Way too many anti gunners in Austin, San Antonio, Houston, Dallas, Corpus Christi. The failure of news services to report and the failure of the elected to acknowledge the situation is a big factor in the urban anti gun movement. Many still think cartel weapons come from "gun show loopholes" and there is no cartel activity in their cities. While in Austin last year I saw an article in the Statesman where the mayor and police chief both stated there was no organized cartel activity, no MS 13 activity in the barrio, and that as a "sanctuary city"Austin would be safer. Nobody on the east side that I know agreed with their assessment.
.
I have to add, in fairness, that both the Chief and others have taken a much stronger position. Still, many in the urban populace are in denial.
In the name of "political correctness" some "leaders" would stand by and let the country be overrun. After all, we don't want to
offend anyone, now do we? Actually, the threat of being shot, kidnapped, killed, or robbed by someone here illegally as a member of an ongoing criminal enterprise or terrorist organization is pretty
offensive to me. Why is it we can be offended, but the ones here illegally can't? I
don't mind anyone coming to America through the front door, the right way, and becoming a citizen. I
do mind the fact that people from other countries sneak in, commit crimes such as murder, narcotics distribution, robbery, rape, and general mayhem, and somewhere along the line it became OK. At some point, the guys and gals on the front lines trying to protect and defend us became the bad guys, at least in the eyes of the "more enlightened, liberal, and politically correct" leaders. Fortunately for these leaders, most of them are well protected, so they don't have to worry about sleeping with a loaded gun next to their bed in a border town every night because of the imminent threat posed by gangs and narco-terrorists.
When are we going to wake up and start calling this exactly what it is? It's an invasion, involving well funded terrorist groups that are engaged in a coordinated effort to infiltrate, populate, and terrorize this nation by people who aren't American, who don't want to be American, and who hate America for what it stands for....or what it used to stand for!
God Bless America, and God help us all!
