and down South...waaay South

Apparently all the weapons seized in Mexico from the drug cartels come form those eviil American Gun Shows and the Mexican Police and military are allegedly getting the crap kicked out of them because of it. Which to my mind is more of a commentary on the quality of the Mexican Police and military than on the ability of the cartels to buy handguns and rifles through straw purchases in the United States. And please tell me at which gun shop or gun show I can buy rpgs, grenades, or a nice Five-Seven which I believe are restricted to police or military sales.

"The 5.7 x 28, armor piercing (AP) rounds are not available for sale to the general public and are probably coming from the Mexican military," said Stewart who has analyzed U.S.-Mexican border security issues for half a decade.

I would suspect a lot of those items are coming from the Mexican military. That would be a loophole of another sort and maybe they should take care of that and shut their yaps before looking North for the source of their problems. But hey, I'm no expert. I'm just damn tired of the news media jumping on every damn bandwagon engineered to twist the facts and generate public support for gun control. Enough and fuck ya and the one you rode in on.

UPDATE: Thanks Tam for the information. My mistake. The Five-Seven is available for sale to non law enforcement and military. It's the armor piercing (AP) rounds that aren't.
