Big cartel fight coming, that is for sure, and the ‘losers’ will flood north and the winners will, too.
Not sure if it’s that bad, but Texas has it’s own problems with violence across the border.
“.223 which is less than half the size of a .50 BMG.”
Should I laugh or cry? To illustrate the difference between these state the difference in mass—the 50 cal is 10x’s more massive. Or one can talk about penetration, where the 50 can pass through 6 residential homes before running out of gas.
As long as its drug punks, it’s a good report.....!

Former 35D/35E and MICCC grad from Fort Huachuca. Sad. Very pretty in Sierra Vista. Had breakfest at Cafe Ole with Sandrat once.
Must be the .50 caliber show loophole.
Exactly what zero & justus want to happen.
Then the defecation will really engage the rotary object.
2 x M-16 = 1 x M-2...?
I’ll have to remember that...!!
A naked muslim stuck in a Jersey municipal water treatment pipe one week, this South of the Border fun the next to add to the growing list from all the weeks prior.
Probably just coincidental, but when I look at these events with my frequently intermittent 20/20 hindsight glasses, these things all look similar somehow. Hmmmm...
Great...now that CCR song about a bad moon risin' won't stop replaying in my head. Always something...
Smells like BS
As usual, WND is a day late and a dollar short.
The gun battle took place in Agua Prieta, across the border from Douglas, AZ and over 50 miles from Ft. Huachuca.
The Post boundary does not abut the border, even though we have illegals crossing through the Post routinely on their trek northward.
The soldiers here are trained on more than just the M-16, thank you very much.
And the Cochise County Sheriff’s Office has already taken steps to guard against a spill-over of this violence.
For those who care, check out last week’s thread on this topic. It’s in the Arizona sidebar and is on the ‘aliens’ keyword search page.
Well, maybe a .223 cal is "less then half the size", but the "comparison" ends right there...
.223cal/5.56mm - 2960 fps (14" barrel M-4, 55 grain bullet) = 1,070 ft/lbs muzzle energy
.50 cal - 3155 fps (24" barrel, 650 grain bullet) = 14,367 ft/lbs muzzle energy
The first one will make a hole in your leg, the other one will take your entire leg off.
Somehow or other, those intel folks at Ft. Huachuca (with basic training) seem a bit outgunned?
I am not saying at some point this might not get closer to Ft Huachuca, but now it is 50 miles away in and/or near Agua Prieta, Mexico.
As this continues, smuggling routes near Douglas that are already very bad areas will get worse with smugglers likely attacking smugglers from a different cartel. Ft Huachuca is more likely to experience some of these incidents than the main shootout that has been going on in Agua Prieta.
There's your national security for you.
