That wall won't stop them

Authorities in the Mexican state of Sonora, bordering the US, have captured a van-mounted bazooka-like cannon used to propel packages of drugs across the border.

The Mexican Attorney General's Office Sonora branch seized the ingenuous contraption in a joint operation with military personnel near the town of Agua Prieta, right across the border from Douglas, Arizona.

Some 'ammunition' for the gun was captured as well.

In September 2016, another air cannon, with a 10-foot (about 3-meter) pipe mounted on a van with a specially-cut hole in its roof was seized in Agua Prieta. That launcher had the capacity to send bundles weighing about 27kg (60lbs) flying across the border fence.

Other intricate methods employed by smugglers over the years have included secret tunnels, light aircraft and medieval-style catapults, not to mention stuffing drugs in innocuous-looking things like watermelons, wheelchairs and even breast implants.

Were they being worn at the time?

Also, another year of Trump and we're all going to need 'ammunition'.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
