Just be prepared when those people you are looking for are either themselves better armed, or the police/army escorting them are better armed, than you were prepared for.
So, if you go down in Molle and slung up with your FAL, be ready for the two following situations:
A) Destitute family with small children who are dehydrated and not going back.
B) Armed gang, or group with army support, that bear down on you with a HUMMV and a M2.
Shoot in (A) and you are a murderer, shoot in (B) and you are likely dead - frankly if you do not shoot in (B) you are likely worse off than dead.
I understand the desire, and pull to try and fill in where our government has failed us. But at the same time, you had better spend some real serious time playing out all the variations of how bad the border is and how you can actually help the situation.
I dunno. But anyone doing this needs to thing REAL HARD first.
very good point
A. form line and walk forward, pushing them back across..grown up version of red rover?
B and an all around good idea..dependable sharp shooters 500 yards behind, not fail safe, but better than sorry
