US citizens are armed and waiting

To the Editor:

As like many Missourians and Americans alike, we are facing an epidemic type, radical movement around the world. The Syrian Immigrants issue is of major proportion and the problems caused by it are causing even bigger concerns.

I too am very upset with our Governor, Jay Nixon, who as we all know is a lame duck Governor, is one who, like President Obama, have reached their end when it comes to having supporters believe anything they say. I am upset at the idea Gov. Nixon will not follow suit and disallow any Syrian Immigrants into Missouri like many of our neighboring states have done.

The recent attacks in Paris are just the beginning of what is yet to come not only in Europe but across this vast globe we call home. If you have noticed the recent attacks have been on countries that unlike America, in the fact that homes in these other countries are not armed like homes across the United States. Americans are proud people and most of these Radical Syrian Immigrants know if they come here uninvited there will be a fight like they have never experienced before.

Lets take a look at the countries in the European and Middle Eastern Regions being consumed by these Syrian Refugees: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Turkey, Italy, Germany, Spain, UK, Finland, France and Poland. Name me one of these countries that have gun rights in them like we do in America? I am certainly no expert but I can almost bet the answer would be, none. This alone, if I were one of these radicals, would tell me these citizens do not have any ways to protect themselves and I would most certainly take advantage of this and do whatever it took to overcome any of their minimal resistance to basically invade their household.

Now, try this move in America and see what happens. As a lifetime member of the NRA, this is why the Second Amendment is so vital in the United States. I can guarantee if any Syrian Radical Immigrants attempt to force their way onto any properties in the US much less try to enter a home, there will be bloodshed in a fashion never seen in the US lying around like a fox in a hen house. In no way am I pushing for any type of blood to be spilled but I, like many others ,WILL protect what is rightfully mine.

In the words of Charlie Daniels, in his song, "Simple Man";

"I have to work like a dog to make ends meet,

there's crooked politicians and crime in the street,

and I'm madder'n hell and I ain't a-gonna take it no more."

"Now I'm the kinda man would not harm a mouse,

but if I catch somebody breakin in my house,

I've gotta twelve gauge shotgun waitin on the other side."

"So don't go pushing me against my will,

I don't want to have to fight you but I damn sure will,

so if you don't want trouble then you'd better just pass me on by."

Basically put, NUFF SAID!!!
