Why the heck would they want a semi-auto AK when the real ones are probably cheaper there?

The vast majority of the heavy stuff comes from places in the article or drug cartels like the Mexican Army and their national police. Mexico is one country where the police are definitely not your friend.

There's one source of high power stuff that they also don't like to mention - the US military. Since they've relaxed some of the rules for enlisting some less than patriotic types, like gang members have joined. I'm sure a GI can make some big bucks by making a car load of weapons disappear.

All though this has been proven a couple times by a few guys getting busted for trying to cross the border. My guess is that this is less than a single percent of the total amount of weapons found in the cartel's possession.

Our government has made multi million dollar deals with both Mexican law enforcement and military. When a Mexican Police officer makes about $500 a month its real easy to turn them to the other side taking their firearms with them for a little more money.
