OP ED

So far, five people who were killed by the gunman in Odessa and Midland, Texas, were either Hispanic or looked Hispanic.  The only guy with the white name of Griffith definitely had a Hispanic look.  There are still two more victims yet to be identified, so I’m curious to see if they are also Hispanic or look Hispanic.

In the El Paso mass shooting case, the targets were also Hispanic or appeared to be.

Call me crazy, but I’m seeing a pattern here where Hispanics are the obvious targets of these shooters.  I realize Texas has a lot of Hispanic residents, both legal citizens and illegal immigrants, but Texas also has a lot more white people, so I don’t think I’m out of line to suggest there is a backlash occurring, and it has a lot to do with Americans’ frustration over being inundated by illegals.  Sure, the shooters could be racists against Hispanic people in general, but my suspicion is that these attacks are occurring because Congress is refusing to do anything to stop this invasion, and when the law does not protect the public, certain individuals in that public domain will take action.

This troubles me.  My wife is a gorgeous Hispanic lady born in Corpus Christi, Texas.  We live in Oregon, but at this point I’m understandably concerned for her safety.

Americans will take lethal action when their government refuses to protect them from an obvious threat.  Our history is filled with such instances, from the American Revolution to a totally corrupt town government cleaned up by returning WWII soldiers.  Our hatred of bullies and preying criminals is built into our American brain, and whenever possible, we don’t call 911 when we have the means to take care of our safety ourselves.

Liberals have this wet dream that someday our Second Amendment will be eliminated from our Bill of Rights, and that, like the New Zealanders, we’ll obey the law and allow our guns to be bought or confiscated.  That’s never going to happen in America, especially after the Democrats’ failed attempt to overthrow our duly elected President and government, and their continued cries for Socialism/Communism.  In particular, Americans will never allow our government to take their high capacity semi-autos for that specific reason unless the police and our military are also banned from having those weapons now and in the future.

The Framers of our Constitution made it crystal clear why they included the Second Amendment, and it had nothing to do with self-defense or hunting.  Having tasted what true tyranny is, the Framers made certain our citizens would have the means to topple our government with small arms if that future government became corrupt or our Constitution was threatened.  So if the police and military have an advanced form or small arms, the Framers insisted our citizens have access to the same kind of weapons.  It has been that way ever since Muskets were replaced by bolt-action rifles, and when bolt action rifles were largely replaced by high capacity semi-autos.  If hand-held laser weapons eventually replace firearms, we’ll be entitled under the Second Amendment to acquire those too.

The simple truth is this:  As long as Democrats and other liberal maggots continue to threaten our Constitution and our superior system of Capitalism, our very survival depends on our keeping those guns no matter what laws are passed.

It doesn’t matter how many innocents are killed in mass-shootings, because we all know we’ll ultimately pay a much higher price if those specific guns are out of our hands.
