The Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio launched its 16th crime and immigration sweep in a stretch of desert in the southwestern U.S.-Mexico border, on Thursday.

Snip ............

Arpaio ordered the deployment of a powerful belt-fed .50 caliber machine gun to be on site during the operation to ensure deputies' safety, as there have been recent reports of violence in the desolate desert areas.

“If anyone shoots at our deputies, they are going to have a problem,” said Arpaio in a news conference in the minutes prior to the sweep.

Just when I think Sheriff Joe can’t do more to impress me, he does!

If any liberals happen to see that pic of the 50-cal machine gun, they will need eyedrops to kill the sting.

A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed.

Notice it does not forbid ANY types nor specified what CAN be used....I thinks one of these every 5 miles should do the trick nicely :)

There should be a superhero franchise about Joe Arpaio.

Before Chuck Norris goes to sleep at night, he looks under his bed for Joe Arpaio.

My hero.....I get tingles up my leg when Joe goes on the prowl. Would like to see a Arpaio/Palin ticket. We need a man with (stones)and Joe tells all the Feds to go pound sand. Unleash the hounds of hell!

[Borax Queen]

That’s fantastic! LOL!

I have his book and even got it autographed (that time when the leftists were hanging him in effigy outside the Tucson bookstore, and yelling and screaming inside the store to drown him out).

Will that be enough to keep out Holder and his goons?

Joe is one of the true heroes in America today. He’s got a job to do and goes to work every day. I love this guy.

[Do Be]

You gotta love this guy. Mothers should read to their boys at night about this great American. Maybe some would grow up to be men.
