This is literally what the civil war was fought over. Southern states making shitty laws and attempting to enforce them over the will of northern states. The south lost the first time, and they’ll lose again.
It was, but people don't just blow without a reason. It is usually a buildup problems until they are too much to take.
In this case, it had a lot to do with the underground railroad and slaves fleeing to the north. The South wanted those slaves back and threatened to split from the north if those slaves weren't returned. The north saw them as people and declined.
He’s not even thinking this through to a logical end. If this is legal (and I really doubt it is) wouldn’t that mean that Texans can be sued by anyone in a state with more restrictive gun laws if a gun sold in Texas ended up being used in a crime elsewhere? What about training? Ammunition?
It definitely is ethically, but I don’t know that every state has legal provisions that would protect it in the same way that something like a heart procedure would be.
Yeah, that’s pretty emblematic of how seriously most of the country’s politicians take mental health 😮💨
To the GOP ones like Paxton, it’s good for deflecting from the need for common sense gun control and for distortions to claim that everyone not exactly like them are unhinged, but when it comes to actually HELPING PEOPLE and by extension all of society (including their precious economy that overwhelmingly favor the rich and powerful such as themselves), they want nothing to do with it 🤬
Texas showing once again that they're for state sovereignty, smaller government and individual freedoms.
Maybe the Texas AG should focus on why they keep charging grade schoolers for felonies and arresting them without a guardian present because they're supposedly all about 'protecting the children', right?
Seattle should pass a law that requires Houston residents pay property tax to Seattle and then seize homes with unpaid taxes and sell them to recoop any unpaid taxes.
There’s going to come a point where I just make actionable threats in plain text as a first response, and the threshold where it would feel morally justified may have already passed.
TX = midling 20% average participation by youth Vote. Anything which doesn't directly address that is blowing smoke, so just ignore that an 8-12 point increase in that number would mean no more R State wide.
what a brave guy down there in Texas, going after hospital people and patients and such.. he must be an example of the type of bravery you find down there in Texas..
