There's a fine line between gun enthusiasts and paranoid racists who think they're being surrounded from all sides by invading savages (aka non-white folks). They're hard to tell apart, they frequent the same gun ranges, they frequent the same gun shows, and they both have the same general survivalist views except one of them has the intent of using their guns on people from the very start.

My uncle is a gun collector as are many of his friends. They're the ones who warned me about some folks who moved in during the past few years and they're not exactly like the regular townsfolks we know.

Perhaps in the PH, the notion is far-fetched. Out here in the US, it's very real. There really are places where Filipinos and other non-white folks have to be careful and watch their surroundings.

Then there are the militias here in Arizona who say they are helping the Border Patrol catch illegals. I don't buy it. Many of them are probably heavily-armed racists itching to use their guns. I wouldn't be surprised if they're responsible for some of the deaths along the border. You don't have to shoot anyone to kill them. A simple lack of water is enough.
