But… but… but… Freedom!!!1!

A Texas lawmaker was shot in the head and wounded by a stray bullet while celebrating New Year’s Eve.

State Rep. Armando “Mando” Martinez (D-Weslaco) was hospitalized after he was injured by apparently celebratory gunfire early Sunday morning, reported KGBT-TV.

Martinez and his family were celebrating the new year just before midnight when they heard gunfire, so they sought shelter inside a garage with other revelers.

They went back outside to see a fireworks display after the gunfire stopped — but then started up again.

“At the stroke of midnight, my wife comes over and gives me a hug and a kiss, and right after that it felt like a sledgehammer hitting the back of my head,” Martinez said. “I grabbed it and she said, ‘What’s wrong?’ I said I was hit by something.”

But… “American citizen patriots” still don’t have enough automatic weapons self-defense against “tyranny.”

    If he was bent over ( possibly unintentional ) otherwise It’s Texas and he was a Democrat

    Could there be any other reason ?
