Whenever there is a conversation about the most popular items on the PW Classifieds, it invariably comes up as automotives, all terrain vehicles, and firearms. Much of the PW Classifieds vistors are from rural areas, as are pretty much all of the people who have been employed by Pennswoods.net over the years. Atlantic Broadband may have the occasional city dweller, but there are still plenty of us comfortable on the trap field hollering “PULL!”. So yes, we have an interest in ways to get from getting around in an area where bus runs are few and far between, in areas where the quickest route to sanity involves a 4′ wide trail through the forest, and in firearms.

I’m curious how many are aware of the ‘Project Gunrunners’ story that has been quietly growing for the last few months. I’ve heard a lot of noise in the last couple years about US firearms showing up in the hands of Mexican drug cartels. Now I’m not quite clear on what a drug cartel with access to full auto weapons needs with a beat up Winchester 94. Have you checked out the selection of Uzis at your local retailer lately? I didn’t think so. But apparently there is some truth to US firearms crossing the border into Mexico, despite the ATF being alerted.
CBS ran essentially the same story as the above link to the Tucson Citizen.

There is also a follow up from the Tucson Citizen. For more information, you might want to follow David Codrea, the fellow who broke this story.

Thanks,
