As far as the President he has no choice but to retaliate. “ If you stand by without protest when the rights of others are being violated, soon these same evil forces will be violating you and your own.” As far as defending my loved ones or my self, I would not think twice about pulling the trigger. Texas is one of the few remaining states that it is still legal to shoot trespassers as long as you have your property posted and of course you can shoot someone breaking into your house or hurting your family. The Bible states that there is a time for peace and a time for war.
