This is the future of weapons. A complete gun that can be both the 5.56, and the 7.62 in just a flick of a switch… Okay and you have to change the barrel too, but it is ultimately going to be the most versatile gun, because of the options that it has.

Check out the video below, and let me know what you think.

Mexico has had an influx of guns being brought into the country from the north. The guns are being purchased in the United states and then smuggled into Mexico, and distributed throughout the mobs and militias.

“The same routes that are being used to traffic drugs north — and the same organizations that have control over those routes — are the same organizations that bring the money and the cash proceeds south as well as the guns and the ammunition,” says Bill Newell, a special agent with the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives.

Many of the residents of the bordering towns have been fearing for their lives because of these cartels and organizations that are trafficking these weapons. The ATF have started a solution to the problem called Operation Gunrunner, in the latest seizure of the operation 42 weapons and slews of ammunitions were taken. The guns confiscated included AK-47 rifles and masses of Fabrique National pistols. The semiautomatic Fabrique’s fire a 5.7-by-28 millimeter round, which is considered to be a rifle round, according to the ATF. Newell says the round has a special nickname in Mexico.. “Mata Policias” or “Cop Killer” this video shows the ease of how these cartels are obtaining the weapons, and the crimes that they commit with them.

Multiple police officials have been killed on the bordering towns of the US and Mexico, including Cmdr. Francisco Ledesma Salazar, who was killed right in front of his house. The weapon that was used in this case was .50 caliber rifle round which at this point cannot be stopped by any form of personal protection. The ways in which these acts are played out are so extremely violent, that there has to be a plan of action put in place, to minimize and even stop the cartels from being able to obtain these weapons.

You are sitting at work, just a normal day when you hear a confrontation in the office. There is yelling and screaming and all of a sudden there is a string of gunshots… “Shots fired” what do you do? There is a company out there that is trying to make it so that people can prevent these situations from becoming bigger then they need to be, and hopefully from ever happening.

With our world as it is today there are so many contributing factors as to why our students, and why common man, can snap at anything. There are so many things that happen in our daily lives, so many stresses, that can turn a person into a malicious mob. Yesterday in the United Press international, I found this article on “Violence Prevention Training” and thought that it would be a good blog to post.

The Washington-based Center for Personal Safety and Protection is urging university and corporate security officials to take action against violence.

As the anniversary of the Virginia Tech University shootings approaches, the Center for Personal Safety and Protection is calling on security officials in academe and in corporate environments to take preventative measures to safeguard against violence. Virginia Tech student Seung-Hui Cho killed 32 people on April 16, 2007, the worst school shooting in U.S. history.

Center for Personal Safety and Protection officials say workplace violence costs employers $36 billion while affecting millions of Americans each year. The organization announced its training program, Shots Fired, is an effort to provide guidance for employees and students on handling an incident similar to what happened at Virginia Tech or more recently at Northern Illinois.

“Colleges and universities have spent a great deal of time and money since Virginia Tech and Northern Illinois in trying to make their campuses safer,” Allen Bova, Cornell University director of risk management, said in a statement. “Showing the Shots Fired video to our employees is one of the best things we can do. Every employee that has viewed it says there should be mandatory viewing for every student, staff member and faculty member.”

This article was very interesting to me, so I wanted to research it further and find out more about the shots fired video. I did my research and found that it is done by a company called OPSGEAR that is out of Salt lake city, Utah. I found a trailer for the video “Shots Fired” and wanted to show it here on the blog. The full video can purchased for $17.99 off of the OPSGEAR website.
