Photographs of armed guards dressed in military-style camouflage and combat gear have appeared on anti-mining blogs in recent days. In one photo, one of the guards, armed with an assault-style rifle, appears to be masked. The photographer, Rob Ganson, said this was taken at a Gogebic Taconite drill site on Saturday.

I’ve seen the same getup at a paintball range.

How “excessive” can they be if someone can stand on their toes and take a picture of them?

I don’t suppose the lib-O-dorks have any pics of these armed guards doing anything except keeping lib-O-dork vermin from doing damage to private property.

Am I mistaken?

If not, lib-O-dorks, please shove your ideas (and the rest of yourselves) up your very smelly Obamas.

Do they have any openings? What could be better than to be outside, with your toys, not working for the government and getting paid?

Looks like a silencer on his weapon. Cool.
