That's a lotta guns

Wow, I agree. That's a lot of guns.

Note the large number of PS90 carbines. Unfortunately, those only could've come from U.S. gun stores.

It'd be cool if they auctioned them off to gun lovers like us. Some of those guns were beautiful (like the 1911 with the pearl grips and stainless finish, and the golden Desert Eagle was good looking) but instead they will likely be melted down. How tragic.

I'd love to keep that golden Desert Eagle as a table piece. I'm sure a lot of law enforcements will want to have a pick at them. Some of these are a better equipement than some police forces.

The gold Desert Eagles aren't that special. Magnum Research offers them as a standard factory finish. It's not like it's some custom job or anything.

Or stolen from a truck bringing them TO U.S. Gun Stores, or stolen or bought from the Mexican Police, who have bought PS90s for training in the past.... (The long barrel and semi auto fire is conducive to training Newbies who want the Five Seven power but want controlled aimed shots)

Have there been any reported robberies of trucks carrying PS90s?

Also, I didn't hear anything about the Mexican police buying PS90s. But surely you concede that there are SOME (not necessarily the majority) guns coming from U.S. gun stores?

If the Mexican have proofs then give us the serial number and not pictures. These show and tell is disgusting. It is use to influence the public opinion without actually getting into facts.

True as this may be, I don't think there's any more convincing evidence that Mexican cartels are manufacturing the weapons, either.

If you see PS90 carbines, a weapon designed specifically for U.S. civilian sales, odds are that it started out at an FFL.
