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.

Marijuana smuggler killed by bandits south of Tucson, authorities say

A man smuggling marijuana into the United States from Mexico was killed early Monday morning west of Green Valley when bandits confronted a group of drug runners, authorities said.
The manÕs body was found Thursday morning by U.S. Border Patrol agents using a dog for the search, said Rob Daniels, an agency spokesman.
The search was initiated Wednesday night based on information from two witnesses, Daniels said. The Mexican Consulate in Tucson relayed information stating the man was part of a group carrying marijuana when they were attacked on Monday, Daniels said. The rest of the group went to the Mexican Consulate and told officials there of the killing.
The body appears to be that of a young adult male. No identification was found, Daniels said.
About 7:50 a.m. Thursday, the Border Patrol agents notified the Pima County SheriffÕs Department that the body had been found in the desert, about five miles west of Calle Tres and Montana Vista.
Homicide detectives were called to the scene by the responding deputies based on the suspicious nature of the death, said Deputy Dawn Hanke, a department spokeswoman. The man suffered obvious trauma, but because of decomposition of the body, detectives are awaiting the results of an autopsy to determine the cause of death.
Daniels said itÕs unclear who attacked the group of smugglers and that the sheriffÕs department and U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents will continue the investigation.
