Just when I was thinking of selling my T-34

Is this a realistic threat on the southern border? I am aware enough of the drug conflicts that occur there but have to admit to a level of ignorance when it comes to actual armed conflicts between our citizens and the cartels. If there are realistic examples of this I'd be interested in looking into them. On the other hand, it seems like a ripe example for people to run to for hypotheticals as opposed to real examples of 'need'. If that's the case it's not much better than a Red Dawn claim to the need for a certain type of weapon. Invading Russians (or North Koreans in the new remake is it?) isn't a very realistic argument.

It does happen; http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_Krentz

Occhi is closer to the action in Texas.

I think the main point I wanted to get at, and may have entirely skipped over in my original post, is the default call to arms against the Government whenever an election or vote doesn't go the way you want it to. The Second Amendment is not a guarantee to majority opinion and an evolving society, culture, and Government isn't the same as Government overreach.

Yeah, I'm a bit tired of the "tree of liberty, yadda yadda yadda... " stuff whenever a vote goes against their positions... When the executive branch dissolves Congress, then I might get revolutionary...
