This is one of the arguments for building your own firearms. Granted you can not legally transfer (sell) the firearm, but it does remove any of the federal controls as long as the firearm does not cross state lines.
The title says that he is a Border “soldier”. He appears to be a member of some self named militia group and therefore is not a soldier.
28 years after a burglary, he is still a convicted felon and not allowed to own a firearm. Absent other offenses, that is extreme.

“...It is a highly politicized and closely watched development in border disputes between the Obama Administration and certain states in deep conflict with current federal enforcement methods regarding illegal immigration.
For several months, he and other volunteer militiamen patrolled a brushy area of the Rio Grande in the Southmost neighborhood of this city located outside the border fence near the airport. It is a stretch of river ox-bows heavily trafficked by drug, money laundering and human trafficking smugglers.
Operating out of a headquarters at a tiny 21-acre riverside farm owned by Rusty Monsees, Massey and his band of at most a half dozen armed men tagged “Rusty’s Rangers” were on patrol at the Sabal Palms Sanctuary, a historic plantation operated by the Audobon Society as a bird preserve, when Border Patrol Agents at first gave their permission to escort them in their efforts to stop a mass crossing of illegal immigrants....”

I guess the Defenders of Statists who Shoot Down American Citizens have arrived here to badmouth someone who is participating in doing something (i.e., Defend the American Border) that the Obama regime statists refuse to do.
