Must be the water

causing all the PSH in Mexico.

Another problem is that most of the weapons used by the traffickers come from the United States. Typically, the drug smugglers have much more firepower than local police departments, and sometimes can even outgun the federal police and the Army with high-caliber machine-guns and grenade launchers.



So the Mexican Gov't continues to claim that you can buy machine guns and grenade launchers at your local gun show.

Or is it more likely that the Cartels are getting them from corrupt Mexican officials and from smugglers heading north?

Hmm. Let me think.

If you really want a laugh, look up how Mexico defends ITS southern border with South America.

Hint: They station military on the southern border and shoot anyone who crosses it.

Think of all the PSH that would result if we did the same thing.

Modification. They shoot anyone they can't shake-down or who doesn't bribe them.
