#1 Still calling them gangs instead of insurgents?

Our stupid drug laws created the money to make these people.

#2 It may have created them, but now they have become full time banditos of the old school. Villistas. But in this case, it is only a matter of time before they start stockpiling military weapons, even armored vehicles.

#3 Border mess = the new WOT war against man-made disasters? Hey, wait a minute, that last description could apply to some large bureaucracies too.

#4 But in this case, it is only a matter of time before they start stockpiling military weapons, even armored vehicles.

MS-13 have come across the border wearing body armor, with night vision equipment and by report a few 50 cal weapons. That was a few years ago.

The Zetas are known to have used grenade launchers, 50 cals, kevlar body armor, helicopters and reportedly wiretapping equipment too.

I'd say we're already there.
