An example of the diamond studded gun similar to Valencia's

Policemen in Mexico found diamond studded guns which put their own weapons to shame. The gold and silver plated handguns which were studded with diamonds were found during a basement raid. The guns are said to belong to the Mexican drug lord, Orlando Nava Valencia because they were engraved with the name “Lobo Valencia”.

Police also found ammunition, rifles and marijuana during their raid, but nothing compared to the sparkling hand guns. AS far as Mexican drug lords are concerned, Valencia is said to be a main man for the most wanted Mexican drug lord, Joaquin Guzman. The cartel that Valencia belongs to was reported to have made $25 billion last year but many suggest that is an underestimate.

The Mexican drug lords and their cartels have been scattered across the news lately as U.S. Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has brought the issue to the front and center of the media over the last year. Although finding Valencia’s collection of diamond studded hand guns is a far cry from arresting the owner of the guns, it is a step in the right direction. Clearly this man is using the dirty money he makes and those diamonds might be better suited for an owner living within the law.
