This is why we have the 2nd Amendment
« on: January 20, 2014, 08:19:08 PM »
Mexican citizens have finally had enough of the drug cartels and are taking up arms to drive them out.  The government and police are corrupt and won't do anything, so they're taking matters into their own hands, even to the extent of arresting those police who side with the cartels.  Of course, if you look at the pictures you see a lot of single shot shotguns and other hopelessly antiquated firearms. 

THIS is why America has the 2nd Amendment.  We as citizens have the means to defend ourselves from both internal and external enemies.  THIS is why the average citizen needs modern rifles.

The drug thugs have a get even approach, and zero tolerance.  Any citizen in that march, will be subject to payback, and the police will help identify the people involved, and look the other way as heads roll. 

Not saying they should not try to do what is right, but a little discretion, would keep innocent detached heads from swinging from bridges. 

This is what happens once corruption in government is left unchecked.  Our side of the border is not immune to this level of erosion, and we are on that path, I fear.

Walk into Walmart and just listen to the customers talking to one another.  If you think there is a protective border between Mexico and Texas, think again.
