Mexican Cartel Leader arrested for Mormon Murders

It doesn't look like the ban on guns has made Mexico much safer, at least not for law biding people.

Mexican authorities announced the arrest of four suspects in connection with their alleged roles in the high-profile attack that killed nine women and children from a Mormon U.S. family last month in Sonora. One was identified as the regional leader for the “La Linea” faction of the Juarez Cartel.

Mexico’s Attorney General’s Office (FGR) made the announcement on Sunday afternoon as international pressure mounts over the massacre. A man identified only as “Mario H.” or “El Mayo” from the Juarez Cartel (not to be mistaken for Ismael “El Mayo” Zambada from the Sinaloa Cartel) was named as the individual largely responsible for the November 4 attack where a group of cartel gunmen ambushed and murdered nine women and children as they drove toward the U.S.-Mexico Border destined for Phoenix, Arizona.

The arrest of El Mayo and two other men took place in a series of raids, the statement revealed. Those arrests followed the capture of another gunman in November who reportedly gave “more information about the individuals involved.” Mexican authorities have not released any information about the identity of the other suspects or the details on their arrests.

Mexican authorities say the attack on the LeBaron family was a case of mistaken identity since cartel gunmen mistook the family’s SUVs for a rival convoy. The severity of the case indicates an apparent lack of control over Mexico’s highways. Prior to the LeBaron incident, La Linea carried out attacks on towns controlled by factions of the Sinaloa Cartel in the same border state. La Linea had deployed gunmen throughout their turf, expecting a similar incursion from rivals.

Lack of gun regulations has sure worked out well for the safety of the law abiding people of Yemen.

I wonder to what extent US pressure was involved (if any). Either way, hopefully these turds don't escape justice, and continue to name names.

Guns aren't banned in Mexico.

The cartels buy their illegal guns from the US.

US citizens buy illegal drugs from the cartels.

How are you just now learning about Obama's fast/furious program?

How is it that you think they weren't buying guns from the US before Obama was president?

By the way, "gunwalking" was an ATF policy in 2006. Who was president then?

Uhh, and here I thought this was about how good it was that the murderers were caught.

From wikipedia

where most types and calibers are reserved to military and law enforcement, the acquisition and ownership of certain firearms and ammunition remains a constitutional right to all Mexican citizens and foreign legal residents

I guess you're right. Could this family technically have gotten firearms to protect themselves. It looked like they had dual citizenship in the US and Mexico?

Even so, I'd feel pretty helpless going on vacation in Mexico. Every criminal would know I wasn't carrying a gun and ripe for robbing.

You are right! Mexico needs less gun control, but the US needs more gun control. Gun control doesn't work in Mexico because there is a lot of corruption.

Would it be reasonable to say that gun control doesn't work in Chicago because there is a lot of corruption?

You tell me. Is there a lot of corruption in Chicago?
