Where can I buy these "automatic weapons" which seem to be so easily available in the United States? My local gun dealer seems to be out of grenades and full auto M-16's. Also, despite the easy availability of firearms in the US, we just don't seem to be slaughtering each other at the same rate as the Mexicans.

I dunno, but let me know if you find out. I need some frags for the Zombie Apocolypse.
For the record, I think the media is playing off of the old historical fact that America at one time sold weapons/ammo to Mexico.. and have blown it out of proportion. It's aggravating. Yes, the United States sold rebel Mexican forces during the Mexican Revolution a ton of weapons and ammo.. but that doesn't exactly support a current tendency to do so. Last time I checked, the Cartels aren't using old lever action American rifles.. they are using a ton of AK's and whatnot though.

U.S. has approved the sale of more guns to Mexico in recent years than ever before through a program called "direct commercial sales."
official tracking all those guns sold through "direct commercial sales" leaves something to be desired
Apparently she sold them so many, they felt a need to put up a sign ...

Many of the cartels' guns came from Holder and other government officials.
