    Has Mexico tried passing gun control laws that ban cartels from using .50 cal machine guns? /s

    Wonder how they got those. Not like Dumpy handed out visas to known cartel members while pushing ICE sweeps, ostensibly looking for people just like cartel members. Surely it must be a coincidence that they now have military-grade ammunition made only for US troops.
