A friend of ours was looking for a specific shotgun for deer hunting. He began calling around the US. He finally found it in Texas. Some gun shop out there and he said the guy was really friendly and they began talking. He told him that Mexicans were buying pick up trucks full of ammo, guns, anything they could get their hands on. I asked him how they could do that, were they legal or illegal and he didn’t know. Now after reading this, makes me wonder what’s up.

[snip]EL PASO, Texas - U.S. Homeland Security officials say they have a contingency plan to help border areas fight Mexican drug violence if it spills across the U.S. border.
Chertoff ordered specific plans drawn up last summer as deadly violence in Mexico grew.
The so-called “surge” plan includes Homeland Security agents helping local authorities and maybe even military assistance from the Department of Defense.
An aide to Texas Governor Rick Perry says Texas officials were briefed on the plan — but not consulted beforehand.
