That sounds like a silly and dubious statement.

But but but... I thought that armed police were all we needed?

That's what the gun-control crowd keeps telling us when we want to defend ourselves.

How?

They come here, start businesses, adopt American names, give their kids American names, commit far less crime than the general population, and their kids invariably work hard and become successful themselves.

The vast majority of East Asians who come to the U.S. (along with South Asians, Persians, and Nigerians) are the epitome of the American dream.

Private gun owners are infinitely more valuable to self-defense than are cops.

It certainly does.

Asians are only more American than big-govt liberals. And the open-borders crowd.

Asians are more American than most conservatives and liberals. They don't go on welfare, they create wealth through owning businesses, they have extremely low crime rates, and they assimilate into society.

How does all of that make them more American than most living here? I'm just trying to make sense of that statement.

In other words, they act just like normal conservatives... and very differently from big-govt liberals and welfare queens.

Because most non-Asian Americans don't have half the work ethic and business sense they have.

Actually, they act like normal libertarians.

They don't try to impose their morality on us though government mandate. They just keep to themselves and make gobs of money.
