Hey stop showing your ignorance where did you get your info from your commie friends in Russia or Fox News.

Hey I hear your Hero Putin has lost over 100,000 of your commie friends in Ukraine lost there lives. Do you still think like Trump that your Friend Putin is Brilliant.
Pretty sad but you being a communist immigrant don’t you find it strange that a war that was suppose to last 2 weeks is still going on.
I just hope non of your communist family members have lost there lives. Do you still have family in Russia

Oh had your son signed up to serve in the Russian military he avoided the US military same as Trump. Was there a reason why he wasn’t excepted. Was it lack of education.
Very sad you being a Russian immigrant and never sacrificed anything for this country but you sure do know how to cut and paste Russian propaganda attempting to bring down our democracy. But you do have 4 people on OPP that encourage your propaganda campaign.

Why must you continually prove that you are not only illiterate but you are also a liar and ignorant of actual facts!?

According to Thomas Kilbride, a retired Department of Homeland Security agent and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) policy adviser, the general assumption has been that the guns got to Mexico from the U.S. predominantly by straw buyers working on behalf of gun-trafficking organizations – meaning the gun was bought illegally by someone on behalf of someone else, or from a private seller without a federal license.

“The parts are vastly hidden in vehicles in many pieces then reassembled in Mexico,” he noted.

Also, they’re routinely disguised inside other items such as goods and electronics.

The common estimation among officials has been that some 90 percent of guns in Mexico stemmed from the U.S., but such a figure would be ripe for dispute.

“I wouldn’t say that the number is that high. I would say that maybe it will be around 50 percent. The known modus operandi of weapons and money, for drugs, does happen as a transaction. But also, knowing some of the weapon systems available here in Mexico,” Oughton said, “it would suggest that they would be illegally manufactured here, and also [found] their way from other parts of Latin America, Eastern Europe... Russia and China. For me, it’s an impossibility and maybe a bit of political wrangling to lay the full blame at the USA’s door for supply and demand on guns.”

Other high-ranking officials also underscored that the majority of guns these days have been flowing not from the United States, but from the south.

“Most cartels buy in bulk, and the weapons are coming from places like Nicaragua and other South American countries. Also Asia and some from the Middle East,” a Tijuana-based police authority who requested anonymity explained. “And, another factor is the CNC machines making uppers in clandestine shops in Mexico.”

According to recent Fortress intelligence assessments, an increase in surveillance on Mexico’s northern border has meant criminal groups have had to open new arms-trafficking routes from Central America to the center of Mexico, especially into Tepito – making it the largest underground weapons distribution center in the country.

Studies have indicated weapons have been moving increasingly from Colombia, Spain, and Pakistan – in addition to the United States – to be resold in the Tepito underground.

Mexico itself has had some of the most stringent gun-control measures in the broader region, which has largely fueled the sentiment in recent years that gun violence was a result of the United States’ Second Amendment and lax gun laws by comparison. Even though the right to bear arms has been protected by the Mexican Constitution, obtaining a weapon would be a difficult grind for the average person. The entire country has just one legal gun store, known as the Directorate of Arms and Munitions Sales, which is located in Mexico City and operated by the military.

Anything more potent than a .38 caliber gun is prohibited, and customers must endure upwards of a six-month wait in their applications for permits as they undergo background checks. Those purchasing for “personal defense” would be allowed to own just one handgun. People in hunting clubs would be granted leeway to possess additional rifles. In all, fewer than 40 weapons are issued per day on average.

As a deterrent, illegal possession of a firearm, even small amounts of ammunition, could result in lengthy prison sentences.

Still, gun violence has continued to grip the country.

For some critics, it’s an explicit example of tight gun-control policies failing their citizens as homicide rates rose – up 3.3 percent in the first eight months of 2019 compared to 2018 – while law-abiding citizens have been left to recoil in the face of illegal gun owners. Over 33,000 people were murdered in Mexico last year alone.

“Mexico is a horrifying example of what can happen to a people who are disarmed and left helpless to be preyed upon by armed criminals,” added Frank Miniter, the editor in chief of the NRA’s magazine America’s 1st Freedom. “Some Mexican citizens have tried, desperately and as a last resort, to band together with whatever weapons they can gather to protect themselves.”

Facetiousness, because there are so many murders by the cartels alone.

I told you I was not posting it on OPP it would be a waste of time. OPP loves Russian immigrants they think like Trump and you that Putin is brilliant and every Intel agency in the US are wrong about Russian interference in our election. Trump said I believe my good friPutin.

I want to post it on other sites where republicans have common sense. I want to show a Russian immigrant allowed to enter this country and her family Father, mother, you and your shingle salesman son never sacrificed anything for this country and your husband had enough brains to get the hell out of that environment of hate for this country. It will be amazing taking a living breathing Russian immigrant that came to this country and she hates the party that allowed her and her family to come to this country.
But you Trump and Putin are very close to making this country into an autocracy the same life you and your family escaped from. That’s what you call gross ignorance. Maybe you were to young but your parents were not they just raised an ignorant person who hasn’t got a clue.
He is in court for Rape and you except rape as normal because it’s your love for Trump, and that Jack-ass won’t even defend himself. He is indicted for Fraud but as a Putin lover you believe non of it.
Everybody that goes up against Trump needs bodyguards to protect themselves from Trumps criminal cabal.
But you can’t see it he runs his life like the Mafia, and you sweetie Putin.

“I told you I was not posting it on OPP it would be a waste of time.”

Posting the PM is a waste of time but creating yet another new post to whine about it isn’t. 🤔

You’re a bald-face liar. The PM you continue to obsess about exists only in your demented mind. Put up or shut up. You’re all hat and no cattle. A pathetic excuse for a man.

Your perception of me couldn’t be further from the truth. You only embarrass yourself and highlight your ignorance when you put people in one of only two categories.

What are you babbling about now? Your TDS has infected your brain again. It's time for your friends to do an intervention, except you don't have any friends. How about relatives? Do you have any who haven't disowned you? And please, get back on your meds. We have enough crazy people already living on the streets.

You can't teach someone if they don't take you seriously, and it's hard to take anyone seriously when, like you, they use their ass as a garage for their head.
