I'm repacking my bug out gear this weekend. Gonna make sure everything is set just in case...

What times we live in... :-|

[philman_36]

We live in interesting times.
May we all live through them.

“We live in interesting times.”

Hang onto your hat because I think they are about to get a lot more interesting.

“They’ve found anti-aircraft weapons and hand grenades from the Vietnam War era,” Plumlee said. Other weapons found include grenade launchers, assault rifles, handguns and military gear including night-vision goggles and body armor. “The information about the arms trafficking was provided to our U.S. authorities long before the ‘Columbus 11′ investigation began,” said Plumlee, referring to recent indictments accusing several Columbus city officials of arms trafficking in conjunction with alleged accomplices in El Paso and Chaparral, N.M.

Obviously more 'gunshow loophole' stuff. (/sarc, as if.)

[Smokin' Joe]

Okay, but what about the operations in Texas and Illinois? (Although the latter may have just been feeding one of these clearinghouses).

The whole "Iron River" meme had specific gun trafficking routes, and Southern California, Texas, and the Gulf States were on their list, as well as Illinois (Illinois?, home of Chicago Justice?) (not to mention Florida, New Mexico, and Arizona).

It would be perfectly fitting with the normal M.O. of these pukes to make sure that there were indeed firearms moving through all the 'problem areas', so my bet is that there are more ops involved.

Cain may not follow the establishment but Sarah is the ONLY potential president that would enact the rule of law on these scoundrels. The others would do what the establishment expects like G.W. Bush did re Bill Clinton's abuses and crimes and just move on. What a let down that was.

A great reminder as I need to do the same. Question for comment what do other Freepers consider indespensible for their bugout bags? Do you have one for each family memeber? Are they all the same? Should I open this as a seperate discussion topic to prevent hijacking this thread?

[Candor7]

So this is Obama’s secret revolutionary Army? Time to run them out of NM and Arizona.

[sockmonkey]

Should I open this as a seperate discussion topic to prevent hijacking this thread?

I vote for that..I think it would be a timely topic. I am curious if folks have cash, junk silver & gold, mercury dimes, or such things in their bug out bags..Or if they just have food, katadyne filters, poncho..that sort of thing.

[justa-hairyape]

That may explain how they are getting military weapons that are not sold over the counter.

[XenaLee]

Um...isn’t this an impeachable offense? Worse than Watergate. Worse than Iran/Contra. Worse than any other past Democrat scandal?

Why the hell isn’t any Republican jumping on this?

Where is our leadership? Do we have ANYone in the Rep Party that has the nads to confront these traitors?

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks ZGuy.

So basically “our “ government is arming the invaders across the border? WTF? When DO the border states tell the Feds to ^&ck off?!!!

Wake up guys!! The South Koreans sleep peacefully on their border with the Norks courtesy the US taxpayer and Ameican GI.
why can’t New Mexicans, Arizonans, Texans and Californians?!!

[penelopesire]

Thanks for the post Zguy.

Ping!!

[SandRat]

PING

[FourPeas]

It’s truly incredible to what lengths anti-2A government control freaks will go to take firearms out of the hands of law-abiding Americans. They’re actually willing to give/sell weapons to drug cartels with full knowledge that those same weapons will be used against the law-abiding Americans they’re trying to disarm. Despicable.

[FourPeas]

The South Koreans sleep peacefully on their border with the Norks courtesy the US taxpayer and Ameican GI. why can’t New Mexicans, Arizonans, Texans and Californians?!!

Excellent question.

[gaijin]

YES!!!

GOODBYE HILLARY CLINTON..! AHHAHAHHAHAH!!!!

I’m laughing, here...!

This is the best news I’ve read all day....!!!

[Mat_Helm]

Well that makes perfect sense if you are the CIA. You can't win the war on drugs. So set up your own little cartel in Mexico, arm it and equip it to take over most of the drug trafficking into the United States and use the money coming out of America to fund CIA operations world wide. Kind of like preserving U.S. money without having to vote for the tax and you control the drug trade by making a profit while you payoff the Mexican government and they pretend to fight drugs. No wonder our Government keeps that border open, they are making to much money off the American drug users. That is the truth of it, which is why fast and furious made sense to an already corrupt government!
