Stand with Arizona
The border is "safer than ever". So says DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. Again and again.
Barack Obama has mocked those who say the border is unsafe: "Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied."
But for Texas ranchers in the Rio Grande Valley, the border has never been more dangerous. And they are stocking up with the hardware to do the job that the Feds refuse to do - AK47 rifles to defend their property and lives from border violence.
Barbed wire fencing doesn't keep illegal aliens off the property anymore. One Starr County, TX rancher doesn't have time to worry about the illegals these days. He now worries about the smugglers protecting their loads.
"I don't think they would have any conscience of taking someone's life," the rancher says.
He saw that will to kill firsthand. A smuggler shot at him on his own land.
"One round was fired at me, and it missed my head by about two feet," says the rancher.
He says there's only way to react.
"Fire all the rounds you have, reload, and do it again," says the rancher.
The local Armory Gun Store says business has been brisk for AK-47s and AR-15s from "countless" ranchers reporting break-ins and home invasions. But this rancher said no matter how many guns they buy, they will always be "outgunned" by the cartels.
I guess these ranchers didn't get the memo from Obama and Big Sis that their border is "safer than ever".
What will they want next....a moat?

The females ones do it all the time.. and they can shoot even better than the men in many cases.
It was at least that much about 20 years ago, I believe, per gun, per year. I’ve never had one, so I’m just going by what I read. But in the current situation on the border, If I was committed to staying there, I am almost certain that I would have one. I don’t think that that fee applies to Law enforcement departments.
Payload is around 400 gallons, so you'd have dilute somewhat. :)
I load basically hunting and target rounds in 280 Rem, 308 Win and 300 Win Mag. I use all three when on my annual “out west” excursions for elk, mule deer and antelope.
If we start to get too many “muzzies” with bad intentions for the rest of Americans, guess I can use the other 1000 rounds (the ones with the pig fat lube), I’ll need even more “Soul Takers” and I won’t following our current “rules of engagement” by letting them shoot first and fire only when fired upon. (That rule is really stupid).
