Foreign Policy Fail

Found HERE:

Yet the arms that cartels can and do buy from the open U.S. market -- completely illegally -- leave Mexico's police force and even its military outgunned. There are nearly 7,000 gun shops along the southern U.S. border, about three for every mile. They sell thousands of hand grenades, rocket-propelled grenade launchers, AK-47s, and "cop killer" guns and bullets that cut through Kevlar body armor. The weapons quickly flow south, again with barely a nod from U.S. Border Patrol.

The folks over at Foreign Policy web site need to stick to what they know foreign policy (at least I hope they know that) since they don't know guns. For the record you can't buy hand grenades or rocket-propelled grenades anywhere in the US at a gun store. . . You also can't buy fully auto AK-47s or any other machine guns (and haven't been able to since 1936 I believe). No "cop killer" stuff either (no such thing) as armor piercing ammo is illegal too. You can buy semi automatic guns, and hunting guns and hand guns.

Mexico needs to stop blaming us for it's problems and clean up it's own house. Why is it that the gun control nuts can't see it doesn't work (look at Boston, NYC or DC) and when it is pointed out to them that it fails they blame somedude for it. It is always the fault of the easy access to guns in the next town or next city or next state - and for some reason the "next town, city or state" seems to have lower crime with them lax gun laws than the "Gun Free Zone" place does. . . .

They don't get it and never will. That is why we need to dig in and get ready for a long fight to protect our rights with Zero in charge. . . .
