What does the fact that the protesters were armed have to do with the story?

They’ll get no argument out of me. Military usually votes R, while refugees will vote D though.

Most protesters are not carrying firearms openly. It is a bit unusual.

Usually it's the other way around.

We need more of this.

Nationalism before globalism.

Charity begins at home.

We should do right by our own people first before worrying about other people.

Simple common sense. Its too bad the liberals haven’t put common sense on the endangered species list; it might get more attention that way.

Hoping the corrupt administration doesn’t have them put down.

Open carry is now OK in Texas, for CHL holders.

The 2nd amendment protects the 1st, and all the rest.

That's progress, but you're not there yet.

WV Legislature just passed (Almost) Constitutional Carry. I expect the filthy 'Rat governor to veto. Override is uncertain. We're not there yet, either.

MSM trying to discredit the protesters as dangerous armed racist hicks, of course.

But it’ll boomerang. Muzzies don’t like inferior “infidels” being armed, and tend to give them a wide berth with never a peep of “Allahu Akbar”.

Muzzies aren’t comfortable in gun-friendly states and are strongly for gun control.

The welfare of veterans certainly does not come before refugees. It is a travesty. It is so ironic that in New York One finds reverence toward veterans so much more and so sincerely than in Texas Cannot explain it

Those were armed morons. The greater militia did well to keep their distance from them.

They sure do look around a lot when they leave their storefront mosques in Texas.

Here in Columbia, South Carolina there was for a while a rash of hijab wearers & kufi cap wearers in our local supermarkets & malls, with dirty looks at women in miniskirts, etc. I often got (and gave back) the `fisheye’ for being a Reservist in uniform.

Then, CCW permits became widespread among us “infidels”, gun sales soared post-Obama immaculation, and the muzzie garments practically disappeared.

Interesting, no?

We have CHL and open carry. The Peoples Republic of Austin is trendy, though, and full of SJWs. Outside of the PRA we are more aware.

Why do SJWs love muzzies so much?

They bring chaos and disorder. The issue is never the issue, the issue is always the revolution.
