Yeah well the RPG and "armoured" vehicle (note shit spelling) are more evidence of how Americas slack gun laws are arming the drug gangs...

How do you jump to the conclusion, that Americas slack gun laws are arming drug gangs, This was in Mexico,

Armored cars are not uncommon, long arms and handguns are controlled, but allowed to licensed owners.
Mexico, has a very high crime rate, corrupt official's, police and legal system, very high murder rate, low crime report rate, the average Mexican does not trust police and justice system, murder of officials' and media that cant be bought, is common,
and has been in a low level war, against criminal gangs, and drug cartels for a decade or more.
You can get anything you want, if you can afford to pay.
I would consider 8 rifles, a handgun and a rpg to be very low armament, for one of the biggest cartel boss to be caught with. especial with elite Mexican Federal forces, hunting him.
The most common RPG's would be Russian,
