Texas Ranchers Using AK47s to Defend Against Cartel Invaders

The border is “safer than ever”. So says DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano. Again and again.

Barack Obama has mocked those who say the border is unsafe: “Maybe they’ll need a moat. Maybe they’ll want alligators in the moat. They’ll never be satisfied.”

But for Texas ranchers in the Rio Grande Valley, the border has never been more dangerous. And they are stocking up with the hardware to do the job that the Feds refuse to do – AK47 rifles to defend their property and lives from border violence.

Barbed wire fencing doesn’t keep illegal aliens off the property anymore. One Starr County, TX rancher doesn’t have time to worry about the illegals these days. He now worries about the smugglers protecting their loads.

“I don’t think they would have any conscience of taking someone’s life,” the rancher says.

He saw that will to kill firsthand. A smuggler shot at him on his own land.

“One round was fired at me, and it missed my head by about two feet,” says the rancher.

He says there’s only way to react.

“Fire all the rounds you have, reload, and do it again,” says the rancher.

The local Armory Gun Store says business has been brisk for AK-47s and AR-15s from “countless” ranchers reporting break-ins and home invasions. But this rancher said no matter how many guns they buy, they will always be “outgunned” by the cartels.

I guess these ranchers didn’t get the memo from Obama and Big Sis that their border is “safer than ever”.

What will they want next….a moat?

    The best thing to do is impeach Obama and get rid of those that refuse to uphold our laws.

It’s time WE THE PEOPLE took back our country and get all the illegals out starting with Obama. please contact me or msg me on facebook or by email. larry69wells@gmail.com

    If the Feds wont do the job, and they wont allow the states to do so, you need to call up the militia!

    The Texas State Militia is now active and ready to defend U.S. Borders and will go to any border state to defend LIFE and PROPERTY from any cartel.

    Go to http://www.texasstatemilitia.com to contact our command staff and request assistance.

    The American better gun up with as much as they can get, these pieces of garbage are in ev every city and waiting for the telephone call to start the war, it’s a trojan horse which our government leaders will eventually answer over there treasonous activity and being in bed with the anarchists. Every president who has turned there head away and were apart of it will be arrested and jailed and also charged with treason when the SHTF. It’s coming and when it comes they will wish they never did to this nation what they did.

  10. dave January 23, 2012 at 2:50 pm #

    Of course the ranchers will always be out gunned by the cartels when the Federal Government’s supplying the weapons.
    None of this could ever be possible if there wasn’t Oath breakers!
    The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

      C’mon- get something with more reach than the AK. Get an AR-10 and be able to return accurate fire out past 500 yards.

    Janet Napolitano and Barry Soetero are LYING to the American public about how “secure” the borders really are and I can prove it!

    I have reported corruption AT the Border for many years as a U.S. Customs employee and Federal officer who enforced the Customs and Immigration laws for about 16 years from 1983-1998 when I was eventually forced out.

    I was former U.S. Secret Service, SDPD, U.S. Mint Police, and worked in U.S. Customs & Immigration with over 25 years law enforcement.

    I became a “Whistle-blower” in 1995 publicly and exposed corruption after the usual reports thru the chain of command and they did NOT work.

    I suffered retaliation and still suffered death threats and was sent to prison for a conspiracy I did NOT commit. There was an informant who was trying to set me up and he was an “illegal” alien Mexican with a FELON record that got convicted in 1996 for “setting up” two other Customs officials I knew or worked with.

    My website is called http://www.customscorruption.com and I outline many problems that still have NOT been investigated to this day. The border is just as porous as it was 20 years ago.

    Barry Soetero is disarming us all and I can prove it.

    Vote me into office and I will clean up this mess within 3-6 months and continuing on within 1-4 tears. Activate National Guard,(Military) armed at the border, hire 30,000 more CBP/ICE personnel and fix ALL fences including the Canadian border where there are no fences. Armed incursions will be met with “deadly force” Especially when they are openly coming form the border with backpacks, and M-16 ‘s or other semi-automatic/fully automatic weapons. We have to fight this as if Al Qeada/Taliban/Hezbolla is coming into OUR country to kill us.
