Mexico - The War on Guns

The Sincerest Form of Flattery

An Arizona man will spend two years in federal prison for purchasing roughly 80 weapons on behalf of Mexican cartels. Some were smuggled into Mexico, where at least one was used in a murder. [More]

It’s still more than these guys got…

Tell me again what Wayne Fincher did to deserve 6 1/2 years and not being allowed to attend his wife’s funeral…

South Of The Border (Down Mexico Way)

U.S. judge dismisses Mexico’s $10 billion lawsuit against gun makers, Mexico to appeal [More]

If the Republicans manage not to blow November, I’d like to see some economic retaliation for all the acts of war perpetrated against the U.S. by these bastards. Both in terms of aid and trade.

Hit ’em where it hurts. Make not playing ball the worst option.

If “we” were doing things right, it would be profitable for them to control the border.

I don’t know what all the fuss is about. Our own leaders tell us the real threat comes from white Christian nationalists.

The Safe Words

Son of Gulf Cartel Boss Pleads Guilty to Arms Smuggling in Texas [More]

He ought to claim it was a botched gun sting. That worked aces for the last group that tried it.

We’re the Only Ones Encarcelado Enough

An officer with the Metropolitan Nashville Police Department is currently being held in a Mexican jail after breaking Mexican federal law. Lemandries Hawes was arrested at the airport in Cancun, Mexico on July 9 for having his personally-owned pistol in his luggage. [More]

Bienvenido a la fiesta, amigo!

When it says he declared it with the airline, I’m assuming he meant outbound? What did he do to get it in?

And how is it “highly-trained law enforcement” is this freaking ignorant?

A Plan Comes Together

Biden’s Open Borders Lay Out Welcome Mat For MS-13 Gang Members [More]

Never attribute to sock puppet incompetence what can be explained by a genocidal lust for total power by the men behind the curtain.

UPDATE

According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized 15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security. [More]

That’s how it’s done– make it more worth Mexican authorities’ while to play ball. And if carrots don’t work, use sticks.

HOW THINGS WORK AROUND HERE

Satisfaction Guaranteed

Anyone not happy with anything on this site at any time will get 100% of all money they paid to me refunded, no questions asked. (No gratuities solicited or accepted.)

Comment House Rules

Keep them on topic. Trying to hijack threads really grinds my gears. No spam.
I moderate them so I’ll get to them when I can.
No threats against anyone except me. No fights–this is my place and if things get ugly, I treat unruly visitors the same way as I would in my home. Do not feed trolls–I’ll take out the trash.
Try to keep it clean.
I’m the final arbiter. If you don’t like the rules, start your own damn blog.

WarOnGuns Correspondents

Story tips received via email and social media messages will be credited. Just let me know how you want to be recognized (real name, first name/last initial, or screen name.)

Link Policy

I maintained a WogRoll at the old Blogspot place predicated on reciprocity with like-minded RKBA-related sites. Truth be told, I never got much in terms of site visits to make the effort worth the time. I may try to do something again in the future, but for now, my hands are more than full trying to get a new site started.

Advertising Disclosure

This is a placeholder for now because I have not done ads on the old blog for years. In case I ever start them up here, this will be the policy in effect: The FTC has some fool nonsense rules about ads on blogs or some such and presumes authority over the First Amendment to compel the unfunded mandate that we who earn ad revenues make some kind of disclosure so you don’t think we’re getting paid to say nice things about people or God knows what, meaning they must think you’re stupid, too. I have had a few ads on the old site in the past and may do so again if I think it’s worth a try. Combined, I probably couldn’t buy a box of good cigars each year, let alone a bottle of George T. Stagg, and that is somehow supposed to compromise my morality to force me to say nice things about products and services I don’t mean simply in exchange for filthy lucre. If you believe that, leave now–you’re not smart enough to be here. Bottom line, aside from welcoming a sponsor, I will do no posts related to their products or services, or reviews of what they offer without complete disclosure.

About “The Only Ones”

So named from a comment by DEA agent Lee Paige, who told a classroom full of kids he was “the only one” qualified to be armed and then promptly shot himself in the foot, the purpose of this feature has never been to bash cops. The only reason I do this is to amass a credible body of evidence to present when those who would deny our right to keep and bear arms use the argument that only government enforcers are professional and trained enough to do so safely and responsibly. And it’s also used to illustrate when those of official status, rank, or privilege, both in law enforcement and in some other government position, get special breaks not available to we commoners, particularly (but not exclusively) when they’re involved in gun-related incidents.
