One picture captions the men bearing rifles as “wielding heavy machine guns”. Can’t fool those British types.

Any coverage in the US? I guess not. Since the “almighty” feds won’t do it, real men step up.

Patrol: The Arizona Border Recon guard the US-Mexico border, dressed in camouflage gear and wielding heavy machine guns

Yep. Heavy machine guns they are. What they did not say was that two of the heavy machine guns pictured are actually hand-carried Bofors 40 mm pom-pom guns.

They’ll call the border patrol or local authorities who will catch and release. Into your neighborhood.

The volunteers are called vigilantes and hate groups by the American LSM. We live three miles from the border. They are Patriots doing what the government is sworn to do...but doesn’t.

Political correctness will be the death of us.

Three miles? Stay safe.

I'm in the Texas Hill Country now- not too close to the border.

Haven’t heard anything out of the Minutemen in a long time. Are they still at the border?

Like US press they don’t have a clue when it comes to rifles.

They would not know a machine gun if it ate them.

To US press, everything is an AK47.

Nuts.

My father was an Armourer during WWII. He worked on Quad 50’s and Bofors. Some of the Bofors were anti-tank weapons.
