Guy's really don't want to get too political but as a Veteran and after 30 years as a US Border Patrol Agent just feel obligated to pass this video on.  I'm just getting so sick of the lies from both the media and our politicians.

 I think that the US as we knew it is gone forever. Our political elite will never give up their protected status and will stay in control by whatever means they deem necessary. They do not care about the distinction between citizen and resident or between immigrant and illegal/undocumented immigrant. In Nevada illegals can get a driver's license and you can register to vote at the DMV while getting a license. Because of a quirk in our state constitution we can not impeach our federal representatives for any reason. Neither party will fix anything because they derive power from keeping us divided. Eventually the 2nd amendment will either be repealed or made useless.

It's not only the politicians who are to blame..  Most of the population doesn't  have a clue of whats going on in their own country. There was a segment on the news awhile back where they were stopping people in the street and asking them questions like who is our  secretary of state or what they thought about some of the some of the things that the government was doing that were infringing on our constitutional rights. Most people didn't have a clue about what was going on around them but they all knew who Kanye West and Kim  Kardashian are. .....As long as they can access Facebook and the welfare check shows up on time then life is good. Hopefully enough of our young people will wise up and realize that  all of the opportunities that this country still has to offer were the result of the sacrifices and hard work of the previous generations and not something that the politicians gave us. Maybe the elections of 2014 will send a message to Washington that if you don't do what you were sent there to do then you will be out of a job. Time will tell>>>>

Good point Moose.  If you or I get hired to do a job and fail...we'd be fired.

Seems to me that just about every politician of every stripe should be getting the boot!  And that goes double for our Canadian Prime Minister!

Living down here in the Southern Hemisphere, i have no right to an opinion on this, but thought id mention that while we do get a small amount of friearm offences, and shootings, our Police force do not carry sidearms. Of course they have arms, but they are not visable, a fact that will change in time. I just want to play with my cars

You don't have the border problems we are seeing. We are being invaded and it is not just nice people looking for work. Without guns I could not live where I have for the past 37 years. Just a little homestead in rural Nevada.

Good heavens, that is positively frightening.  I hope you have never needed to use your guns in anger.

Another thing that drives me crazy is that a 5 yr old gets suspended from school for chewing a pop tart into the shape of a firearm...but the television networks can show more gun violence in four hours than a person should see in a life time... and not a peep from either side...guess we are just programmed to accept & do nothing about the violence.

Seriously take note how many times you see someone using a firearm in a violent manner on TV, if you pay attention you'll be surprised. If the anti gun folks can suspend a 5 yr old for playing Cowboys and Indians..then they surely can get firearms banned altogether on TV? That's my kind of gun ban!

One of the biggest problems is that our news media has taken on the anti gun agenda of the left. Even though gun violence is far too high it is on the decline according to government records. You would never know this by watching the news. The US is no where near the top of the violent countries of the world and guns are used by armed citizens to stop more crimes than are committed with guns. Most of the shooting are among criminal gangs many of the shooters and victims are in the country illegally. The most violent areas are the ones with the most restrictive gun laws. Even Chicago's head law enforcement officer says their restrictive laws do not work. The gun violence is just a symptom of a culture in decline. broken families, unemployment, single parents, an education system that no longer teaches our history, and no moral fabric in the mix. And yes the attack on religion is part of it too. No common ground and no official language. We have never been what our founders wanted but we were closer than we are now.
Cocobolo, not in anger, FEAR! There is no room for anger around guns. Anger is for fist fights.

Yes, of course.  A far better choice of word!

If you are not paying attention to what is happening in the West and Nevada in particular you should be. My Senator seems to be stealing your land and trying to blame it on Desert Tortoises. If you don'r care just don't open these links. If you only open one do the last one and listen carefully it is just the beginning. We can not remove him but you can!
