Texas gun bills taking us back to Old West days

What would the old west have been like if only criminals had guns?

[DainBramage]

Bob Ray is the race baiter of Fort Worth. Always has been. He very seldom says any truth about the problems in his community.

Why doesn’t Bob Ray move to New York or California. That’s why the founders set up a federal system.

Out of curiosity, how many children were killed in “gallop by shootings” back in the wild west days?

[Spok]

Hmmmmm-the Old West days. Like when people took care of themselves, respected one another, had jobs, went to church and considered decency a virtue? Those Old West days?

[philman_36]

It makes me wonder if that’s where we’re also headed with public education — back to the days of the one-room schoolhouse, and the townfolk waiting for the new schoolmarm to arrive on the afternoon stage.

Hyperbole. Kids were smarter then. Bob Ray Sanders proves it with this "opinion" piece.

“The author of this article is a moron. A liberal moonbat moron, who does not understand history nor the truth that a more armed society is a more polite and safer society.”

Ole Bobby Ray got a lot of things wrong; including his disparaging comment about “returning to one room school houses”. Actually students of those one room school houses would do quite well if tested by today’s tests, especially if compared against today’s counterparts.

“After dinner I’ll tell you I know about this Tarzan, Flash Gordon person.”

[PAR35]

All the liberals should vote with their feet and flee Texas before the shooting starts.

[IronJack]

THIS old myth again???? For cripes’ sake, you’d think the Ministry of Propaganda could come up with something NEW for a change!

[Smokin' Joe]

...the incorrect legend of the old West.

Yep, the schools worked better and were cheaper then, too.

[Jane Long]

BTTT!

[Ironfocus]

Like most of the sideline commie bleaters, Bob Ray here chooses to whine and seek attention. If he is so worried about the demise of public schools (which will be sooo much better if only more money is thrown at the teachers unions, right), why does he not quit his insignificant job as a whorenalist, and go mentor, teach or start his own school? But like most ideologues, fixing problems is for someone else.

Or he can get the hell out of Texas. I don’t care where he goes, as long as he goes.

[TADSLOS]

Back in the day, Bob Ray would have been considered to having bad manners and dealt with appropriately.

[demshateGod]

The old west days? Yeah, I remember reading about all the knock-out games, Mohammedan sleeper cells, youths shooting babies in the face in their cribs in Old Abilene.

[Smokin' Joe]

Actually students of those one room school houses would do quite well if tested by today’s tests, especially if compared against today’s counterparts.

In reading, writing, and arithmetic, I'd bet on an eighth grader from a one-room schoolhouse over the average High School graduate of today.`Chances are the Eight grader would do better at History and the classics, too.

[Licensed-To-Carry]

You’re right, and I bet he liked it.

[al_c]

There are now only 6 states that prohibit open carry. Did these pundits have anything to say about the old west when the other 43 states allowed open carry? And what about the ones that allow it without a permit?

[pallis]

Those were better, safer days. Get on back to them while the getten’ is good. Go Texas!

[demshateGod]

He may well understand all of that and just be a demagogue. Or, he may be a Black Liberation Theologian who wants blacks to keep killing white babies while they sit in their strollers.
