Mexico - The War on Guns

An Act of War

Don’t look for the administration to do anything against it.

Just Like They Sell to Minors at Cabela’s!!!

Weapons found on Mexico side of border: Border Patrol alert – Border Patrol alert warns of 4 rocket-propelled grenades; 8 IEDs found [More]

Damn lax U.S. gun laws!

Their Problem Now?

U.S. plans to hand ex-Gulf Cartel chief who founded bloody Zetas gang over to Mexico on Monday [More]

Where we know there are no corrupt officials in cartel pockets, right?

The Tip of the Iceberg

CBP Seizes 90,000 Rounds of Ammunition near U.S.-Mexico Border [More]

What about stuff that bypasses checkpoints?

If only we’d ban guns here… which is kind of the conclusion we’re once more being led to…

Somos los Únicos que Somos lo Suficientemente Buscados.

‘Most Wanted’ fugitive sought in 2004 murder found working as police officer [More]

Unas cuantas manzanas podridas…

Defensive Move

Smith & Wesson filed a major brief about whether the Supreme Court should hear their appeal about their case versus the state of Mexico [Watch]

So when’s somebody going to go on offense?

Why Attribute Corruption to Cognitive Dissonance?

The United States managed to arrest Mexico’s most-wanted drug lord, but Mexican prosecutors — and the president — now say they are considering bringing treason charges against those who handed him over [More]

And we haven’t given up on that $10B, gringos…

Invaders Repelled Again

A U.S. federal judge in Massachusetts again dismissed a $10 billion Mexican government lawsuit against six U.S. gun manufacturers on Wednesday. [More]

Did I miss a story about the companies countersuing, or is that somehow not legally or economically advisable? Why?

If the companies won’t do it, would a stockholder have standing?

Anybody hear a plan on if Trump wins what he will do to put a stop to this?

Hit ’em Where It Hurts

Mexico Asks US Supreme Court To Allow Its $10 Billion Lawsuit Against US Gun Makers [More]

And the only people urging us to boycott Mexico are environmentalcases at the Center for Biological Diversity…?

And I don’t suppose a countersuit’s an option…?

Coming to America

Mexican Cartel ‘Travel Agencies’ Selling $15,000 Packages to Illegal Aliens for Help to Cross Border – People from the local police to the higher echelons of the government play a part in the operation. [More]

Funny, how the perpetratrors of “gun violence” love it when Democrats rule…

History Repeats Itself

Border Patrol in California Seizes 25 AK-Style Rifles Destined for Mexican Cartel [More]

So if Californians got the rifles in Arizona, how did they get around this?

Federal law does permit rifles or shotguns (not handguns) to be sold to non-resident buyers in other states. However, this does not apply to Californians. The thorn is that federal law requires FFLs to only sell in compliance with the buyer’s state laws.

And you’ll note no one is talking about the obvious solution…

Coming Soon, to a Narco-State Near You

Alleged drug pipeline from Mexico to St. Louis uncovered in federal case [More]

Aided and abetted by the same people who want your guns…

Mientras Tanto, Al Otro Lado del Charco…

The British ambassador to Mexico is no longer in post after a video emerged online of him apparently pointing an assault rifle at an embassy employee in Mexico.

The video shared on X, shows Jon Benjamin pointing the firearm at a person whose face has been blurred out.

Oh look, two monopolies of violence!

Saying No to Cartel-Sanctioned Lawfare

The Second Amendment Foundation has filed an amicus brief with the U.S. Supreme Court in support of Smith & Wesson in its legal fight against the government of Mexico, which seeks to hold the American gun manufacturer liable for criminal acts of third parties in Mexico. [More]

Yes, real threats from the open border directly impact the “single issue” in more ways than one.

Everyone realizes the government there would not exist without cartel sanction? A loyal American State Department would have Obrador on the carpet begging us not to cut back on trade and handout benefits.

The Gift That Keeps On Giving

Hundreds of Fast and Furious firearms have previously been traced to other shootings in Mexico. The new leak indicates hundreds more are still being found. [More]

So change the subject by trying to blame major gun retailers in an attempt to do the same thing the original plot tried to do: Enact more infringements.

I may do more on this.

Missing in Action

SCOTUS urged to hear Mexico’s lawsuit blaming US gun makers for cartel violence – GOP AGs say ‘anti-gun activists’ trying to blame US gun manufacturers for Mexico’s bad policy choices [More]

Once more I see my guy, Dave Yost, AWOL…

And once more I’ll ask him why.
