CNS: Mexican drug smugglers have turned to propelling their products across the border into the U.S., but will these devices be able to surmount Pres. Trump’s planned border wall?
On Feb. 10, Tucson, Ariz. border patrol agents noticed several people on the south side quickly retreating from the fence as they approached. When agents arrived at the fence, they found a catapult system attached to the south side of the border fence. They searched the area and located two bundles of marijuana.
Agents contacted law enforcement authorities in Mexico who responded to investigate. U.S. Border Patrol agents dismantled the catapult system, which was seized by Mexican authorities. Border Patrol agents took possession of the marijuana that weighed more than 47 pounds combined.
Last December, Border Patrol agents used multi-surveillance capabilities to catch smugglers using an air cannon to shoot a 34 pound bundle of drugs over the border from Mexico into Naco, Arizona.
Where i come from skoking a joit is called fireing off a cannon

Drugs first people next. When will the madness end.
Obviously one of those clowns just recently got his hands on a copy of Monty Pythons Holy Grail.

This crap has been getting worse. since the day Obummer was elected.
Here in San Diego, Drones aren’t a new thing for drugs. First they fly a Scout to check for BP, and then the Drugs come in.
The border patrol could make a much more effective use of manpower if they used drones to surveil the border area from altitude, at least 8,000 feet. Regular camera by day
, lower altitude and FLIR at night.
Just a thought.
If the Mexican government can’t get this under control our Armed Forces can. If it’s a war on drugs let’s fight it like a war.
Let’s see, we already have tunnels, cannons, and catapults to defeat the Wall. Next up will be drones, kites, and hot air balloons.
And then there’s this:

Looks like the only thing left to do is to invade Mexico and put an end to this once and for all.
🙂
Drones and long term, well hidden, snipers.
“Shotgun mics” to listen for the drones wouldn’t hurt.
ok … got a new business idea from Uncle Molon
better than skeet or trap! …. live televised event! drug drone, hot-air balloon, catapult competition!
we could advertise in National Rifleman & other sites … offer prizes … it’ll be a blast! (pardon the pun)
Perfect solution: anyone caught catapulting drugs into our country gets catapulted back into Mexico. Like, 800 yards in.
It’s funny, but those are the same mechanisms I wanted to employ for repatriation of the 40 million illegal aliens in the USA of Mexican origin.
Sounds like Wile E. Coyote and ACME moved to the southern border.
Excellent idea, in a general sort of way.
Perhaps a few hundred trebuchet’s on the US side of the border could be hurling invaders back across the border? We could aim for drug smugglers . . .
@ironyCurtain: Anyone caught catapulting drugs into our country is already going to be in Mexico. You’d have to cross over the border, run them down, drag them over to the U.S., and then catapult them back. Or maybe catapult them over to the U.S. and then catapult them back. Either way it constitutes an illegal incursion into Mexico, and things would probably get real ugly real fast.
But then you were just joking, right?
Right…?
apparently Wile E Coyote is alive and well in Mexico.
