News From the Border

Providing the news from a different front but from a war that we must win as well! I recognize the poverty and desperate conditions that many Latinos live in. We, as the USA, have a responsibility to do as much as we can to reach out to aid and assist spiritually with the Gospel and naturally with training, technology and resources. But poverty gives no one the right to break the laws of another sovereign nation.

High-powered weapons seized in Arizona, feds say

PHOENIX - Spread across a conference table at the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives in Phoenix are enough weapons to equip several carloads of drug runners.

Agents said Thursday they found the 42 weapons in a storage locker about 10 days ago.

The guns are worth $250,000: Belgian-made "FN" handguns, semiautomatic AK rifles and other pistols.

They also found four olive boxes loaded with 50-caliber cartridges, ammunition that's big enough to take out an airplane.

Some of those guns end up in the hands of California gangs or with coyotes herding illegal immigrants into the U.S.

Still, Mangan said a majority of the guns are smuggled into Mexico for use by drug dealers.
