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 Citizens want arms 8-2-2009

Neighbors threaten to arm themselves against insecurity
Dale Cologne
Meza Froylan
Sunday, February 8, 2009
Tired that the police do not deal with insecurity, inhabitants of the colony Dale said they are willing to arm themselves to defend their property and their lives. "I already convinced myself that the thieves here pay off the patrol, and I'm not willing to continue  them hurting us," said Jose Antonio, who lives on the perimeter of the square.
At first, the parent disavowed any attempt to form any armed group. "We've talked. We saw at first like a stitch, but we're taking it very seriously, some have already bought a gun. "
- Eye for an Eye?
"No - said Jose Antonio -. I have to say we do not believe that violence is the solution, but I know that the law protects us if we defend ourselves inside our home, "he said.
- How serious is the uncertainty in the colony Dale?, He was asked.
"Look, if you ask the Lord of the workshop here, he's going to give details of recent car thefts: just took a van Friday, and that falls to him all the information, and is responsible to advise alarms and systems put 'short-stream' and the like. "
On the west side of the colony, to the stream of the Rosary have been countless thefts of vehicles. "Here at the turn of the school, they just steal a van outside the house to neighbors," said Mrs. Emilita, a resident of the colony.
"There are cholos waiting for young couples to spend the night to raid - outlined the lady -: the other day my daughter's boyfriend, they took his cell ... were two: one tall, bald of beard, and a squat. When the patrol arrived, the officer asked if he was not Tom, that is, if you know the names of the thugs. They do know who and where they live, and everyone in the neighborhood say that the thieves will pass a 'mocha' the 'cops', and therefore let them "work" without being disturbed. "

Vecinos amagan con armarse por la inseguridad
Colonia Dale
Froylan Meza
Domingo, 08 de Febrero de 2009
Cansados ya de que la policía no remedie la inseguridad, habitantes de la colonia Dale dijeron que están dispuestos a armarse para defender sus propiedades y sus vidas. “Yo ya me convencí de que los rateros aquí le rinden cuentas a los patrulleros, y no estoy dispuesto a que nos sigan haciendo daño”, advirtió José Antonio, quien vive en el perímetro de la placita.
De entrada, el padre de familia se deslindó de cualquier intento por conformar ningún grupo armado. “Ya lo hemos platicado. Lo vimos al principio como una puntada, pero ya estamos tomando muy en serio; algunos ya compraron una pistola”.
-- ¿Ojo por ojo?
“No --dijo José Antonio--. Tengo que decirle que no creemos que la violencia sea la solución, pero yo sé que la ley nos protege si nos defendemos adentro de nuestra casa”, acotó.
-- ¿Qué tan grave está la inseguridad en la colonia Dale?, se le preguntó.
“Mira, si le preguntas aquí al señor del taller, él te va a dar detalles de los últimos robos de automóviles: apenas el viernes se llevaron una camioneta, y ahí le cae a él toda la información, y se encarga de aconsejarnos para que pongamos alarmas y sistemas de ‘corta-corriente’ y otros similares”.
En el lado Poniente de la colonia, hacia el arroyo de la Rosario, han sido incontables los robos de vehículos. “Acá a la vuelta de la escuela, les acaban de robar una camioneta de afuera de la casa a unos vecinos”, señaló doña Emilita, vecina de la colonia.
“Hay unos cholos que esperan a que pasen parejas de jóvenes en la noche para asaltarlas --reseñó la doña--: el otro día al novio de mi hija le quitaron el celular... eran dos: uno alto, pelón de barbita, y otro chaparro. Cuando llegó la patrulla, el agente les preguntó que si no era fulano, o sea, que sí se saben los nombres de los malandros. Sí saben quiénes son y dónde viven, y todos dicen en el barrio que los rateros les pasan una ‘mochada’ a los ‘chotas’, y que por eso los dejan ‘trabajar’ sin que sean molestados”.
