AZMEX EXTRA 27 OCT 2012

Note: Ongoing problem throughout rural Mexico. Expected to take on
very well financed and armed cartels with revolver? Ammunition
supply is another large problem. Sanity dictates the honest cops
head for the hills, and the small towns are overrun. But then if
Mexican citizens could be once again armed, they help could defend
their homes and towns.

Hermosillo, Sonora (PH)
The smallest municipalities of the state do not have the support of
Subsemun, required for modernized armament a basic change from
revolver to semiautomatic pistol, said Ernesto Munro Palacio.

In Sonora municipalities with the Safety Grant Municipalities
(Subsemun) are Hermosillo (with 130 million a year), Ciudad Obregón
(30 million), San Luis Rio Colorado, Puerto Peñasco, Caborca,
Nogales, Agua Prieta, Navojoa and Guaymas (10 million each) who have
more advanced in weaponry against crime.

"They need weapons especially smaller ones, need to modernize, we
need to change from a revolver to a semiautomatic pistol with two
magazines, something more modern, but not the case of large cities,
or those with Subsemun.

"They do use automatic pistols and have automatic and semiautomatic
rifles, but the small municipalities of up to 600 inhabitants do
need more modern weapons and gradually we will be gaining," he
explained.

The largest municipalities are kept investing in weapons, said Munro,
and also invested in technology.

"On the other hand we also Fund Contributions for Public Safety are
committed to supporting municipalities, especially those with
Subsemun up to 20% of the resources we receive from the Federation,"
he said.

Among the most preferred support by municipalities are vehicles,
because when working the 24-hours, cars wear out, but they can also
deliver body armor, ammunition and weapons.



Note: could this one be why?

residences of the sector.

looked into one of the windows of the van, saw several rifles, so
they proceeded to open the unit, making the discovery of more than
five assault rifles, in mostly AK-47, cylindrical or drum magazines,
pouches, several body armor, at least two fragmentation grenades,
marijuana residue, black uniforms with emblems of the national flag,
