The situation in Mexico has serious consequences for our Rights, and even our lives here in AZ and all along the Mexican border. We cannot emphasize enough how much it is in our interest to have a free, safe and prosperous Mexico as our neighbor. Many of us have family, friends there and they are our neighbor.

We strongly support the Human Rights of the Mexican people to be able to defend themselves. That means the Mexican people should once again have the rights and resources to possess, bear and use modern and effective firearms. As over 70 years of corrupt federal government and it's attending gun control have shown, the bumper sticker is so true. "If guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns". Mexico is a textbook example of the failures of gun control. While some very limited firearms are permitted on paper, and in practice, the real effect has been to disarm the good people of Mexico.
That was done by the very corrupt political party that ran a country rich in natural resources and people, into the ground to prevent a revolution, not to "control crime" as was the pretense.

As the archived reports will show, the defenseless people of Mexico have suffered way too much. They deserve much better. We need to help.

Given the gravity of the ongoing drug war in Mexico our neighbor to the south, ASR&PA has been working to monitor the border situation and it's many effects on our state and our members:

Including drug and human trafficking, with related issues of murders, kidnappings, home invasions, extortion, destruction of wildlife habitat, illegal immigration, white slavery, money laundering, expenses of incarceration and medical treatments, the list goes on and on. Also de facto cession of areas of the state to the DTO's; fugitives, cash, firearms and ammunition running south. Most of these issues could be significantly reduced by simply securing the border.

To get it out of the way, ASR&PA does support legal immigration, trade, and travel between our countries. Especially so that we and our Mexican neighbors can once again freely and safely travel to our neighboring countries for competition, training, hunting and just enjoy good company.

AZMEX UPDATE 6 AUG 2008


Mexican soldiers enter Arizona, hold agent briefly
August 6th, 2008 @ 1:24pm

TUCSON, Ariz. (AP) - Four Mexican soldiers crossed into a remote area
of Arizona and briefly held a U.S. Border Patrol agent at gunpoint
before realizing where they were and returning to Mexico, U.S.
authorities said.
Border Patrol spokeswoman Dove Crawford said the incident early
Sunday on the Tohono O'odham Indian Reservation, about 85 miles
southwest of Tucson, was in an area where the border likely was
marked only with barbed wire.
She said the soldiers lowered their weapons after about four minutes
when the agent convinced them who he was and where they were, then
retreated into Mexico.
State Department spokesman Gonzalo Gallegos in Washington said the
encounter "stemmed from a momentary misunderstanding as to the exact
location of the U.S.-Mexican border."
Crawford said there have been about 40 similar incursions along the
entire border this fiscal year.
