FRONTON — U. S. Border Patrol agents seized six assault rifles, one rocket launcher, a grenade launcher, and three packages of what appeared to be C-4 explosives Tuesday near the Rio Grande.
Agents patrolling the river near Fronton spotted a black bag in the brush. Inside, agents found the guns, rocket launcher, grenade launcher and explosives, along with a lower receiver for an assault rifle and 20 ammunition magazines.
The weapons were turned over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives for further investigation

Turned them over to the ATF? You’ll never see or hear from them again if the Admin has anything to say about it. Are we ever going to learn?

Why did they even turn in to ATF...should’ve turned it over to the Recon Texas Ranger Teams on the border. They would have actually placed it in safe keeping. Texas Rangers can be trusted.

These kinds of conventional weapons are what worry me more than anything else. Given the prevalence of IEDs overseas, how long can it be until they make their way here?

This is not surprising. Our southern border is like a piece of Swiss cheese.
When, not if, the jihadists attack, it will be found that they and their weapons of destruction came across the southern border.
What other method would they use?

Interesting timing, the Texas FReeper memorial shoot is around the corner. Maybe someone dropped some party favors?

The weapons were turned over to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco Firearms and Explosives Are we gonna trust THEM not to return them to the drug cartel? Putting the fox in charge of the chicken house again. Better to turn them over to the Texas Rangers.
