.this from Borderland Beat News Service,
Since anti gunshow(gunshow loophole) non sense keeps getting thrown around, it may serve us to be aware of this sort of criminal activity, since we can be reasonably certain that gunshows are not the source of these weapons.
Note too that armed conflict in Acuna in the last couple of days has been intense.

Woman Arrested in Eagle Pass Changed with Trafficking AK47's
Acuña, Coahuila. - The Border Patrol Del Rio Sector reported the seizure made on the bridge of Eagle Pass, Texas,(adjacent to Piedras Negras, fourteen AK 47 assault rifles, known as the "goat horn". A Texas woman 52 years of age was arrested carrying the weapons in a hidden compartment of the pickup truck she was driving.
The report issued did not give an exact date of the arrest, but indicated there was a delay as the investigation proceeded. The report was published today in Mexican newspapers. No name was given, and the crime was handled with unusual secrecy.
She was driving a Ford150, and chose an untimely day and time attempting to cross, as customs and border patrol were in a joint operation in the inspection of vehicles, which resulted in the discovery of her clandestine cargo destined for Piedras Negras, Coahuila.
She was arrested and is being detained in the Val Verde County Detention Center awaiting prosecution for weapons trafficking with the intent to traffic them out of the country.
