Border Control Mischief

A group of Mexicans in a Ford F-150 and a Chevrolet Avalanche tried to smuggle 1 million dollars worth of drugs into the country.

In Tuscan, Arizona, on December 1st, Mexican smugglers with automatic weapons drove into a wall at the border with two trucks filled with drugs. When the smugglers were pushed back by border control, they began firing on them, but the border control were too frightened of the consequences to fire back.

Has America truly gone this far? Have we gone as far as to make people frightened to protect themselves because they will go to jail. If it's obviously self-defense, then why would one go to jail? Why would someone have to be scared to fire back at another? How far will it go? Will we eventually be too scared to fire at a burglar to protect our family because we'll go to jail for the rest of our life? I for one will never be scared, no matter what the consequences.
