Honduras? Why Would ATF Walk Guns To Honduras? |

Honduras? Why would ATF walk guns to Honduras? 1. The national scope of the Gunwalker Scandal & 2. Because that's where some of the action is. First, and this is important to understand: the Tampa operation proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that "Project Gunwalker" was a national strategy, not a Phoenix aberration. The "major media" has been slow to understand this. They have ignored the fact that the Houston Field Division had to have played a supervisory role in known straw buying incidents in Dallas and Columbus NM as they are in their area of operations, not Phoenix's. Original reporting on this subject from Texas has been pitiful. Second, Honduras is where the action is. Mexican Cartels Expand into Honduras Honduran officials report that Mexican drug traffickers are expanding their activities in the country and forming links with local bosses in four different provinces, fuelling concerns that organized crime is overwhelming the region. Honduran Military Supplied Weaponry to Cartels As Mexican cartels infiltrate Central America, corrupt elements within the region's militaries from places like Honduras are providing them with arms far superior to those of local police. But the question remains: Just how many of the weapons used by Mexican cartels come from military stockpiles in Central America versus civilian gun stores in the United States? |

#6 Sounds like Mexico needs to secure its southern border, perhaps with a moat and alligators. Now that you mention it... "According to the head of customs for Mexico's tax administration, Raúl DÃaz, in order to stop boats carrying contraband, the southern Mexican state of Chiapas is building a wall along the border river Suchiate, similar to the one the United States is building along its southern border with Mexico." |

#1 modified, automatic AK-47 variants from Romania and China. These cheaper versions are readily available in many American gun stores and bought, legally, by straw buyers at the behest of middlemen who sell them, illegally, en masse to the cartels in Mexico. bought Automatics in the US, hmmmm? Why would they pay US gun store prices, then have to convert to fully auto (another Obama-regime lie) when they can get cheap fully auto on the black market? This stinks and there needs to be some prison time for these bastards |
