I've had a home at Cholla bay for 30 years and RP has always been a fun place to be. Now, one of the honest folks, (I know him fairly well) has been gunned down by the one of the cartel's. A fully automatic AK 47 was used.

Looks like he is still with us, but in pretty bad shape - click here for the story.
I pray that he recovers and they can apprehend those responsible!
My guess is that if they're even caught, he'll be out within a year because he didn't actually kill anyone then he can have plenty of chances to finish the job. I'm sure it does have a lot to do with narcotics and if caught, he can probably have some of the cops down there do the deed while he's sitting in prison. No wonder the Mexican President wants us to keep our borders open. The criminals out gun and out number the police. The cops succumb to thoughts of certain death if they don't comply with the drug cartel, mix that with a gun ban for good citizens and you have a hell-hole to live in. They can have that place. And thank God for our LEO organizations!
Uh huh, and I suppose that those automatic AKs were smuggled across the border from the US, right? :rolleyes:
Somehow that poop bag Calderon will blame the US and tell us to tighten our gun control laws as they have worked so well for Mexico.Quote:

One thing we can be certain of is that this full-auto AK didn't come from the US and its supposedly lax controls. Calderon's gonna have to look elsewhere for a scapegoat. Though, he should look in the mirror, given his utter inability to make a dent in his own country's druggies and their crime cartels. (Of course, this one was south of the border, on the Gulf.)
A Legal FA AK may not have come from the USA,but a semi auto AK may have been smuggled and the receiver machined to accept a FA parts kit making it a select fire gun,cartels have enough money to buy people with the knowledge to convert AK's and AR's
Yeah, it's not like silly little laws precluding such conversion are going to stop them, particularly when the entire gun is already flatly illegal in Mexico anyway.Quote:

Best way to tell if a rifle has come from the United States. Look at it. If it doesn't have at LEAST 700.00 in aftermarket accessories then it's probably not from the US.Quote:
