But How Do We Tell?

Good guys with guns stopping bag guys with guns.  That's what we're supposed to believe when it comes to the Guns-Fer-All approach that ammosexuals are always trying to put over on us.

Maybe not so much - from an AP wire story via TPM:
A Border Patrol agent pursuing a group of immigrants in a wooded area near the Texas-Mexico border on Friday fired several shots at an armed man who later identified himself as a militia member.
--and--
An unknown number of militia members have come to the Texas border following a surge in illegal immigration this summer.
But Lucio said, "We really don't need the militia here." He recognized they have the right to carry weapons, but noted that with the Border Patrol, Texas Department of Public Safety and local law enforcement, there are enough agencies working to secure the border. Gov. Rick Perry also called as many as 1,000 National Guard members to the border.
--and--
"It just creates a problem from my point of view, because we don't know who they are," Lucio said.
"When guns are outlawed, only outlaws will have guns" is actually what we need to be "shooting" for, genius.  Cuz guess what - if the outlaws are the only ones with the guns, you'll be a lot easier to spot.
