I’d dearly like to see the pack of liars in our government or the MSM explain something to me.
The weapons being used and captured in Mexico are fully automatic. The weapons allegedly bought in the US are semiautomatic replicas of selective fire rifles.
These rifles don’t convert themselves to selective fire, and yet, in spite of the fact that they’re arrest and press hungry, the BATFE has never shown us an arrest of an underground rifle modification operation or arrests of people for illegally manufacturing a National Firearms Act regulated weapons from one of those replicas, or charges of trafficking of same.
In the terminology that the Feds love to use, there is a big gap in their “Stream Of Illegal Commerce.”
Bottom line? They’re lying.
BTW, those guns could just as easily be coming from China. COSCO is big in Mexico, and after the 1996 Long Beach Incident with that attempt to smuggle in AK’s and ammo, the guys doing that business had to go somewhere and given the level of corruption, Mexico is the logical place to smuggle.
It’s also interesting to note that the Chinese manufacture a nice copy of the AR-15 called the QM and the current version looks like an M-4 Carbine.
Finally, the Chinese have long sold arms and equipment with fake markings. Industrially speaking, roll stamps are cheap and if somebody wanted AR-15s with fake US markings, or AK’s with fake US importer’s stamps on em, in terms of added cost, that’s chump change. For a good customer, the Peoples Liberation Army, which owns NORINCO, would probably add those markings free of charge to a good customer.
And you see that with other items as well. For example, I’ve a fairly decent canvas backpack that’s made in China. It doesn’t match any known US equipment pattern, but that didn’t stop them from stamping the inside of the flap with fake NSN and DSA stock numbers.
And I’ve a nylon canteen cover that is also Chinese, but marked again with phony US markings.
In the end, we only know two things. First off, the Mexican and US Governments share an agenda that includes involuntary disarmament of law abiding American citizens, and two, that those guns that are mentioned, are selective fire but which don’t appear to have been converted by anybody. My guess is that those guns were manufactured as selective fire rifles and came from somewhere else, China or some other country that can manufacture copies of the AR-15 and the AK-47. A check of Small Arms Of The World, will tell you that there is quite a long list of countries that can do that, and Mexican customs is highly porous.
Since the Feds are claiming that those guns are coming from here, the burden of proof is on them, and that starts with telling us how those guns get converted to selective fire.
