Maybe NATO would like to throw in with us in this fight.

Thanks for the ping! It is getting to the point where these open hostilities need to be met with ever increasing superior firepower and less politics. I can think of no other nation on earth that would put up with this crap.

Got a call from my Dad a little while ago...He got an email from his girlfriends son who is a DPS trooper (flight officer) who was in on the party there this morning...Not too many details yet...But the firefight was pretty intense in his opinion...

I have a good feeling that thigns are getting more and more out of control if things like this are starting to happen with increased proclivity and ferociousness...

The recent supoena;s Congressmand Issa is about to issue for the ATF’s failed “Gunwalker” program is going to blacken a lot of eyes of those knuckleheads who armed up the cartels recently...And had the gall to blame civilian purchases and gunstore venues for the firearms getting into Mexico...

I honesly see a DMZ type solution to be the ony way to get this under control, if it can be allowed to work...

You miss the point here. The reason the Obama Administration started Gunrunner was so the could blame civilian purchases and gun store venues for the firearms getting into Mexico.

Remember that last year there was a big media push by the Obama Administration on a parallel effort to impose new gun control measures using pretext that US gun stores were selling guns to gun runners who supplying them to drug cartels to fuel the violence in Mexico.

In reality, we now find that American gun store owners were actually alerting the BATF and the Justice department to the fact that the gun store owners thought that the buyers were illegally purchasing the guns, perhaps to smuggle them into Mexico for illegal purposes.

The BATF instructed the guns stores to sell the guns despite the objections of the gun store owners.
