New Study Points to Truth About Mexican Cartels' Guns

The Woodrow Wilson International Center, which previously accepted as fact that incredible numbers of newly purchased firearms were being smuggled from the U.S. to Mexico, has just released a report showing that the numbers have been incredibly exaggerated. The revelation shifts the blame for Mexico's drug cartel problem away from America's "lax" gun laws, and squarely in the direction of Mexican officials and Central American weapons smugglers.

Sometimes it takes a while to get the truth out - even longer if there is mis-information being propagated. Thank the founders for that wonderful First Amendment.

They buy M249s AT4s M1A1 Abrams tanks and all that stuff right at your local gunshow/ Satanic love fest. I read it right here on DU

Everybody knows you can get AK-47's, M16's, and full auto pistols at your local Wal Mart, all because the NRA is soooo powerful (even though they don't represent anyone but dittohead wingnuts and gun manufacturers.)

There is much interesting on pp. 12-13 (of pdf pagination):

Hmmm.... straw man purchasers are uninteresting targets. The cartels themselves are out of our reach. That seems to leave FFLs and gunshows.

And the responsibility for the agency-sponsored gun running seems to go right to the top. P. 18 is devoted to HQ monitoring of operations. "The monitoring and coordinating of Southwest border investigations will be the responsibility of the recently established Firearms Operations Division."

P. 19: "The controlled movement of firearms, ammunition, explosives, explosives devices, and/or components or non-functional “props” of such items across the U.S.-Mexico border from the United States shall be coordinated with and approved in advance by Bureau headquarters and the MCO "

Of course it's been a lie since the beginning, and a well known one at that.

Why would cartels get traceable guns from the US that must be smuggled across the US border when they can get untraceable machine guns at home for cheaper from their own government?

Cartels are evil, not stupid.

That think WE are stupid .


Follow the tale of The Iron River to its headwaters and you will find the culprits .

Cleanup on aisle 9.

The last one was such a great success.

And the so often bayonet charge during gang wars.

Oh wait, you were talking about a gun thing. Well. I ain't for banning that either.
