Where Do Those Guns Come From?

Okay, so the Mexican drug cartels have nasty guns. Homeland Security is going to add something like 360 more Border Patrol agents. There going to be look for guns more agressively.

One report suggested that they might actually check 1 in 10 cars so you see it's getting serious. Don't get me wrong I'm not knocking the Customs and Border Patrol. They do wonders with what little resources they have I'm sure.

Our politicians would have us believe that it's those nasty drug people buying them at Gun Shows in the United States via "Straw Purchases" and then sneaking those military grade weapons and explosives into Mexico.

However, the reality may be completely different.

Here's an interesting read.

It would appear that our State Department has authorized the sales. Yup, directly exported with the approval of State with Congessional Notification.
