If a lot of gringos were legally allowed to bring guns into México do you think they'd settle for crappy satuday-night-specials? No, they'd insist on Model 29 Smith & Wesson, Genuine .45's, PPK Walthers, and the like. The bad guys would key on this, and shoot people dead to get their firearms which are a hell of a lot harder for a sicario to get his hands on than stupid dolares.

How would you like to start playing hide and go seek at your campsite with someone armed with a Chinese AK47 or US M16?

In the real world weopons are not given to crooks to track them..what a BAD<BAD joke..next they will give the coke addicts straws to track them!! and beer bottle openers to track the beer drinkers...lets get real on this issue..they were dumping guns to the bad guys for a host of wrong/bad reasons...my 1.5 centovos..........K&T:cool:

Under the title of "nod good deed goes unpunished" I offer a few facts to this rant: FACT: In the last 5 years 68,000 illegal guns have been recovered in Mexico and traced back to the U.S. At a minimum, then, 98 percent of the guns sold by U.S. gunshops that ended up in Mexico had nothing to do with "Fast and Furious". Yet the same republicans in congress so outraged over the programs sale of 2,000 guns ( and yes it did go down wrong) have adamently blocked every effort to moniter and regulate gun shops in the U.S. So lets talk about the real problem here..the easy availability of guns in our society....I am not anti- gun ...just anti nut jobs,
and a lot of the NRA scare tactics......my 2p pesos... and don't worry David, no sheriffs reserve is ever going to be asked to put any international program together..

There is 1 Gun Company in Mexico, that is in Mexico City and it is owned by the Mexican Army, and the only legal place to buy a gun in Mexico

On June 25th, two foreigners reported that five or six armed suspects pulled up to the beach where they were sleeping in a motorhome in the pre-dawn hours and robbed them of a 28 foot boat with two 200hp Kawasaki outboards and a Kawasaki ATV.

Could this be the boat in question ?

They don't make guns they sell the guns that are legal for Mexicans to own, I believe the max is a simple 38, with x number of rounds only. Most would be a 22 or 32 cal, or a small shotgun maybe a 410, not sure of a 12 gage. but a small nose bleed compared to the bad guys and what they carry, shame a 38 doesn't work against a goat horn

As a rule whenever I have something that is of great value I insure it for theft. It sucks and it stings the pocket book a bit to do this but
if I cannot afford to replace it out of pocket it is the only option that
will cover my losses. That way I only have to worry about the police
report which is a lot easier to get from a cop in Mexico than my property back.
