PHOENIX — The only problem with the story is it is not true, well 80% not true. There was a raid, people were captured. George Iknadosian. George did sale 700 guns over 18 months but not to Mexicans, to American citizens for personal defense. Now if the drug gangs have to set up staw buyers one at a time to go into stores like X-caliber guns to buy guns,were are they getting them buy the 10 of thousands?? The drug lords gun of choice is the AK-47???
The Mexican agents who moved in on a safe house full of drug dealers last May were not prepared for the fire power that greeted them.
When the shooting was over, eight agents were dead. Among the guns the police recovered was an assault rifle traced back across the border to a dingy gun store here called X-Caliber Guns.
Now, the owner, George Iknadosian, will go on trial on charges he sold hundreds of weapons, mostly AK-47 rifles, to smugglers, knowing they would send them to a drug cartel in the western state of Sinaloa. The guns helped fuel the gang warfare in which more than 6,000 Mexicans died last year.
