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...

This is a great book on the subject by a former Army Lt. Col. who’s career involved war strategic planning.

http://www.amazon.com/Provide-Common-Defence-Christopher-Hatley/dp/0981721400
This book is different than many on the market because it outlines solutions for many policies that are allowing our enemies to exploit our nation because we are not securing our border with Mexico. This product defines the threats coming to America since our southern border is not protected. There are enormous costs to American taxpayers resulting from the government’s inaction on this problem. The author takes the reader through the military’s war planning steps, called the military decision-making process, so the reader can see the analysis that leads to the author’s conclusions and recommendations. These recommendations are then formulated into a detailed, comprehensive plan of action for the United States to implement. If the U.S. implements the plan, the problems on America’s southern border with Mexico would end permanently
Lt.Col. (U.S. Army, ret.) Christopher Hatley is a graduate of the United States Military Academy at West Point, the Command and General Staff College and the Air Warfare Center. A twenty-seven-year veteran of the United States Army, he taught military decision-making processes to officers and enlisted personnel at the Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, Kansas, the Field Artillery School at Fort Sill, Oklahoma, and the Air Warfare Center at Nellis Air Force Base, Nevada.

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.
