Sure glad it didn’t happen in Aussieland, the homeowner would be brought up on charges of injuring the invader; you have to try to talk them out of invading or attacking you, etc.

Seems to me to be a perfect example of ‘gun control’ in Texas.

Good work. We’ve seen so many cases like that so far. Someone should be gathering and listing them for later reference against the anti-Second-Amendment creeps.

Disarming served to make the Muslim immigrant takeover of the UK much less messy than it might have been. Initially anyway.

My UK brothers, you’d best bone up on you Arabic, Farsi and Urdu....
