People who have been denied their right of self defense in their home country, or here, and those who have had that right taken away (felons), are often the most aware of the value of that right.
Years ago, the Phoenix New Times newspaper published an April Fools story, entitled Arm the Homeless, about an imaginary organization that was buying and distributing guns for homeless people.
Of course the immediate reaction was that readers were horrified, but soon thereafter readers saw the logic in doing so. The homeless are frequently victims of robbery and violent crimes, have very little public and police support, and actually have a need to be armed.
Now think about illegal aliens. Economic migrants are often dirt poor and prey to every variety of human scum predator out there.
I’m not saying, “Welcome to America. Here’s your gun!” But that some consideration needs to be given to acknowledge their God-given rights *for those of good character*, as is done for our citizens.
hell no. They broke the law coming here and they need a broken jaw
Tell us how this is a good thing….
Don’t stop There...
Been a citizen here from the start up to 80+ years now & nobody furnished me a gun. Never convicted of any crime either.
