Now you've got two javelins.
You hit the Mars bar vehicle, right?
This is capitalism in action.
And then let's return to Arizona where normal things happen.
Also in Arizona, a grand jury has indicted a man for material support for a foreign terrorist organization after he allegedly sold weapons that he intended to provide to the CJND and CDS, Cartel Jalisco Nueva Generacion,
and Cartel de Sinaloa, so two of the larger Mexican cartels, right?
These are two groups that were listed as FTOs by the Trump administration very early on last year.
Lawrence Gray, 65, was a federal firearms licensee.
He owned a shop called Grips by Larry.
He sold fancy grips for 1911s.
He was already facing a raft of weapons charges after selling a .50 caliber Barrett,
a semi-auto belt-fed and, of course, a .38 Super 1911 pistol to a confidential informant.
The .38 Super 1911 pistol, the reason I say of course is because any time people get busted for illegal weapon sales in the Southwest...
There always seems to be a 38 Super 1911 involved.
They're very much like a status gun in organized crime in Mexico because certain calibers are less available there.
The 38 Super is pretty much uniquely associated with that market.
It always seems that that pops up in busts.
And he was selling fancy grips, some of which had symbology, which sometimes is used by organized crime groups in Mexico.
Anyway, this is the first time I've seen a material support for terrorism charge for one of these cartels that were recently designated as FTOs.
So that was interesting to me.
