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?![]()

Good timing, right after Calderon called for an AWB renewal here. Illegal guns used to propagandize confiscation of legal rifles. The other night on Americans Most Wanted , John Walsh referred to an AKM rifle as a "Killing Machine". What horse sh*t!!
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.
It would be interesting to know whether such guns ever came from a government armory or depot, or whether they all were simply smuggled in on ships or planes. I can't imagine they have a tough time getting any, no matter how they do it.

-It is a seriously scary thought that there are subsets of American society that think being intellectual is a BAD thing...
True, but if you have people capable of doing all that, they might as well just make the whole thing. Making a firearm is not as tough as most people think. Especially an AK- it was designed to be easy to manufacture. An accurate barrel takes specialized equipment, but those are about as regulated as sewer pipes.
The prototype rifle Kalashnikov made before the AK was made in a train depot machine shop.

Given the ruthlessness of the drug cartels I just have one question:
Why are we not shooting illegal aliens when they cross the border illegally?
