exports to sell on the cheap, and a dozen other sources . . . would you be sending […]

Claim: It is estimated that at least 90% of the guns used by the Mexican drug trafficking organisations have come from the US. But, of course, the truth is a bit different. A source of the guns used by the cartels in Mexico is the US. But not gun shows: The deadliest of the weapons […]

According to polls, the American people are not buying it: The poll, which was conducted March 20-23 and has a margin of error of plus-or-minus 1.5 percentage points, asked 4,523 likely voters: “Mexican officials, gun control groups and officials at the Department of Homeland Security claim drug cartels are crossing the U.S. border in order […]

Once more, it’s misleading. The other biased Washington paper reports: Mexico has long tried to get the United States to curtail the number of guns – many purchased legally – that wind up south of the border, where gun laws are much stricter. The State Department says firearms obtained in the United States account for […]

A look at Mexican gun laws in action. Meanwhile, insty notes that the canard of Military hardware flowing into Mexico from the US is being parroted by the press. The LA Times (yes, that LA Times) who is known to shill for any anti-gun cause notes: Most of these weapons are being smuggled from Central […]

It keeps coming. Except that it’s not real. Testimony from law enforcement officials concludes that, generally, military hardware is not flowing into Mexico from the United States. We gun nuts have been saying that for years. More testimony here. The experts on the panel do not conclude that more gun control is the answer. But […]

You would expect a retired general to know guns. You’d be wrong. He does, however, know his PSH: Mexican law enforcement authorities and soldiers face heavily armed drug gangs with high-powered military automatic weapons. Perhaps 90% of these weapons are smuggled across the US border. They are frequently purchased from licensed US gun dealers in […]

With apologies to George Lopez for the joke. Doom and gloom at the border: U.S. should focus on stemming gun flow, Mexico says Drug-trade in Mexico kept alive by U.S. demand Still No. 1; But that’s not a good thing – it’s in gunrunning The hunt for guns; Fed agents busy trying to stymie local […]

The AP: AP Poll: Blacks Likelier to Celebrate MLK And whites apparently notice that the banks aren’t open. In other, other news: SayUncle discovers that Likelier is a real word.

Joked before about shipping guns to Hong Kong. Maybe I should add Mexico to the list: ‘Americans should hold on to their guns’: Bride-to-be whose family was killed in massacre days before her wedding advocates for carrying weapons because she says defenseless Mexicans can’t fight back against cartels

Kind of frightening: A Drug Cartel Just Defeated The Mexican Military In Battle If it isn’t already, Mexico will soon be ran completely by drug lords.

Joe: There is only hot and pain. It had long been a source of great perplexion to me, Why do people deliberately cause themselves pain for no apparently benefit? I have several nice scotch bonnets that I’m making a jerk sauce out of. I am a pepper snob and if it’s hot just to be […]

Prosecutors don’t want jurors to know about Operation Fast and Furious: Operation Fast and Furious is among the most epic boondoggles in the history of federal law enforcement, which probably explains why federal prosecutors dont want jurors in the trial of Sinaloa cartel leader Joaqun El Chapo Guzmn to hear anything about it. Fast and […]

Back in nineteen aught eleventy three, I first started carrying a handgun. Back in those days, there weren’t clueful people on the internet to hash out better ways of doing things. Generally, you got advice from: 1) Gun magazines that never reviewed a bad gun in their existence. 2) Old guys who said they were […]

Is my Sig Sauer P229. I’ve even, recently, taken to carrying it AIWB on occasion* as I try out this new fangled carry method. Even though it’s not new. But there’s a lot more clue involved than in the old days when we called Mexican carry. Even thought it wasn’t exactly that. Tam has a […]

Judicial Watch: Obama DOJ Failed to Stop Mexican Cartel Murder of ICE Agent with Smuggled Guns

Not helping: No one wins in either country when human smugglers and drug traffickers prey on innocent people, when cartels commit acts of violence, when illegal weapons and cash flow from the United States into Mexico, I know! Let’s make it illegal to sell guns to Mexican gang members. Oh, wait.

It’s not new news. But it’s being printed in the AP now: The Associated Press reported this morning that a .50 BMG rifle found at Mexican drug lord Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman’s hideout in January was one of the ones sold through a straw purchase in Operation Fast and Furious.

Yeah, not so much: Zastava said it exported a gun with that serial number to Delray Beach, Florida-based Century Arms in 2013. According to the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, the gun was received by Century and eventually sent to a federal firearms licensee in the United States and purchased by an […]

Some imbecile thinks that the NRA is waning in power and that the Brady Campaign Desperate To Raise Money is rising. He’s clearly not paying attention. Meanwhile, speculation that the NRA will fall because of immigration. I live in an area with a lot of immigrants and resident workers (mostly Japanese and Mexican). Do you […]

ISIS operating near Texas?

Well, let’s see how this turns out: Islamic terrorists have entered the United States through the Mexican border and Homeland Security sources tell Judicial Watch that four have been apprehended in the last 36 hours by federal authorities and the Texas Department of Public Safety in McAllen and Pharr. JW confirmed this after California Congressman […]

Heh. Though, seriously, you should stick with carrying one long gun. Unless you can dual wield ARs!

Gun rights activists struggle: Luis Merino may be the loneliest gun rights activist in North America. Like a kid in a pastry shop, he gazes longingly into the display cases of 9mm handguns and sleek semi­automatic rifles here at the Directorate of Arms and Munitions Sales, the only gun store in this entire country. Run […]

Arm yourself against drug cartels, that’ll get you arrested: Mexican authorities detained one of the most well-known leaders of vigilante groups that have been battling drug gangs in the western Mexican state of Michoacan, a federal official said on Friday. Jose Mireles, a medical doctor who became one of the most visible leaders of vigilante […]

One of my neighbors likes to let her chihuahua run loose. It charges other leashed dogs with seeming regularity, based on the complaints I’ve heard since finding out I was getting sued by her, and a number of other neighbors asking about me about getting sued. Anyhoo, apparently her dog running loose is my fault […]

Mexican government decides that those vigilantes taking on drug cartels aren’t such a bad thing since they are winning. Makes vigilantes legal, which makes them no longer vigilantes.

There are still a lot of guns. Mexicans rise up against drug cartels.

One of the guns turned up in a shootout between authorities and cartel gunmen. The press keeps calling fast and furious a “botched” operation. It was not botched, it worked as planned.

Ruger 10/22 LASER Beretta Pico sounds like the only pricey dish at a Mexican restaurant. Goblin Cleaver The littlest Browning
