Are these seized cartel guns coming from US?

If I had one of these I'd probably sleep with it.

I'm not sure that I've seen one of those (see above post) in my gun shop.

They had an Article in American Rifleman awhile ago. They had thousands of Full Auto Rifles, Frag Grenades, and Kevlar that read "Policia" or"Federale" something like that.

How is any of that coming from the U.S. ??

Oh come on Ret! EVERY gun shop in America has a full display of all the weapons seized in Mexico. Frag grenades, full auto, C4... Just ask your neighborhood lib - they'll tell you. They heard it on TV and you can't say something on the TV unless it's true!

Your poll needed another choice, one that included the USA. There can be no doubt that SOME of the seized guns do, in fact, come from the USA.

But it's certainly not the majority, and we certainly don't LEGALLY provide RPG's, hand grenades, machine guns, etc. We are really getting a bum rap for all this. It's a shame...............

Most are coming from South America; a few are being smuggled in from China (usually from south of the equator.) Comparativly few, (very few) are being smuggled in from the U.S.. Those that are, are "street legal" semiautomatics. These are NOT the favorites of the "cartel set."

I am looking through my Cheaper Than Dirt catalog and don't see one single accessory that looks anything like those. Perhaps a different vendor?

AKs plated with Aztec gold can be found on the Cheaper Than Dirt website, but they're marked "LE Only."

A man I respect posted on his site that he'd been in a Mexican city: full auto weapons are the rule, not the exception, and were freely fired into the air to celebrate the nearby wedding, etc.
Full auto.
How in the cotton pickin' can FULL AUTO weapons be brought in from the US???
(Oh, how clumsy of me -- so sorry -- I forgot -- you're right -- the Libs have been telling us about those evil machine guns at your neighborhood gun shop!)
