Im wondering what the best firearms for Border Agents would be. Should be getting some shortly.

The best firearm is the one you are allowed to use. Rocks and blocks of concrete are deadly weapons. Border Patrol should be allowed (encouraged?) to respond to deadly force with deadly force. Those apprehended without resisting should be returned to their home countries immediately. Those who use deadly force should receive a quick Christian burial.

The truth was buried under the headline.

They claim rocks were thrown but in fact, in the body of the story, they more accurately say "chunks of concrete".

My wife's vehicle had windshields destroyed and major damage done by 60-80 pound slabs of concrete dropped or catapaulted on the vehicle from yards deep into mexico. More that a few agents have been severly injured and even permanently disabled from being hit by "rocks". BTW their vehicles have now been hardened with slat deflectors in the glass areas.

I always get frosted when the LSM talks about rocks like they are pelting the agents with pebbles. The ROEs for self defense are very restrictive. The higher ups in the DOJ value illegal alien criminal health and wellbeing above that of our own Border Patrol Agents (they are not border "guards").

They currently carry HK P2000s, which is basically a USP compact that lawyers redesigned by committee. They also have a mix of M4s and shotguns. Lots of BP M4s are in bad shape due to poor maintenance habits and not having one per agent. On the non-lethal side they have pepper ball launchers and a few 40mm grenade launchers for less lethal rounds.

The lawyers and DHS told BP agents a couple years ago that they had a responsibility to try to retreat when being "rocked." The Mexicans get all upset when BP shoots people throwing big rocks and blocks of concrete at them.
