Should we issue our border patrol agents sling shots as weapons ?

Answer 1

Ha! Yeah right. As if that will do any good against the whole swarm of them or the drug cartel.

Our government is getting stupider and stupider with each passing day. (And for little miss priss at the bottom who's tryin' to correct me - grow up. I know it's *more stupid* - I can say what I want)

Answer 2

It's all just theater to keep the feebleminded preoccupied. It's official, you know. The borders are going away. As brought to us by Bush while many were distracted with racist bickerings, we are now one Superstate. N.A.F.T.A., as you know, is an economic alliance between Canada, the U.S. and Mexico. Without Congressional over-site, Bush this winter signed into law a political extension of that agreement in which the three nations are now the new North American "Superstate" called SPP. All borders are to be "streamlined" and eventually eliminated, major new toll highways are already planned to connect all three nations (including the big one eight football fields wide right up through the center of the new Superstate that the King of Spain will hold the lease and profits from), a common currency (eventually, not at first) and common citizenship. Mexico even gets a big chunk of Kansas to use as a staging area for it's highway construction and management contracts. This is all fact. New eminent domain laws also brought to you by Bush, will take all the land the new developers want. You're going to laugh at this illustration. And, here is the new government's official website: (Happy Days Are Here Again!)

Answer 3

If I were the patrol agent I would not feel very protected by a lame sling shot. They should at least have something that looks dangerous so that people will be scared to cross.

Answer 4

Don't think sling shots will get the job done. What needs to be done is for the politicans to let the military, border patrol agents, any law enforecement officer to do what they are being paid to do. What happened to the border patrol agents who were sent to jail is the worst decision that judge could've made. If people don't speak up about this to their politicans and pass around your remarks about this incident, then things will get worse not better.
I don't understand why more politicans and media are speaking out on this incident.

Answer 5

Our border patrol should be issued every weapon imaginable including sling shots. Personally, I think they should sow the river bottom with caltrops wicked enough to go through a man's shoe. They'll discourage wading.

With appropriate warning signs, of course. In Spanish. Let's be nice.

Answer 6

Hey you can take an eye out with a slingshot, and that has a higher disability rating than being shot in the a**.
Bigger pay out!

Ipsydoodle- The Mexican Govt. already furnishes the Illegals with the pamplets you are referring to, believe it or not.

Answer 7

I know this is in reference to the Mexican police having their guns taken while the government investigated shootings in relation to drug smuggling. I thought that was funny, but sad at the same time. http://www.cnn.com/2007/WORLD/americas/01/27/slingshot.cops.ap/index.html

What happens if the border agents shoot an illegal in the @ss, does he only sue us for 2.5 million?

Answer 8

I think the border patrol should be handing out welcome to the USA brochures that detail how to subvert US law and get by as an illegal alien.

Answer 9

Might as well since it seems they are not allowed to shoot at anyone crossing illegally. Yup. gotta give those drug lords a pass.... send our guys to jail.. Give me a break. Who's being paid off , I wonder.

Answer 10

Yes. But the Natives should of had them too so they could use them when the Mayflower arrived.
