Governor Brewer should call up the militia to repel this invasion.

Limit the call-up to only veterans and require them to bring their own rifles and at least 100 rounds of ammunition each. The state will need to work out some kind of pay arrangement.

The Founders frowned on standing armies, but made provisions for each state to provide for its own defense. Arizona needs to invoke that age-old privilege.

A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained in arms, is the best most natural defense of a free country.

Damn right. Set them back two hundred yards from the border
and have them cut down on any thing coming from the Mexican
side. It won’t take long.

BS on just veterans getting the call.
I did 4 years with TDC. (Now TCJC)
I know how to take & follw orders.
Which caliber do you prefer?
5.56 or 7.62?
Is 1k of rounds enough for starters,
or should I bring more? :-)
