Some, no doubt, obtained from the BATF Midnight Rifle and Other Weapons Supply Store in Arizona.

The cache included four mortar shells, two rocket-propelled grenades, dozens of assault rifles, sniper rifles and two bows. ( Alexandre Meneghini / Associated Press ) - Soldiers review a weapons cache that includes 154 rifles and shotguns and over 92,000 rounds of ammunition during a media presentation, in Mexico City, Friday June 3, 2011. Army Gen. Edgar Luis Villegas said Friday the weapons were found in "a subterranean stockpile" at a ranch near the northern city of Monclova this week. Authorities believe the weapons belonged to the Zetas drug cartel. It was found in an underground chamber at a ranch near the industrial city of Monclova in the northern state of Coahuila earlier this week and included more than 4,600 rifle magazines, said Army Gen. Edgar Luis Villegas. He did not specify what day. Villegas said the weapons apparently belonged to the Zetas cartel, which has been fighting the Sinaloa cartel and other drug gangs for control of the border state. The seizure suggests that, despite efforts to crack down on weapons trafficking in Mexico, drug cartels are still able to obtain enough weapons to keep stockpiles in reserve. It was not the first such mass seizure in recent months. In May, soldiers seized 83 assault rifles and shotguns, five grenade launchers and more than 18,000 rounds of ammunition as well as hand grenades and 18 pistols following a confrontation with a 17-vehicle convoy of suspected cartel gunmen in the northern border state of Tamaulipas. In December, soldiers in the northern state of Durango seized a cache of 84 rifles and 46 pistols, including one assault rifle with gold-colored inlays and another that had a grenade-launcher attachment.
