"We’re heading into nut country today." - President Kennedy commenting to his wife Jacqueline on the morning of November 22, 1963
I actually think that a substantial number of Texans are less crazy than the rest of them would have us believe. I don’t think the sane ones want to carry in Walmart. However, carried to its logical conclusion, either the non-loony Texans don’t vote, or I’m wrong and the majority are batshit crazy.
Stupid and crazy and very, very dangerous. Seriously, we need to kick thTexas out of the United States. I wonder what Mexico would want to take it back.
I can vouch that there are actual smart people in Texas. I’ve met both of them.
Life in Guntopia: There’s never a bad time to put more firepower on the street
See, we don’t have the mix quite right. A little more liberty, a little more ammo, a little more alcohol. Now everyone’s locked and loaded and ready to go full Zimmerman. That should protect us all, dontcha think?
The voters who make it to the primaries get to pick the candidates for the general election. Ergo Cruz, Gohmert, Abbot, etc. Throw in voter suppression and misinformed people who think conservatives have to vote R and bingo; a bunch of legislators who can barely retain saliva.
Because with open carry then the good biker gang with a gun would have been victorious!
Haven’t been on today, so could have missed a post about the Texas police saying they’ve received threats from bikers. Read it this morning.
And the dumbass legislators want to expand gun rights after this?
Time to start smacking the NRA.
Why worry about a federal takeover when the biker gangs have already taken over?
Police Departments in Texas must be fuming and going NUTS to think even more crazy criminals in their state are going to have even more guns! Police will be the only group who can keep this from going forward. If they don’t?..Well that will be tough when they get killed in greater numbers, I guess.
I’m wondering what took them so long. When you confront a shoot out in public involving 192 armed gang members, “more access to guns” is such an obvious response it should have been passed and signed already.
When will progressives finally learn that the only answer to more gun deaths is the open threat of more gun deaths?
If we would stop handing out guns like candy we might become a civilized society.
Well yea, more guns would have definitely made that a better situation duhhhh!
Motorcycle gang members killing each other, clearly something that has never happened before and, possibly, a direct result of open carry laws being discussed. Ooooookay…
Of course they are.
Yes…you’re all right…the world is just a huge conspiracy against the wonderful conservative ideals you hold dear…
Please tell me this is satire… Please…
Texas - land of the free and home of the crazed. Don’t mess with Texas? Fuck Texas!
