Texas Ranchers Using AK47s to Defend Against Cartel Invaders
Stand With Arizona ^ | 01-23-2012 | John Hill

Stand with Arizona

The border is "safer than ever". So says DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. Again and again.

Barack Obama has mocked those who say the border is unsafe: "Maybe they'll need a moat. Maybe they'll want alligators in the moat. They'll never be satisfied."

But for Texas ranchers in the Rio Grande Valley, the border has never been more dangerous. And they are stocking up with the hardware to do the job that the Feds refuse to do - AK47 rifles to defend their property and lives from border violence.

Barbed wire fencing doesn't keep illegal aliens off the property anymore. One Starr County, TX rancher doesn't have time to worry about the illegals these days. He now worries about the smugglers protecting their loads.

"I don't think they would have any conscience of taking someone's life," the rancher says.

He saw that will to kill firsthand. A smuggler shot at him on his own land.

"One round was fired at me, and it missed my head by about two feet," says the rancher.

He says there's only way to react.

"Fire all the rounds you have, reload, and do it again," says the rancher.

The local Armory Gun Store says business has been brisk for AK-47s and AR-15s from "countless" ranchers reporting break-ins and home invasions. But this rancher said no matter how many guns they buy, they will always be "outgunned" by the cartels.

I guess these ranchers didn't get the memo from Obama and Big Sis that their border is "safer than ever".

What will they want next....a moat?

Yes, it’s true. I am. It is a shame that I tried to keep hidden, yet my effort was all for naught. Many a night I would type my screeds on FR, shaking with fear that one day...some way, I would slip and the ugly truth would be exposed. (and trust me, no one wants to se me ‘exposed’)

You have looked deep into my soul andI stand here shamed and naked, Laz. See my tagline.

But would you hit me?

With a chair? In the face? ;)

I’m TOTALLY wishing I weren’t.

It would be a nice little way to instill some ‘terror’ of our own against the jihadis and those longing to become one.

Imagine CAIR on TV screaming about ‘racist bullets’ and the mediaots out there 24/7 arguing that “Soul Takers” were an ‘offensive’ bullet and demanding that people stop making them due to cultural sensitivities.

As whacked out as today’s society is, watch some staffer at CNN see this thread and make us all famous. Or infamous racist islamophobic bigots. One of the two.

As I read it, there is no evidence of AK 47’s being used against aliens by Texas ranchers

I just had a ‘moment’. I now see what you are doing here and don’t try denying it. You saw in me a man without direction...adrift in the vast sea of Freepdom. And your cruel taunts are only intended to direct me to a new...a better, more meaningful way!

Oh Laz, you really are the Big heated cream-puf that I’ve heard about! And your guidance and wisdom have reached into the emptiness within me and drawn forth... something. Something I have until now lacked.

Thus I shall become a Radio announcer who dedicates himself to burying my inability to posses knowledge of reloading. I shall speak of medical issues and combustion!

Put a grain of pure sodium in that hollow point and seal with paraffin. Be very careful to not get any moisture in it (big explosion). Aim for center mass and as a general rule, arms, legs and head all go in different directions.

This is also very unlawful.

Their ancestors handled the Comanches they will prevail in this also.


Hate to say it, but ranchers aren’t enough to take on the Cartels. Only the National Guard with orders to “obliterate” would be effective. The Cartels are taking whatever they want and know how to get it.

I like to take a hollow point and file an X in the top, then fill the hole in with mercury, then sodium, then a kitten, then a rhino horn, then cover it with baby seal skin. I put this all in a press and then skoosh it down real good.

Then I coat the bullet in Gelinite and then teflon. Now I drill out the base and add a rocket engine and a single Pez from my Batman dispenser...

You obviously don’t do much reloading. The sodium will rust your ammunition. Otherwise, you would be spot on.

It doesn't take much. One drop of pig's blood, flesh, or fat will send the mozlim straight to hell.   Here's hoping that no one tells the mozlims about this, and the first they hear of it is when they get to hell and find out that their 72 virgins are shellfish.

That's where the teflon comes in to play.
