I wasn't aware that any citizens lived in Hudspeth county....just kidding. I haven't looked up the population but I bet 50% of the population is related to the sherrif.....maybe Not quite that bad. There's not many people living in the county though, and it's a big county. That's where we ranch in Texas. So, now you guys can see some of what we deal with along that stretch of border. Basically, I never leave the house without at least one AR 15, and my Colt 1911, and plenty of fodder for both of them.

PS A major part of the problem is US drug prohibition. It puts fantastic amounts of wealth under the control of organized crime (just like alcohol prohibition did). With fantastic wealth comes the corruption of the police and government, which is driving Mexicans to cross the border. The only way to pull the rug out from under this dynamic is to legalize all drugs. The fact that police and government here so strongly resist this is strong evidence that the corruption has become strongly entrenched here as well.
WTF? No the way to stop it is to start shooting drug smugglers and sellers in the head immediately after being caught in the act. Not going to happen. Tyrannies have little trouble effectively outlawing recreational drugs precisely because they can use the tactics you recommend, but in a society like ours it won't work. We've seen, over the past fifty years or so the best our society is capable of doing in eliminating recreational drug use. Next thing ya know you will be huggin' BHO>>>>>>

Obviously since you don't follow the big government mindset of republicans, elkhunter76 felt it necessary to cast dispersions on you to conceal the true nature of what he supports. As always, can anyone provide info on any shootouts over turf between alcohol distributors in recent years?

Sheriffs - at least the patriotic ones will be the early leaders and organizers of Constitutional militia. They are in the position to perform this function better than most anyone else.

In the 60's and 70's it was often said drugs are a victimless crime and they don't hurt anyone but the users? Well April Fool dumb ass'. There's a lot of collateral damage.

alcohol is not victimless, and neither is drug use
but you can eliminate or drastically reduce the criminal element out of either enterprise
lots of folks got shot during prohibition too.
I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Yep, I keep asking for stories on Miller vs. Budweiser distributor shoot outs as they attempt to establish market areas and no one can give a link to anything of the sort and instead resorting to insults and various BS claims.

Not to interrupt a good shoot-out, but I've never heard of "Oathkeepers" until this thread! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, OP! I'm yahooing the group now for more information!
For once, a loophole that is in favor of all of us: The Sheriff is the man in charge, and not Barry!
JasonB, the war of alcohol ended when the 26th amendment was repealed, the casualties continue to climb. My youngest sister (only 18 at the time) was killed by a drunk who was fueled up by a bar in July, 1993. My oldest sister (only 36 at the time) was killed by a drunk who was fueled up by a bar in December, 1998. Territory shootouts? No. Dead victims? ... yes.
Personally, I don't want it any easier for my son to get crack or LSD than it already is. Laws just keep HONEST men honest, they don't make honest men. When alcohol was illegal, there were people who had never tried it. I'm trying to think of anyone I know who HASN'T tried it, now. Drugs would be the same. Making alcohol legal just made it easier for Matthew Broderick to get off scott-free after killing a mother and her young daughter.
I'm stepping off my soapbox, now.

Not trolling, just pointing out someone didn't have an argument so he tried to cast apersions on TRH. And thanks for the tip. Anytime I had ever heard that phrase used it sounded like cast dispersions and I am fairly sure I have read books that had it incorrect as well.

I'm stepping off my soapbox, now. I've been hit by a drunk too. Since the complaint revolves around crime that comes from trafficking drugs I specifically asked if there was any recent shootouts where alcohol distributors were trying to secure sales areas which seems to be a resounding "no". I would ask for a link to info showing there were people who were prevented from ever drinking alcohol during the short time period of prohibition, but after your claiming 18 is no longer the voting age or that somehow that amendment had anything to do with alcohol distribution or use I'll just assume it was trying to inflate your argument. And I would be in favor of banning alcohol again just to see the effects it would have on the nation's hypocrites. It would be bloody (as it was before) but overall it would be worth it.
