"Heightened Alertness"

U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) agents seized 10 guns and thousands of rounds of ammunition from a southbound pickup truck in Southwestern Arizona on Saturday. On Thursday, CBP officers found rifle barrels, firearm accessories and gun powder in a tractor-trailer attempting to exit the U.S. for Mexico in Pharr, Tex. And on Wednesday, CBP agents in Laredo, Tex., discovered a collection of weapons and ammunition hidden in a second truck destined for Mexico. [More]
Is that an "arsenal" due to the quantity of weapons seized, or a "spate" because there were three seizures?

I'm so confused.

And is it me, or does "heightened alertness" sound like something they'd make fun of George Bush for saying?

Gosh--they're making more noise about this than if they'd seized a Democrat-sanctioned ChiCom ship of full-auto AK-47s...

A lot more noise.

  1. Did you notice that they didn't mention that the CVA .50 Cal is a black powder muzzle loader? Doesn't sound scary enough. Hey, where where the RPG's, DPRK grenades, full-auto Ak-47's? And they lied about AK 47's, they didn't get real ones here.

  2. "Alertness', eh? Sorta e=reminds me of that old joke played on Colorado roadsigns: Be Alert. We need more lerts.

    Ever get the feeling that America is a sinking ship that sprung a leak when Obama was elected, and now that he is in power, he's drilling holes to let the water out?

  3. Sounds like a couple of small business owner LICENSED gun dealers got lost on the way to a gun show. Parts, accessories, powder, black-powder rifle. Booths like we hard-core home-grown terrorists walk past without a second glance.
    I refuse to believe that every hard-core criminal in Mexico who wants a gun doesn't have one by now, to hear our government tell it.

  4. Or a small time illegal dealer ... that kinda low power stuff is exactly what the average Mexican buys for home use.
