Interesting to take note of this recent shooting in Texas where an illegal immigrant was shooting his AR-15 in his backyard at 11:00 PM, and when his neighbors asked him to please stop so they could put their kids to bed, he methodically executed five of them in their home. The liberal response, of course, is to call for more gun control. “Ban assault weapons,” “weapons of war,” they scream. Meanwhile, it turns out the illegal immigrant in question had been deported five times, returning illegally most recently in 2013. He was also somehow able to procure an assault weapon as an illegal immigrant, something you’re not supposed to be able to do. In spite of the suggestion by the liberals that anyone can stroll into a gun store and emerge with an arsenal of their choosing, it is already required by law that the purchaser fills out an application and undergoes a criminal background check through the NICS system. The situation gets murkier when the democrats insist on issuing illegal immigrants driver's licenses that act as ID, suggesting residence and legal immigration status. So how exactly did he come into possession of a firearm? Further, it has become apparent that this was not the first time this idiot was discharging a weapon, capable of accuracy out to hundreds of yards, while intoxicated in his own suburban backyard. What exactly was he using as a backstop besides the heads of his neighbors?  Where was law enforcement, or were they not called because of the immigration status of all the participants in this tragedy?  How many laws do you have to break before the Democrats determine that another slew of restrictions will be equally ineffective?  Perhaps rather than taking away the rights of American citizens, we should do more to assure that those rights are not extended to non-citizens, particularly those that repeatedly flout our laws.
