They can buy them just as easily from China -- where they buy the ingredients to make tons of meth -- but Obama made it very easy with his Fast and Furious program. He supplied the cartels their high powered weapons.

Mexican law makes them illegal but as we can all see, that doesn't limit the supply in any way. But if they weren't getting the weapons from the Obama administration, they can certainly get them elsewhere.

It makes it much harder to obtain things like huge magazines when they are illegal. Thats the point.

These guys are going to gun stores and buying this stuff. If they can't do that, it makes it much harder to do their deeds.
Huge magazines are smaller than people and you don't see the smugglers having any trouble smuggling in many thousands of people.

Imagine that truck filled with 26 illegals that crashed and killed 14 of them the other day. It could just as easily have been packed with huge magazines and other weapons.

Chapo Guzman would love to have weapons added to his shipments to the black market -- that would be just more money for him and his cartel.

Magazines - AR-15 OR Hustler - which is more dangerous?

AR-15 Magazines















Hustler - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I was going to post a Hustler cover - but I wanted to keep this thread reasonably clean.

Banning people is the only way to go, I'm telling you!
