Sounds like the makings of a great party - guns, ammo, hand grenades, cocaine, marijuana, a car without plates. How come no beer or booze?

Note that all these "sporting weapons" are available at your local neighborhood gun shop. That's what MSNBC would like you to believe.
In addition to foreign trade with communist and drug trading countries, Mexico is also a source of cartel armament. 100,000 Mexican military troops defected to the cartels WITH THEIR WEAPONS.
Interesting that the individuals apprehended come from various parts of Mexico. Makes one wonder how they know each other.

Where did you get THAT information ?? 100,000 ????????????????? according to the Wiki there are only 192,000 total troops.
What is the point of the foreign trade comment? That would describe the United States and almost every other country in the world as well.

Roberto....this was reported by CNN in 2009...I'm sure that there have been more desertions by now, although I would agree that not all of them "defected" to the cartel....
Army desertions hurting Mexico's war on drugs
GULF CARTEL
March 11, 2009|By Rey Rodriguez CNN
-
A soldier stands guard outside the forensics service headquarters in Cancun, Mexico, in February.
In the face of spiraling drug violence that has shaken the country, the Mexican army has taken a lead role in attempting to thwart the narcotraffickers. But its ability to do so has been hurt by a large number of desertions, government officials say.
At present, some 40,000 forces are deployed throughout the nation against the traffickers, according to the secretary of defense.
But during the past six years, some 150,000 soldiers have deserted, with their departures disproportionately affecting forces stationed in Guerrero, Sinaloa, Michoacan and Chihuahua -- all considered fronts in the government's fight against drug cartels.

Roberto - My statement in regard to Mexico's foreign trade with "communist and drug trading countries" is that these countries are the sources of the weapons used by the cartels. The large quantities of weapons go both ways with the drug shipments, depending on the countries. Sure, a few individuals smuggle a few weapons into Mexico from the US. That's like comparing a few individuals coming north across the border with a personal stash in their pockets, with the tons of drugs coming across the border every day.

Your dreamin Jack...the trade in guns headed south is huge.....I know guys that used to be in it 10 years ago that used to buy from gun stores and reselling to mexicans..some ended up getting busted.The gun show exclusion has made it possible to get anything you want.Maybe not at the show but the connections are made there.

jerry - Insignificant, compared to the mass importation of arms from the countries that I mentioned. What you are talking about is small stuff for personal use. Individuals smuggling a few legal guns across the border are not arming the cartels. The arms that the cartels are interested in cannot even be imported into the US, much less purchased here. The cartels are interested only in fully automatic weapons, not sporting arms, or arms for personal defense, although many individuals are interested in these types of weapons, and there is a market for them. Hugo Chavez has ravished his country into a third world nation as a communist dictatorship. He is hungry for revenue and has become involved in the lucrative cocaine trade to Europe via Africa. Russia has completed an AK47 factory in Venezuela, the product of which Chavez uses for barter for drugs. This is what arms the cartels. Take a look at the pictures of the arms confiscated in raids and you will understand.
