I really doubt that the bulk of the weapons I have seen in the media reports are U.S.
Certainly not the full-auto AKs (mostly Chinese) and frag grenades (Korean).
When the Chinese were trying to smuggle full-auto AKs into the U.S. back during the Klintonista era, they tried to send them through Mexico. Slip a crate or ten past the Mexican customs officials and then put them on a truck coming through our porous southern border. I wonder what percentage of illegal weapons in the U.S. came through Mexico? They sure seem to be able to smuggle in millions of pounds of drugs every year with few complications. Maybe we should restrict movement and limit access across our sovereign borders?
Really makes me wonder how hard it would be to bring WMDs across to use here, and if/when that happens, if we will finally enforce our own laws.
