Texas Gun Carry Legislation

But I hold the third grade teacher responsible for a failed effort.

In the Houston metro area my belief is that probably about 25% of the folks driving around do not have a valid, current driver's license. And that's probably an underestimation.

Another 25% shouldn't have one at all, if they do. Originally Posted by LexusLover

I think that's accurate. I find myself taking alternate routes often times not only to avoid heavy traffic but to avoid the overwhelming numbers of idiots that are in it.

All for it.

And if anyone's worried about lack of training, the solution is simple - add firearms practicums to public schooling.

Introducing firearms training in that environment, just for beginnings, is a formula for a disaster. Many already include "driver's education" in their programs, and .....

.... so why is it we don't have red light cameras?

LexusLover: Thank you for your remarks on hunting and self-defense as justifications for gun ownership and The Second Amendment . . . you are correct, there is no mention of either.

Yet those are arguments from the anti-firearm gun control left that oppose the ownership of guns they find most objectionable, the so-called assault style rifles.

The only mention of an intended use in the Secod Amendment implies a non-hunting, non self-defense role for firearms in the hands of "The People". Pointing that out was the intent of my statement in that post.

If one wants to get a feel for why the 2nd amendment language regarding firearms was crafted one must study carefully the social and government history of the time that spawned the concerns addressed in the 2nd amendment.

The Brits were confiscating firearms to assure their control over the resisting colonists who were seeking a free way of life without government (British) dictates and control. Etching THE RIGHT to possess a firearm in one's home was of paramount purpose so that the person possessing the firearm would be ARMED to join the "militia" to resist any offensive and/or oppressive regulation of the Free People of what was to be the United States (Colonies).

One of the goals in revising history is to be able to create a justification for New Policies to be dictated by the New Government under the pretense of being "better" for the citizens. Shouting down and neutralizing the voices of those expressing their beliefs that a contrary to the "accepted" philosophy and fabricated truths is a way of suppressing the mention of from where we came and how we have survived for over 200 years. They have to first disarm United States citizens.

Covid19 was a beginning to regulate the social and personal behavior ... restricting interaction among citizens reduces communication and thought sharing .... and .... effectively creates a "likeness" of all citizens by masking their faces and dictating their behavior to destroy independence.

The First Amendment is under attack as well with the Covid19 dictatorial "protocols" .... because we in this country have a right to peacefully assemble ... for any reason .... and in the last year the only persons who have that right to "assemble" are doing so with violence and property destruction facilitated by the governments regulating the police and our criminal justice system.

One should think a moment about a country solely run on electricity. During the recent freeze in Texas the electricity was regulated by the provider to accommodate the conditions in various parts of the metro area. The "utilities" were able to determine who got electricity and when by simply throwing a switch through computer manipulation. That not only regulates conditions, but also communication with one another and with "news" of events ongoing in the rest of the world. Our cell use is now being monitored and will be controlled .... under the pretense of Covid19 policies our personal associates are being monitored .... as long as we use an identifiable instrument. The newest cell/mobile units cannot remove the tracking ability. That better explains the "global warming bullshit"!

Not shocking since universities are Marxism Mills. I didn't have a lot of positive interaction with a lot of my teachers growing up. Peggy Hill from King of the Hill usually fit the bill:

A self-important busybody of a woman who needed to feel like the best/smartest/most important person in the room, living a life of quiet desperation, and needing a room full of subordinate people she can bully and order around.

SHALL NOT BE INFRINGED, very simple the Bill of rights ( first ten ads) are for keeping people free end of story
If any of the bill of rights falls we are done no property right no speech etc

we are the militia!

And sexually frustrated no doubt.

My favorite was in my last year in high school ... in those days teachers didn't wear pants in the classroom (gym teachers wore shorts in P.E. classes out at the gym ... covered inside), and there were no "panty hose" ... just stockings and gear to hold them up. Her thighs were delicious looking and contributed to an interest that continues today. She would sit on the front of her desk and cross her legs while talking to the class at length.

Having been a public school teacher I found fucking teachers was rewarding.

There are two retired, widow teachers living near me. They hide in their homes, but it won't be long to there will be no safety there. Fortunately for them they don't have a long time to survive. Their children are equally helpless.

Hitler wasn't either.

And until these folks no longer have or carry firearms....



... I intend to maintain access to at least one firearm.

And continue to maintain efficiency in usage and awareness.

They want to confiscate "military style" firearms ...



And such LoonATicks as Sheila Jackson Lee are especially interested in removing "50 cal AR15s" .... from public possession!
