In reaction to the mass shooting in El Paso earlier this month in which Hispanics were specifically targeted, members of that community “crowded into a class over the weekend to become certified to carry a concealed gun in public in Texas,” according to Reuters. They have deprived the Left of its bully pulpit militating against gun ownership, and all it took was these people exercising their Second Amendment Rights under the U.S. Constitution!
The classes are just the tip of the iceberg:
Michael McIntyre, general manager of Gun Central, one of the largest gun shops in El Paso and the host of the class, on Friday said his store tallied double the usual number of sales in the week following the attack, something that did not happen after previous mass shootings in Texas.
Most of the sales were for handguns, which can be strapped to an ankle or shoulder under clothing.

“I have over 50 for this Saturday class and approximately the same amount for the Sunday class, and I normally have approximately seven,” McIntyre said.
“We actually had two people buy guns here who were actually in the Walmart on the day of the shooting. The other people are just saying, ‘Hey, you know I want to be able to protect myself in the event of something going on’,” he said.

My apologies to all for the error, thanks for the correction, FRiends. Let’s try this again in summary.
US population 328 million.
18% of the population is Hispanic, or 59 million.
10.5 million illegal aliens in the US.
Hispanics make up 47%, or 4.9 million.
That makes roughly 8% of Hispanics being illegal aliens.
All values are, of course, rough. My goal was to do a sanity check on the original statement, which remains false by a long shot.
My neighbors who moved down the street to a larger home due to his job promotion requiring some intertaining. Both are Black and are the type neighbors you want, even if they voted for 0.
Good Christians, good neighbors, both work in Memphis crime capital of TN both CCW. Most of our neighbors CCW. I do.
Exactly, I know some at work too. Very cool people!
“This should actually serve as a warning to Americans since most “hispanics” are illegals or the result of illegal immigration and are simply wanting to arm legally or illegally to defend their criminality. This is as bad as letting members of Islamic cult and Antifa buy and possess guns. It won’t end well.”
Talk about missing the forest for the trees? I submit your post for Dumbest Internet Comment Of The Day. Congratulations.
“10.5 million illegal aliens in the US.”
Try again.
50 million illegal aliens in the US.
“A slow Poke Rodriguez, he pack a gun!”
No, I’m done. Do your own research and arithmetic. My point stands, even if your number is correct.
BTW, do you have a response my question on this thread?

I’m genuinely curious.
So sick of the term “white people”.
I know NO ONE whose skin is WHITE, and neither do most people, unless they have an acquaintance who is albino!
Moreover, if many Mexicans are of Spanish descent, are they not— racially—Caucasian, or “white”?
And are there not many, including the gal who this article is about, whose family tree has obviously included a few Caucasians?
Again, just tired of all the clanging kettles calling the pots RASIS!
True. I am a mutt. Very rare to see white haired northern European types in America
A great number of Hispanic Texans have ancestry that goes back many generations on this land (~1700s-early 1800s). They are descended from Mexicans who became US citizens when Texas joined the US. ...Many are still ranchers/farmers on the lands of their ancestors.
