Waco was not about a firearm stamp. It was about dampening the zeal for the Patriot movement at the time. It was a total Fed bureaucrat disaster, idiots like Jamie Gorelick and Janet Reno did that.
You are talking about 1 small group. Texas is huge and those who will keep their guns are many.
Remember, the Texas revolution started when Santa Anna tried to take the guns away.
Remember, during Reconstruction they tried to do the same in Texas. That was short lived and did not work well. Texas was a hazardous place to peddle such crap then.
It still is now.

By the way, did you notice that Remington is “expanding” to AL? The reality, they may keep some manufacturing in NY (for a while) but eventually they will move completely.
Why are the ComDems so desperate to disarm us? Just look at those examples where it was done before.
No, Texas is not going to be disarmed.
Don’t give up yet.
Bad choice! Future son-in-law’s parents moved to NH 20 years ago. They are now complaining about MA residents moving into the state as pointed out by another Freeper. Should have gone south in a right-to-work state where people don’t just have a motto but act as well.
“Remember, during Reconstruction they tried to do the same in Texas. That was short lived and did not work well. Texas was a hazardous place to peddle such crap then.”
The Reconstruction government put in a new Constitution that neutered the right to keep and bear arms. When the carpetbaggers were kicked out, the new state constitution of 1876 left in a loophole for the legislators to “regulate” the wearing of arms. That is why Texas had very limited legal carry of firearms for the next hundred and twenty years, and why it still does not have open carry of sidearms today.

Correct.
Some things are changed slowly.
Freedom lost is hard to regain.
We lost a lot in the Civil War/War between the states. Yes, it ended slavery, but it would have been better for everyone if it could have been ended without war, like in Brazil.
Or so it seems to this poor mortal.

Well those folks have to learn to put their socialist thinking to the curb just like the junk they are not planning to to take with them.
