You DO know that automatic weapons are heavily regulated in the USA???

You can't simply go out and buy one.
Correct sir. Its a Class III permit, very tight restrictions and you give up your civil liberty to not have your home entered without a warrant.

Well Deezus I'm sure you have a huge illegal alien problem up there in Portland - why don't you spend some time in the border states and you can see for yourself.

And yet there you have it, the rifles were confiscated by a Texas Sheriff. Or are you doubting this???

So either -

A. there were automatic rifles obtained within the United States by the drug cartels. Could be possible with all the money they have to bribe " the regulators" with.

Or

B. maybe the reporter got it wrong, and they were actually semi-automatic weapons.

But how can this be?? Why would the cartels be purchasing inferior weapons, as you have reminded us (many) times??


The weapons were confiscated in Texas Oz. So pick your scenario, does not change anything either way... when you look at this way, does it.

The AK's are the only thing I'm seeing mentioned as automatic. Link to all 147 rifles being automatic?

Huh? I just said it was interesting in relation to what's being discussed in terms of this thread. I've never made any comment whatsoever on illegal immigration and how do you know I've haven't spent plenty of time in the Southwest. What's your fricking problem?

Who said that ? There were AK 47s confiscated in Texas. This be true. Along with the other "inferior" weapons. You know, those ones you keep insisting the cartels would not be bothered with.
