Border Guard? - The Firearms Forum

Gene Seward · 07-05-2010, 10:55 AM

Can anyone tell me what happened to the group of people that were patroling the border and helping out the ranchers. I know they were catching alot of heat from the WH and some of the government agencies. I was in Houston once and they were signing people up for this at a gun show. I wish I had lived in Texas for once in my life. With all the crap coming from the WH about not being able to secure the border I think that the retired people and ex military could secure it if everyone would leave them alone. Hey I would go. I figure I will get flamed over this, but it may give someone else a chance to cool off for awhile. LOL

Yes, we were talking about this group a few days ago and wondering why we hear no more about them. IIRC, "W" came down on them pretty heavily, referring to them as "vigilantes."

The link takes me to a "log-in" page of which I am apparently not a member.

Correct, that is their web site. You can not get in unless you are a member, but then membership is free!
