  2. At least 100 assault rifles there. Forbes says an AK-47 goes for $1200+ on Mexico’s northern border, so assuming these are all AR-variants this seizure could have set CDN back $150,000 or more on the assault rifles alone. Add in the RPGs, 50 cals, ammo, etc., and this seizure probably cost CDN at least $200,000.

    3. in border states it does, but the deeper you go the more expensive it gets, i've seen simple semi auto draco ak's go for $60000 pesos or 3500 dollars here in michoacan. a single 50.cal round can set you back 1000 pesos and an under barrel grenade can go for 6000-8000 a pop. these are not set prices since it all depends on the seller and how they were smuggled down.

    4. Remember with cartels there is a large expense mobilizing weapons. It is not as simple as "buying" weapons.

      Makes me wonder if the serial numbers lead to the weapons dealers that supplied them from the US, because they use the weapons laws on the US and Tejas to sell their beloved weapons like putas, en la calle.
      Also, no AK47s were recovered with the hundreds of magazines?
      And book oh booy, the army's Mechanized Cavalry sure got the marinas' pecheras, like the marinas give their military surplus to the poor kids of CDN on boys day or christmas...

    1. I don't think so. I always forensic check fotos as best I can. I ran metadata and "historical image search". the oldest foto had never been posted until 3 hrs before I checked. I ran the top foto again just now and although there are 4 pages of media postings of the foto, none were before the Sedena press release. The fotos are not old.

      That said I did see several media outlets including high profile media trying to "add" old fotos that were not the ones released by SEDENA.

  25. Sorry to be off-topic, but I don’t know where to post this. My once tranquil, ‘safe’ town of Taxco, Guerrero has erupted into a battlefield. I could send in the murders every day, the bloody bodies laying in the streets in the middle of the day and heads without corpses images and photos of weaponery that this site likes to post, the many narco mantas that have been plastered around town, the psuedonyms of the players involved, the links to social media where they brag about finding the rats that are hiding. But as what I have sent so far to B.B. about this issue has been ignored, I would just like to say that until somebody dominates in this struggle, it is not a good time to visit here.

      Even 1 gun taken off the streets is a win. Especially if it would of been used on someone you know.Good Job!!

    3. Sorry to hear of the horrific struggle in your town. Do not give up hope, be wise, cautious and work to be a positive force for change. Are there any willing to organize an auto-defense group there? As for you feeling that your photos & updates front the front lines of the battle- they aren’t falling on deaf ears B.B. has shared much about the violence in Guerrero & even gov’t officials in México have publicly admitted your State in a hotspot (to put it lightly); The BB staff are taxed and overwhelmed report & just could possibly publish every photo or email update you send. Consider formulating an essay article yourself, use your first hand knowledge. Feel free to start Current Events de Guerrero discussion in the forum. It’s a great place to share firsthand & whispered knowledge about real time events.

  26. Hey Jar Head , Leather Neck or what ever a marine is refereed to these days . Thank you for your service to begin with . That being said , you were probably basically just another soldier so you military credentials don't mean anything in analyzing this . As a person studding this drug war you may have some insight , cant say for sure . I don't believe it would be in USA interest to destabilize our neighboring country . The more peaceful and prosperous mexico is the better for all . There is many weapons going into mexico from other countries . The Chinese will bring fentanyl to mexico and not weapons ? You think many of those guns are not coming from Russians . What about the best AK's in the world ? You think there isn't a Romanian out there that wants to make a buck ? Sure there are criminals here in the usa selling guns but the government (except Obama administration) is not likely to be selling guns to mexico in order to destabilize them . What we seem to have put into the game is taking out the leaders . Many are say it is a mistake . I say bullshit ! Take them down. I have to question a persons value character and and morality that believe they shouldn't go after the leaders because they believe it makes them kill one another . BULL FUCKING SHIT . If stupid lying bullshit gets repeated enough everybody starts believing it . By the way , in all my 6 decades I have never know a Mexican that eats cats and dogs . BULLSHIT !

I know that they only let it happen and "watched" when legally at time of knowledge , under the law , they cant let them travel . In another scenario if a cop knows where a load is he is obligated to but it instead of watch it to see where it goes . It is defiantly policy and may be law .

They are just more bumps in the road for society . As you get a little older you will see that everything you are believing in now was foolish . Really analyze it . When they encounter the marines , most of the time they run away and as they are going the marines kill the shit out of them . Now and then they get a marine if they can sneak up on them . All the cartel cheerleaders on here act like its such a victory . In reality the marines are stacking up a much larger body count of cartel bodies . They will eventually eradicate most of the trafficker and the rest will be hiding like scared coyotes . I would suggest that Mexican parents teach their children better . That part of the comment was in context because hise site is about the drug war in mexico . Been reminded over and over . From the sidelines I believe these marines are SOMEBODY LOL "LITTLE BOY"

  41. My Fam is from both Laredos & everyone around here knows that it was a just a small hit. CDN always gets hit by the Marina but is always gets protected by the Local Government. CDG has gain much more power in both Laredo’s recently the folks around here kinda rule in favor of CDG just because they are the lesser evil from both. The crazy part is that I don’t see Jalisco or Sinaloa owning those plazas the people have so much pride about being only control by Locals. Los Treviños Fam is loosing people due to flipping to CDG, CDN don’t always pay their people.
