Like I may have quoted elsewhere! Drug dealers and guns seem to go together, more so for their own protection of themselves and mainly of the goods that they choose to deal. You don't hear (has of now) weaponry used against the authorities whom would be making their arrest.
That is also a good thing that people who are involved with the illegal trade of drugs are not harming innocent people (bystanders and authorities) by the means of the types of firepower shown in this arrest. Only harm taking place is made by the sale of the illegal drugs sold, and that of the people who use them. But! Here is a question about the such drug above (crystal math) its use and effects of the drug. Again we read many articles about it's users causing harm to themselves and others due to the effects of the drug taken. Some crimes that are reported by the persons who become dependent on this type of drug are unthinkable to the normal person. But the drug dealers carry arms and are more than likely to be high on the drug itself, but have control over their actions, such has not reacting to the (crazy drug) and firing their weapons at arresting police officers, So the question is - is it self control over the drug for some, and the on other hand is it a loss of control for them who do harm, ether way the users show that they can control themselves over the so called crazy drug, and others cannot. Or is the latter that of an excuse or myth of the drug in question?

I totally agree with everything you said I would never mess with that stuff for two reasons. One, you are totally hooked on first use. And secondly, it be a gateway drug. And that so called home made gun with the red and black electrical tape on the pistol grip. The most likely outcome of firing that POS would be for the shooter to have the fingers of both hands blown clean off.

No one has been totally addicted to any drug ever after using it once.

I didn't see where it was called a hand-made gun, it doesn't look like one. It looks sort of stumpy in one shot but in the group shot it looks normal size. The rounds don't look like 7.62 though. I'd guess it's a Type 56 or something.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Probably the sleep deprivation rather then the drug that's the problem.

Is it just me, or does anyone else find it weird that no one ever has a full clip? Is it really easier to get an ak/SIG/ whatever than a full mag?
Those do look like 7.62×39 to me
up to you...
