Quoted: The left isn't stupid. They know once Texas goes blue they have a lock on politics. Texas is the last thing keeping what's left the American Republic intact. Once Texas goes blue it's over. Which is why corporations, invited here by Rick Perry, are basically gerrymandering Texas with people from Blue states on an industrial scale. What were some of the most solidly red counties are starting to shift to blue. They aren't building all those brand new apartment buildings through all the nice suburbs of DFW, Houston, San Antonio and Austin for nothing. I have lived in the DFW area for more than 25 years. The levels of enrichment even in the nice parts is really starting to build. I recently drove through 2 north suburbs of Dallas that I hadn't visited in a few years, I was shocked at the demographic change. Remember how CA and IL were great places to live in 1980s. They are just doing a rinse, wash and repeat on TX now. View Quote We live in a very nice suburb of DFW. A couple of days he told me that they were building too many apartments in our area and that it was getting close to bail. Once the apartment dwellers reach parity with the home owners you are fucked. Once Texas goes blue, the nation is fucked. Been fun while it lasted boys. I will be waving the come and take it flag as the liberals storm the Alamo. |

Quoted:
yeah I've been looking to sell a gun to a terrorist... still looking.. View Quote I hope the walls do not close in on Texas, but some many of the guys from TX have been pissing on other states about their laws and their corrupt politicians, but every time someone raises a warning about the shift in demographics that is taking place in TX, and how once the major cities go blue it is all over, those same guys lash out by saying that will never happen. Sometimes I wonder if people remember that Texas had a democratic governor, Anne Richards. Your former governor Perry and now Abbott have been running around the country saying come to TX as we have no state income tax, no red tape, and how it is great state for business. No doubt their campaign has been working as TX has been getting flooded with leftist companies and employees from Cali, the NE etc. I hope the good people of TX smash Abbott hard for this and stave off this onslaught from the left. |

Is anyone surprised Greg Abbott isn’t standing up for gun owners?
Seriously, though, I’m not surprised at all by this. The tide is turning against the freedoms we have enjoyed to own military style weapons. This was the endgame all along for the right and the left. Your phone calls and emails will do nothing. These people don’t answer to us anymore. Vote them out if you think that matters. The next one will just pick up where the last one left off. |

I will be waving the come and take it flag as the liberals storm the Alamo. And what a better way to keep Texas Red then their politicians going for anti gun laws. Additionally, the generational and demographic changes within the country are happening. More and more Americans honestly aren't Pro Guns in terms of it being a Civil Rights issue. They are happy with Grandpa's bird gun and Dad's deer rifle or they keep a LCP in their sock drawer or center console as a magic talisman to ward away bad guys. Even the minority of Americans that have carry permits don't carry regularly. Additionally, with regards to gun rights. The NRA is a shining example of apathy. 5 to 6 million members, 2 million of which are voting eligible. Less than 150k of them actually voted in the last BoD elections. Less tha 1% of all gun owners in the US are politically involved in actually fighting for gun rights. Hiw many fought gun control in Colorado? How many showed up for free pmags when Magpul left Colorado? How many showed up to fight Rick Scott versus how many went to the Tampa gun show to horde more lowers, ammo, and mags? My experiences in the industry and community has been eye opening on a numb of things. The biggest is that people are lazy and worthless for the most part. |

The other point to make is that this won’t end criminal access to firearms but will simply create another contraband item for South America to export across our porous southern border. We aren’t an Island nation like Australia and the UK...we border the third world...this will create black market opportunity. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

Shall not be infringed. View Quote Wanted to do a private sale through Texas Gun Trader. Guy wanted a bill of sale and a pic of my LTC because “that’s what everyone should do.” He pointed out the El Paso shooter got his gun through a FTF sale. The mentality is being shaped that private sales are a loophole which needs to be shut down. |

View Quote The city with the most job creation from May of last year to May of this year? Dallas at 3.2% job growth. That's double the rest of the cities in the nation. In that period, over 80,000 new jobs were created and Ft Worth had 18,000. That's nearly 100k new jobs created in the past year. Is it any wonder transplants are headed for Texas in droves? We're victims of our state's great economy. |
