Yet another Crisis on the Border needing some thinking outside the box of Ammo. I would Propose Building GUN RANGES, complete with HUGE shooting Berms right on the Border in Texas...the Remote parts of the Border, of course. Maybe within faint Hearing distance of a local town (either side)?
I think the U.S. military needs to go back to napalm and flamethrowers against the cartels. Everyone wants to be so cool proposing smart bombs and missiles. But napalm is a gift that keeps on giving.
Wondering if the berms are really necessary. Just a thought. ;)
Rick Perry needs to grow a pa*r. Texas needs to dump Kay Bailey and John Cronyn. Get senators like JD Hayworth.
I like it. But won’t the berms remove one of the disincentives to trying to cross the border illegally?
A whole lot cheaper, too!
I propose building a wide canal between the USA and Mexico linking the Gulf of Mexico with the Pacific Ocean. It will facilitate shipping, give the owners of the land some waterfront property and will become a tourist mecca. Guessing that a wide canal will also be easier to control in terms of drug/people smuggling. Add to that the number of jobs that will be created in the building of said canal, and the jobs that will come from the businesses that spring up along the canal—should be a useful venture.
Is it a huge undertaking? Of course.
hell these people are just trying to earn the money to pay the fines so they can become citizens and get free health care
“But wont the berms remove one of the disincentives to trying to cross the border illegally?”
You’re thinking is “Inside” the Ammo Box, make an adjustment (for the wind). Besides, We would have to call out the Emergency crews too often if we removed the Berms, and the Illegals wouldn’t have Health Coverage (YET).
Maybe Paper Target Outlines with “Sombrero’s” would be a Good idea ?.....remember, think outside the Ammo Box.
OK, so I like your idea too. How about a canal with the gun ranges on our side of it?
Two words: mine fields.
I’m flexible. Gun ranges are fine. Heck, seems to me that there should be a market for such places. I’m thinking target practice, shooting instruction, and whatever it takes to get concealed carry permits all conveniently located.
