“Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto said Wednesday that the vigilante ‘self-defense’ groups of Michoacan had ‘in no way’ been allowed to expand on his watch, even though the groups began to emerge three months after his inauguration and have indeed grown in scope and power since,” latimes.com reports. In other words, bullshit. The current situation in Mexico’s southern territories is best described as “tense.” The Prez’s major domo, one Alfredo Castillo, deployed 4,500 troops and 4,800 federal police into the Tierra Caliente to roust cartel members and placate the “armed vigilantes” who took control of their own government. Whether and when “placate” becomes “pacify” – and I think you know what I mean – remains to be seen. “The vigilantes have also refused to lay down their arms until more cartel bosses are arrested.” I don’t think so. Click the above video, which shows Mexican troops disarming Mexican civilians – in no uncertain terms. And yes, it could happen here. [h/t Juan]

Most these idiot professors are flaming ‘ it will never happen to me’ liberal lamebrains.
G26
The construction on campus blamed by David Boren has been an ongoing matter for more than a year now. They’re currently tearing up a road that runs past the building in question but I cannot really see how that would would sound like gunfire.
If I had to guess I’d say a couple of jokers with cap guns thought they were being funny. Of course, if that were the case and I was the school I’d probably not want to report that either.
Either way, Boren is a jackass and I’ve told the alumni office that they won’t get a dime until he is gone.
Well it is Illinois after all! Idiocy to be expected.
I have already told my GP that we wont be discussing psych problems of any description.
President Obama stripping your privacy from medical records (executive order concerning HIPPA)
indicates they are actively going after guns using your medical records.
Caregiver is an insane concept, either for a grower or the more conventional definition of the term, since being under the influence let alone habituated to it would be a breech of ethics while at work, and probably a law violation anyway.
on the other hand someone impaired with any substance shouldn’t be armed if they are that impaired. If you want to have a standard, whats the military standard for arming walking wounded? they probably have a manual for that.
And those folks whose jobs are regulated by the feds (transportation comes to mind) need to be very very careful in their off duty enjoyment even if its legal where you are.
Let freedom ring.
30 rounds in half a second is complete bs. And that “automatic Sniper Weapon” that is used by troops in Afghanistan? Its not actually used by the troops. The standard Sniper Rifles for the US Military are Bolt Action Rifles, which include the M24 and the M40A3. This man makes me sick. Not going to explain why because I think most of you feel the same way.
So the state is spending money/man-hours fighting the people who are fighting the drug cartels? Makes sense. . .
Mexico has the same problem that we’re fighting in the middle East. The people see themselves as having tribal type loyalties. Being Mexican, or Afghani, or Iraqi, are secondary loyalties. It’s impossible to make a country when the citizens are so splintered.
America calls itself the melting pot. That’s a powerful image because we have many identities on many levels, but let an event like 9-11 happen, and we are all unified in being Americans first.
At least that’s how I see it.
Learned something from 1994, eh?
What is it they say? Oh yeah, leave your current position, you’re behind enemy lines. It would not surprise nor distress me if all manufacturers refused to meet the requirements to sell in California. California is lost, there isn’t likely to be a rebound of rights in general or 2a rights in particular in that state. Just get out! Leave for greener pastures and let the mess collapse under it’s own weight. At this point a few cents of ever dollar of tax dollar you pay into the state is used to oppress you and you essentially have no representation. increasingly it’s difficult to take a California seriously when they proclaim to be a 2A supporter, since whatever else they may do, they enable with their tax dollars a situation that is anti liberty in general and anti 2A in particular. The exception would be the (decidedly rare) Californian who gave more to 2A groups than they paid in state taxes. If you’re not one of these then you are actively funding the forces of evil. Pray you’re never held to account for it.
“professor of liberal arts”
Pretty much sums it up.
The G26 is already my edc gun. With Pearce +3 grip extension it fits me perfectly. Too many horror stories about balky sig pistols including one of my female work mates. Glocks just work, period.
Country safer? Not necessarily. a friend of mine lives in the country about 20 miles from the city where we work. The neighbor across the road just had his crackhead brother, who just got out of prison,come to live with him. Wednesday, my friend’s four dogs got out and came into the felon’s yard. So he shot all four then hauled off the bodies to cover the evidence.
Now the family is wondering what’s next.
I guess the moral is: always, always carry.
Tell you friend that works both ways, only NOT with dogs…Country living motto, “Shoot, Shovel, Shut up”…
III%…
Funny. Back in 1982 in that well known, right wing, red neck bastion of suburban Rhode Island, I took Hunters’ Safety at school. The teacher was a math teacher who taught Hunters’ Safety in his classroom after school. I scored highest on the final exam and the prize was an NRA Membership. A bunch of us would keep our shotguns in our cars in the parking lot and would hunt doves after cross country practice.
Of course today that same high school has a cop assigned to it, discharging a firearm in Town Limits is verbotten, and people complain about deer eating their roses and knocking over their trashcans. The Chief of Police refuses to issue any new CCW. I miss the old days.
Machine guns are cheaper than strippers… just sayin.
When seconds count, mall security is busy loading up it’s alimentary canal at one end or unloading it at the other.
Hopefully Colt didn’t put those ridiculous scope mounts on it.
Before, you could tell he was having fun. These recent videos seem forced, like he’s not enjoying himself.
The brave Mexicans taking up arms to defend themselves, their families, their land, and their way of life ARE NOT the (illegal) immigrants you are looking for… Bigot.
