Well, it does happen

Ok .... it does happen, but not like they say:

A Houston windshield repairman has admitted to helping manage a part of a broader conspiracy to traffic more than 300 military-style weapons across the border, part of a plea deal requiring him to tell federal agents about the ring that supplied weapons to Mexico's fearsome Zetas drug cartel.

Now, I've got a few bones to pick about all this Zeta crap. The true Zetas were soldiers from Mexico, and were specially trained at Ft Bragg(?) at the College of the Americas. They went back to Mejico and some went to the highest bidder - drug cartels. So all the 'Zetas' aren't really Zetas.

But the ones who are Zetas can surely get hold of real weaponry - select-fire rifles, light and heavy machine guns, even explosives.

So much crap ..... so little time.
