There is no need to justify your “need” to own a modern sporting rifle (a.k.a., “assault rifle”). Whether or not you need it, the Constitution of the United States protects your right to keep and bear it. Even so, there’s nothing wrong with countering anti-gun agitprop by pointing out that some Americans do in fact “need” a 30-round, accurate, reliable, easy-shooting AR-15—rather than a Joe Biden-approved double-barreled shotgun–to defend hearth and home. While mainstream media pundits can’t see beyond the Hudson or Potomac rivers, there are millions of Americans living in places where distances are great, the police are distant and the lethal threats can be both numerically large (i.e. several attackers) and extremely well-equipped. Can you say “spillover violence”? borderlandbeat.com reports on the situation in Texas . . .
According to the Texas Department of Public Safety, Mexican drug cartels pose “the most significant organized crime threat to the state.” That’s according to the Texas Public Safety Threat Overview 2013, which was released today following its presentation at the 2013 Texas Emergency Management Conference in San Antonio earlier this week . . .
The 76-page report, which can be read HERE, identifies myriad “threats” to the state — everything from prison gangs [ED: who’ve been busy assassinating public officials] to “criminal aliens” to child traffickers to terrorists (among them would-be Fountain Place bomber Hosam “Sam” Smadi) to drug traffickers bring “cheese” into schools around Northwest Dallas. As the DPS notes in its release this afternoon, its threat assessment was culled from info provided by myriad local and federal law enforcement agencies.
But, says the report, the cartels are No. 1 on the threat list. “Six of the eight cartels currently have command and control networks operating in the state, moving drugs and people into the United States, and transporting cash, weapons and stolen vehicles back to Mexico,” says today’s release.
Texas DPS Director Steven McCraw adds this in a prepared statement: “The impact of cartel crime is painfully obvious when we look to our neighbors in Mexico, with some 60,000 deaths since 2006 and continued cases of brutal torture. It is a top DPS priority to severely obstruct the range and power of Mexican drug organizations to affect the public safety of Texas citizens.”
According to the report, the Zetas and La Familia are the cartels most active in North Texas.

There’s a lot of committees and new gov’t positions being formed here, but I see no mention of how it is going to be paid for.
Totally need a spoiler alert at the top of this article. I haven’t watched The Walking Dead yet, but it’s next on my list of shows to catch. You can’t just blow a season finale without saying spoiler alert ha ha!
GOT is back on.. who cares? Well I guess you guys but watch this later when GOT is off-air.
I hate zombies and all media associated with them, with the exception of the original “Night of the Living Dead”, “Return of the Living Dead” (if only because of the dancing punk girl in the grave yard) “Shaun of the Dead” and Max Brook’s books “The Zombie Survival Guide” and “World War Z.”
Glad to see that while I got the “April fools” part of this, I still want them anyway.
Absolutely a ‘good shoot.’ I’ll give you about a second to drop that weapon. Failure to comply along with advancing is a caradinal sign of an impending attack. OTOH the kid was just a kid, not a warrior, and probably just made a stupid decision. Oh well, stupid games … stupid prizes.
This guy is funny. Try and take your M16 off base. Try and bring your personal weapon on base. Try and keep ammo in your room. Try and load your weapon before you are instructed to. The military barely trusts is members and only under direct supervision from and NCO or officer. Joining the military is not a right enshrined in our Constitution. Otherwise, anyone could join. This dipsh1t is making comparisons that aren’t even remotely related.
Feeling something and saying something.
Opinion vs description of action.
One is fine, the other unwise.
Knock, Knock.
Leaving a slave state is not a viable strategy until the Federal gun ban proposals are resolved. If FOTUS (Fuhrer Of the United States) gets his way, it won’t matter if you move to a free state, since none will be free. The choice will be between various degrees of slavery. Texas, for example, will be better than New York, but that’s damning Texas with faint praise since both will suck.
After the D.C. assh@ts have their way, then it will be time to commit to a change of location. I’m working on mine.
I’ve recently become interested in getting one of these, despite my dreadful allergy to striker-fired handguns.
This is a LONG time after the review, but can anyone tell me how it performs with 230-grain hollowpoints, which, of course, it will be loaded to the gills with?
The Point?
THE POINT?
WE have God given rights
They Must Destroy Those Rights so that they may enslave us
THAT IS THE POINT
No. The benefits of an open discussion out weigh the harm of giving these guys notoriety.
True, that Lanza kid is a fu#ktard
To dare not speaketh someone’s name or gazeth upon their image is in cultures world-wide the greatest deference you can give acknowledging the power of some person or entitiy and your fear of them or it. Why would you elevate these weak and pathetic trash to that level? Why would you fear them so much that their names and images achieve special status and therefore special treatment. That is what they want. Not the whole world talking about them openly and fearlessly as weak and pathetic trash.
