Blue Staters Have Some Important Decisions to Make Right Now

I doubt anyone inside Buford’s Bar in downtown Austin, Texas knew they would become part of the war on terror, Sunday night, but Senegalese immigrant-turned Islamic terrorist Ndiaga Diagne changed all of that. Diagne, 53, wore a “Property of Allah” sweatshirt with an Iranian flag shirt under it and had a copy of the Quran inside his vehicle, when he started killing innocent Americans.

Austin Police officers confronted him less than a minute after he fired his first round. Still, he was able to kill two people and wound too many more before he was shot and killed by responding officers.

It’s unlikely any of the victims were armed that night. Texas state law prohibits patrons from carrying a handgun if an establishment gets more than 51% of its income from on-premises alcohol sales. Known as the “51% rule,” it’s probably the very reason Diagne chose to attack patrons inside a bar.

The law may have worked fine during peacetime, but now, during a war against Iran…the largest state sponsor of terrorism in the world? Should any state law that disarms the public still be followed or enforced?

The FBI wouldn’t speculate why Diagne started shooting, even though nearly every American already knew the answer.

“Obviously it’s still way too early in the process to determine the exact motivation, but there were indicators on the subject and in his vehicle that indicate a potential nexus to terrorism,” FBI Special Agent in Charge Alex Doran told the media.

A nexus to terrorism? Sure.

At a press conference yesterday morning, Secretary of War Pete Hegseth was asked about the Austin shooting. He, too, didn’t say much in his response.

“It doesn’t change the operation at all,” Hegseth said during a press conference. “I know authorities are investigating.”

Secretary Hegseth was technically correct, of course. Diagne’s murders won’t affect any ongoing Department of War operations. However, those of us living in the United States have more than a few valid reasons to be concerned, especially after Joe Biden allowed thousands of hardcore terrorists to make America their new home during his four years in office.

The big question is whether Diagne was just a lone wolf or the first of many terrorist attackers. This, friends, is something our elected officials will likely not answer, at least not yet. Therefore, until we know exactly what’s coming, it’s smart to prepare for the worst. Many of us living in red states have already done so, but those in blue states have some major decisions to make.

These aren’t minor decisions, either. They could save your life and those of your family or lead to criminal charges, if you’re caught with a gun or a magazine. There’s also a third option, which is 100% legal: move.

Vacate the blue states and move somewhere that allows you to prepare for the Diagnes of the world and those like him. Get somewhere that doesn’t penalize law-abiding Americans for having magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. Live where you can own ARs and AKs, so you have at least a chance against any terrorist stupid enough to attempt an American jihad.

Bottom line: Live where you can defend yourself and your family extremely well, with modern arms that haven’t been downgraded by asinine state laws.

The Austin massacre should be a wake-up call for every blue state politician who made it difficult for their residents to defend themselves, while making it easier for terrorists to conduct their sick operations.

I literally pray that Diagne’s attack was an isolated event, something that won’t be repeated by the thousands of other terrorists Biden allowed to enter this country. However, I’ve never been one to take chances, especially when the stakes are so high.

Best of luck in your decision making, friends.
