Read the comments. Apparently it still America’s fault, because we probably sold, or manufactured, or caused them to be purchased. Therefore some grenades getting disappeared from some depot in Guatemala City is basically Bush’s fault.
You Yanqui bastards! You clearly colonized Guatemala and destroyed the native culture, then supplanted your own racist gun culture upon the peaceful natives! Siempre hasta la revolucion!
This story is clearly wrong because American guns are NOT going to Mexico. Nuh uh.

Roswell Man Pleads Guilty in Firearms Case
Associated Press
Authorities say a Roswell man has pleaded guilty to making false statements to federal investigators in an attempt to illegally purchase eight firearms.
Prosecutors say 38-year-old Carlos Martell entered the plea Monday in federal court.
Martell told authorities he knew some of these firearms would be sent to Mexico. U.S. Attorney Kenneth Gonzales says the focus of the investigation was to prevent the weapons from ending up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels.
Authorities say Martell admitted paying two individuals from July 2009 to February 2010 to purchase firearms for him so he wouldn’t be directly linked to the effort. The weapons purchased included assault rifles and semiautomatic pistols.
Martell remains free on bond pending sentencing. He faces up to five years in prison and a $250,000 fine.

But what about the RPGs, Joan Peterson told me that you can buy RPGs without a background check at gunshows!
I dunno about gunshows, but you can buy RPGs online, and they’ll even sell to children!!

i’ve never said guns weren’t going there from the US. But machine guns, grenades, RPGs, and 40mm tank guns are not coming from here. Get it right.
