[LittleLebowski]

Please understand that I am not a Border Patrol agent and have asked for that to be corrected. Fixed now.

Good on you for bringing this to the national media's attention!

Our BP Agents have enough problems in the current theater as is without worrying about getting into a firefight with a improperly zeroed rifle.

Good job, my only issue with the article is the liability bit about personal owned rifles being used.

I wonder if there is any liability to carrying a rifle on duty that the Chief Deputy hasn't approved.

Way to enlighten!



But a quibble:

I'm not American so I admit that I have no firsthand knowledge of this. But I checked with the wife of a friend of mine in Connecticut and she assured me that her gardeners and maid are perfectly law abiding.

Does the border patrol even need guns?

I told him when he asked that the "liability" issue was complete BS, and explained it in detail. Obviously got cut.

Good job guys. Hopefully the BP will appropriate the funds in the right place this time and spend a little more on a quality rifle than a Bushmaster.

CBP does not and has never use Bushleague, I mean Bushmaster. All M4’s in CBP are Colt.

My bad, I thought someone said Bushmaster in another thread on the subject.

Ever noticed that 99.99% of the population of Canada is within, like, 25 feet of the US border? Yeah, don't think we're not wise to y'all. Of course the Border Patrol needs guns!
