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.

You don’t have to tell me BOB!! I did two tours in 2nd ID LOL!

JSA/DMZ...good times.

[Mich Patriot]

Ha ha ha - I doubt it. That looks like fun...love the old cannon!

That's why when I see this, and they say they want to kill crackers and their babies, it really laughable. They would last about 10 seconds.

BwaaaHaaaHaaaHaaa

Now that is laying down the law....

The tripod is very stable if you put enough sandbags on the legs. The M2s are a blast to shoot either off a vehicle or the tripod.

I love him! Arpaio for president 2012! Seriously...

[Who is John Galt?]

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

I would nominate you, Sir, for the "Post of the Year!"

;>)

Now that is a good idea!

Looks like the bolt assembly is missing. They might want to put that back in if they are expecting trouble.

[fabian]

He could pull Americans together. Let’s draft him.

[abigail2]

Great idea. Congress and the cabinet in pink t shirts. I love the image.

I think Joe needs more firepower. Go with the Mk-19...

Oh, good heavens, no! Go with an M55 quad fifty mount, but mount a pair of M2 .50 calibers as the bottom pair of guns, and a pair of Mk 19s as the top two.

Fire off a few short bursts of .50 to get the range and disable any troublesome vehicles. Then turn on the Bloopers....

As great as this is, I wouldn’t get too cocky just yet - apparently the Zeta have ‘em too, along with RPGs. Wouldn’t be surprised to find them with mortars and grenade launchers either.

Ask an Iraq or Afghani War Vet what it’s like to get hit up side the head with an RPG round while manning a .50. A lot of them you’ll have to ask their surviving Buddies about it as they are not talking any more.

Did you see where the Drug Lords (we assume) set off a car bomb just South of the border recently?

Don’t be surprised if we start seeing more of this sort of thing, along with IEDs, North of our border as well, as Mexican War II escalates.

Islamic Jihaddis, I predict, will start taking a more active role as their alliance with the cartels solidifies.

How long will it be, do you suppose, after Sheriff Joe starts bringing a Ma Deuce to the ball, that the invading Tangoes, given Komrade Holder and Incompetano’s tacit support and protection from Washington DC, start bringing tanks and air support in - with complete impunity from the Federales?

Just a suspicion of course; but I opine that the Regime has every intention of seeing to it that Sheriff Joe will remain significantly out-gunned.

Is that Ma Deuce registered with the BATFE?
If not look for them to go down there and seize it.

“It’s just not FAAAAAaaaaairrr!” the moonbats and LaRAZA Reconquistadore’s (Like SCOTUS Injustice Sotomayor) will whine to the US Dept. of Injustice.

I don’t think that non-Federal Law Enforcement gets the same dispensation for full auto weapons as the military does, do they? Maybe it’s a semi auto version so they can possess it legally.

Could anyone out there who knows please advise?

Wouldn’t the Regime just love to stuff Sheriff Joe into Ramos or Compean’s old solitary cell in Federal Prison for about 20 years for possession of an unregistered machine gun?

That would make the Emperor’s day, I’m sure.
