Liberty is an inherently offensive lifestyle. Living in a free society guarantees that each one of us will see our most cherished principles and beliefs questioned and in some cases mocked. That psychic discomfort is the price we pay for basic civic peace. It's worth it. It's a pragmatic principle. Defend everyone else's rights, because if you don't there is no one to defend yours. -- MaxedOutMama

I don't just want gun rights... I want individual liberty, a culture of self-reliance....I want the whole bloody thing. -- Kim du Toit

The most glaring example of the cognitive dissonance on the left is the concept that human beings are inherently good, yet at the same time cannot be trusted with any kind of weapon, unless the magic fairy dust of government authority gets sprinkled upon them.-- Moshe Ben-David

The cult of the left believes that it is engaged in a great apocalyptic battle with corporations and industrialists for the ownership of the unthinking masses. Its acolytes see themselves as the individuals who have been "liberated" to think for themselves. They make choices. You however are just a member of the unthinking masses. You are not really a person, but only respond to the agendas of your corporate overlords. If you eat too much, it's because corporations make you eat. If you kill, it's because corporations encourage you to buy guns. You are not an individual. You are a social problem. -- Sultan Knish

All politics in this country now is just dress rehearsal for civil war. -- Billy Beck

Extraordinary?

Extraordinary?

Glenn linked to this story with this comment:
I’M PRETTY SURE THAT THIS MEXICAN ARSENAL didn’t come from an American gun shop.
The "anti-aircraft gun" is a Browning M1919 on a tripod - totally unsuitable for use as an "anti-aircraft gun." For that, it would need to be on a pintle mount. There appears to be a 37mm grenade launcher, an AR15 with a long, heavy stainless barrel of the type favored by varmint shooters for long-range accuracy, two bolt-action hunting rifles, and an AK-47-pattern rifle with quite the collection of magazines for it. Can't tell if the AR or the AK are full-auto, but with that barrel I strongly doubt the AR has a rock-n-roll setting.

So, M1919 and grenade launcher aside, you could buy the other four guns in most gun shops here.

Or on a street corner in Manchester, England for that matter.

What's so extraordinary?
