Two things come to mind. This is the result of a lack of a second amendment and I need more ammo.

Our founders were way smarter then most give them credit for. Our constitution is a thing of beauty.

I have so much respect for the Curagous Civilians standing-up like this in Mexico. I agree with the OP about the 2nd A coment. In the main, taking individual rights away and giving the goverment more power generally leads to a degredated society one way or another. The Nazis, Cambodia, Mexico, the list is long and throughout history...This is what it is going to have to come to in our Chicago, Good-Civilians are going to have to ban together and defend themselves with guns (there was a fantastic article in this month's NRA-Magazine where the "Decon's", Black Men of the South did just this to protect their famillies against the KKK, where the local governments wouldn't). Of course, under Chicago Law they will be arrested even as the gangs have their way. The quintessential Liberal-Hell-Whole run by Rahm Emanual (need I say more). It is so sad to see what those people in Chicago are going through, the children. It is an abomination and DISCRACE that in the USA, street-gangs and drug-thugs control the streets. So much for relying on government to protect you.

 

Sandly, our great country of America is slowly slipping away, and at a key-point now, not only with Gun-Rights (which for now Nationally, the Lefties are at bay), but also another very important issue, Obama care...

 

Folks may not realize it but having the Government contol health-care is right up there with Gun-Control in importance for the long-term freedoms of this country...As a person who has overcome cancer, and live through the decision and choices in managing my health care, I can tell you, the last thing you want is the government to make life and death health care decisions for you (or make it harder to get the care YOU want). -So please fight ObamaCare with all the dedication you have fought Gun-Control.

That mag with packing tape works?

I couldn't imagine someone coming to my door saying they were coming back for my daughter. No friggin way

That mag with packing tape works?

Unless I missed another picture, the mags look taped together to me.  I'd have overlapped the mags a bit more personally...

 

It's certainly a disturbing article, and I cannot imagine going through a day of that, let alone everything being a daily occurrence...

These civilians are at the point where they have nothing to lose. They are standing and fighting. Much respect is due them.

 

Instead of sending the cruise missiles to Syria, a civil war, why doesn’t Obama send some real help to the Mexican Civilians - a much, much, more potent war of atrocities, IMHO? And, more important to the USA national security. This abomination will continue to spill over across our boarders in a big way.

Yeah that's what I was asking. You can tape together mags like that? Who knew.

Yeah that I'll be taking your wife and daughter make sure they are showered thing would not go over to well. You can only pull that stuff where you know the other side is not packing.

There was an old interview with one of the last noted cowboys/trail driver. He said that gang of tough guys taking over a small town would have lasted at best to the first night before they met the old double barreled shotgun.

Well, I'm pretty sure the Mexican government would object. IF we were to do that, we should pretty much expect to end up conquering/annexing Mexico. I'm sure we COULD do that pretty easily, but then we would be stuck with all of Mexico's problems, and a population which we still don't want but couldn't really call illegal immigrants anymore. In the end, what does Mexico really have to offer us? Perhaps we could build a crap ton of nuclear reactors in one end of the Mexican desert, and store all of our nuclear waste on the other end?

 

I suppose it would be an acceptable trade off, being flooded with a bunch of Mexican refugees, in exchange for solving our NIMBY energy issues. It would be hard for the tree huggers to protest a nuke plant in the middle of nowhere.

We have invaded Mexico several times to protect our citizens and remind them to keep there house in order. We did not accept refugees then nor should we now.

I think we already are

right- I'd have one answer for them.. joe biden style through the door, BOOM!

The way they taped the mags is probably the least of their worries.

You just work with what you got.

We end our drug war, decriminalize drugs, allow them to be freely available, and you will see our violent crime rate drop as well as Mexico getting a hell of a lot better. Treat drug use as a public health issue. Not a criminal one. Enough with the SWAT invading homes because of "drugs". friggin ridiculous.

 

EDIT: I like how the Mexican government says these civilian fighters are actually part of the cartels, when in reality most of the government is probably corrupt as all hell. I don't trust anything that drivels out of a politicians mouth in general, let alone one from the hell hole that is Mexico.

 

Another bonus, we end drug war, mexico gets better, mexicans less likely to try and leave for America, thus alleviating our illegal immigrant problem.

 

Too bad our politicians are too thick, ignorant, or literally evil to do so.

RE: Your Edit: Like many governments, looks like the Mexican gov't wants a "monopoly" on the ability to be violent...You know the old story: "You are not alowed to protect yourself; (and shush, we can't protect anyone either)."

That is an amazing video.

Sooo about that border fence...
