Cannon Used to Shoot Drugs Over Mexican Border Fence Seized
Breitbart ^ | 20 Sep 2016

Posted on 09/21/2016 2:11:50 AM PDT by aquila48

Mexican cartel smugglers converted a van to house a cannon used for shooting large drug bundles over the border fence between the Mexican State of Sonora and Arizona. Information provided to Breitbart Texas by Mexico’s Federal police revealed that the van-turned-cannon was discovered near the fence between Agua Prieta, Sonora, and Douglas, Arizona. The truck was discovered with the doors open and no license plates.

Mexican authorities were able to use the truck’s VIN to learn that the vehicle had been reported stolen in July from Hermosillo, Sonora. Police officers went inside the van and found a home-made air powered cannon that cartel smugglers appear to have been using to shoot marijuana bundles over the border fence. The cannon used a gas-powered pump to pressurize air to fire the smuggling tool.

According to Mexican authorities, the cannon is able to fire packages over 200 yards away. The design is enough to get drug bundles over the border fence and into houses or neighborhoods on the Arizona side of the border. In the past, smugglers in that area have used drones, tunnels and catapults as some of the methods used to drugs over the fence.

Are you presuming they haven’t been already? The only reason they may not have been used so far is their limited payload.

Do one, do 'em all.

It just has to be.

WHY do people "need" recreation or divergence ?

WORK becomes a slow death

LIFE becomes a pain

FIX those two things and the whole recreation thing loses its necessity.

May I suggest a personal relationship with God?

Seize it? How about we put a couple of large guns on our side of the boarder and fire for effect.

They probably already are being used. Wherever there’s something illegal that people want and are willing to pay serious money for inventive folks will find a way to deliver it. Fortunately, drones aren’t feasible for aerial transport of the human contraband the wall would be mainly directed against.

Ja 4:17

Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin.

Conversely, if you are truly convicted something is not sin, I believe you're OK ...

But honestly, with;

1 Corinthians 6: 12 - 17


12All things are lawful unto me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but I will not be brought under the power of any.
13Meats for the belly, and the belly for meats: but God shall destroy both it and them. Now the body is not for fornication, but for the Lord; and the Lord for the body.
14And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
15Know ye not that your bodies are the members of Christ? shall I then take the members of Christ, and make them the members of an harlot? God forbid.
16What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh.
17But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit.


I don't see how you can.

We can play dueling Bible verses all day!

And the earth brought forth grass and herb yielding seed after its kind, and the tree yielding fruit, whose seed was in itself, after his kind: and God saw that it was good. (Genesis 1:12)

And I will raise up for them a plant of renown, and they shall be no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither bear the shame of the heathen any more. -- Ezekiel 34:29

God said, "Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree in which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to everything that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so." And God saw everything that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day. (Gen. 1:29-31)

Cocaine is evil

Heroin is evil

Pot is not evil.

Which is why God said, “Come ... let us reason together”

Coke and heroin are plant products -- as is marijuana.

Your sad attempt to MIS-use Scripture to self-justify your own sinful criminality is one

BIG FAIL!!!

Get help, FRiend!

yes but there is a MAJOR difference. I know what crack is thans :)

Half the people I drove around in my cab at night were crackheads.

It’s a TOTALLY different creature.

You dont SMOKE lines of coke and the addiction levels aren’t NEAR the same nor the destructive value.
