It was a scenario U.S. law enforcement had long feared: A fragmentation grenade from Mexico's bloody drug war tossed into a public place. Only the grenade thrower's bumbling prevented bloodshed in a south Texas bar.....But the act was proof that one of the deadliest weapons in Mexico's drug battle is a real threat to the U.S..... While Mexican drug violence has been spilling across the border in the form of kidnappings and killings, grenades are a particular worry because they can kill large numbers of people indiscriminately, and a weapon of choice among Mexican cartel members. In Mexico, .... three alleged drug hit men threw several grenades into crowds of Independence Day revelers, killing eight people and wounding 106 others ..... The weapons are preferred by drug hitmen because they are cheap and easy to find. Many are left over from Central America's civil wars and sold on the black market to drug cartels. Some are brought in by weapons smugglers. Others are diverted from the region's militaries..... And there is evidence that those grenades are making their way north..... all three grenades were manufactured at the same time and place, and were at one point together in the same batch from South Korea. The Mexican military seized 165 grenades and 14 sticks of TNT belonging to the Gulf cartel in the November raid of a house in Reynosa, Mexico, a dozen miles south of McAllen, Texas..... The grenades sold legally to help U.S. allies in the region are snatched by corrupt soldiers who get paid by former colleagues, then cover their tracks by altering paperwork. Scott Stewart, a vice president for the global intelligence firm Stratfor..... said an even more daunting challenge in trying to prevent grenade smuggling into the United States is the porousness of the border. |

Maybe we could build a big fence?
Maybe we could enforce our existing immigration laws? Nah probably racist anyway. |

I thought the M67s and M4s were coming FROM the US... Exactly, I thought all the full autos, grenades, RPGs, etc were all being purchased at US gunshows and stores and going TO Mexico. At least that's what the TV said. |

Oh Shit, the Grenades that Came from the U.S. and went to the Mexican Cartels, found there way back on to our streets This is a sad sad day

Maybe Mexico buys them from our Government and then their Military sells them the the cartels... I vote we... Arrest the US Government for supplying weapons to the cartels. |

Every now and then you hear about a guy finding a grenade in a garage or in the attic of a house.
I long to be that guy. |

I was at Big 5 Sporting Goods the other day, they were all out of frags.... AGAIN!!
What I worry about is one RPG making it into the country- it could end the airline industry, I'm kind of surprised it has never happened with the border being the way it is. I mean if they can smuggle TONS of drugs at a time, I'm sure enough payola could get an RPG thrown on the drug route, to be picked up on the other side. Scary thought. |

I blame Bush and Obama for their abject failure in keeping our borders secure.
Fucking "agendas". No President should EVER have an agenda going into office unless it concerns the safety of our borders, currency or foreign trade. |

A plane getting smoked in the USA by a RPG would be very bad for the cartel's drug trade. They are capitalist not idealogical like the islamofascists. They would not allow something like that to happen. |

There's a couple of decades or three fighting the War on Drugs; surely the US .gov learned something about stopping smuggling in that time. |

Unfortunately something like that is what it is going to take before our fuck-stain politicians lock down that border. That or one of their kids or spouses or parents get wacked by some illegal. |

Third world piece of shit with hand grenades. We can't get them because our oppressive government uses the strongarm to stop manf. from selling them, but any poppy-pedlar from centromexiguatatina can pick them up at the flea market. Fuck this bullshit government. |

It is just me, or whenever a story is written by the MSM, that whatever weapon or munition is being discussed, it is the "weapon or choice" for whatever group of scumbags is being discussed?

I know where a live 20mm HE projectile is buried, or was 40+ years ago. Prior to that it spent the years after 1945 soaking in a can of oil in a shed.
I doubt it's much good even if it's still there. |
