"Having a shootout with a Park Ranger is no way to promote 2nd Amendment rights. "

Fortunately, most 2nd Amendment advocates would not have that shootout, either. Neither, I suspect, would Dead Corpse. At least these AZ folks are out trying to get some action on the illegal immigrant problem. That's their battle, and they're certainly getting some attention.

By being smart, they're succeeding in bringing the problem into focus, and are getting national mainstream press coverage. Of course, having a shootout with a National Park Ranger would probably get significant coverage, too, but perhaps not the kind they want.

Now, if Dead Corpse is out there on the front lines of this or any other battle, I'd like to hear about it.

[Dead Corpse]

Why would a shoot-out have been necessitated? She drew on them. Most criminals will back down if you put up resistance. Two of them, one of her.

Easy math. If the REAL gendarmes had wanted to take issue with it later, then fine... get legal counsel after they had gone through a judge to get a warrent.

My opinion of the loudmouths on this board who talk trash like that is that most fall into one of the following categories:

• Talk big, act small--when the JBTs come to take their guns, they'll be (at best) very subservient to the JBTs, at worst they'll be in the fetal position, peeing their pants;
• Undercover informant looking to get a hard-of-thinking Freeper into trouble;
• Someone play-acting at being a "real conservative" to paint conservatives as potentially violent nutcases

But that's just my opinion...
