Equating gun ownership with sedition and secession is pretty stupid. Go for it, Texas. Your backup numbers are fewer than you think.

There was an article a few weeks ago about how Texas is the least-free state in the union. They have the fewest liberties, yet they can carry guns and that's all they care about.

i would like to add - not even all gun owners in texas are interested in opposing the feds in this case!

Equating gun ownership with sedition and secession is pretty stupid.

If the state of Texas ever went into serious revolt, the first thing it would need to do is flood the streets of Houston, Dallas, and Austin with military police to contain their own domestic insurrection.

Half those gun owners would happily Texas Book Depository Greg Abbott if he was ever in their line of fire.
