Greasing the slippery slope.

In Abbott’s defense, if the Second Amendment, written by God Almighty, gives you the right to carry a gun, then it only stands to reason that you should be allowed to shoot people with it. Otherwise, why bother?

On the other hand, this business about "fees’ to carry a concealed weapon sure sounds like tyranny to me. I don’t see anything about fees in that Second Amendment, Governor.

Maybe Donnie’s right about a wall. Wall off the Red States and stop sending them the Blue State tax & GDP revenue they so dearly love to suck up.

Oh, come on – Be more productive than that! I’m carrying mine around in case I see any Texas Republicans. Since Gov. Abbott has declared it hunting season on innocent people, at least I am concentrating on the troublemakers.

”Some on the right have found the alleged assault comedic…”

If they think that’s funny, they should hear the one about Gabby Giffords.

It’ll bring down the house!

Interesting article, considering the source. Maybe this is what Abbot (Asshat-TX) is shooting for?

Why are so many journalists being killed in Mexico?

I bet if we start joking about shooting politicians we get a visit from law enforcement. Joke about shooting reporters no problem. God I truly hate Republicans.
