You didn’t answer my simple question.

The SNOWFLAKES in The UK & elsewhere would “have a HISSY FIT” if they knew that here in Texas (and in about HALF of the US states) that licensed citizens CAN/DO carry concealed or unconcealed firearms into most EVERY building, whether public or privately owned.

Personally, I carry my 9mm handgun in an ON-THE-BELT holster virtually all the time, unless I’m going to the Post Office.

“If shooting actually does start, it will be used as an excuse for even more draconian restrictions”

That’s a perspective that some share and some reject. I reject.

The notion of not hitting back because it will make the attacker mad and he may hit you again is not rational.

The protestors don’t really have a beef with the legislators. Their beef is with the Governor.

It looks like they had all the bases covered.

Only the ones who are Chinese Agents or fellow travelers. It’s so easy to spot them. They’re the ones who sound like Americans but talk like foreigners.

These people took the time to answer the question for themselves that I asked of you.

You, of course , can duck the question, but you’re WAY out of line criticizing them for their answer.

You won’t even give one.

I agree.

This is a message that needs to be applied to our federal govt as well, IMO.

I’m not advocating violence unless necessary.

Applying this pointed message in D.C would provide a well needed dose of fear that Congress needs to experience.

Not hardly - I have actually carried a rifle for real and have shot other men and been shot myself.

There is no rational reason to carry a rifle to a statehouse unless a shooting war has already broken out.

Who were they planning to shoot? The police? Each other?

The Brits should know about this since guns worked when they tried to act like they owned the place.

LOL! Made me go back and re-read the original excerpt. It looked a little like the name of the 'scared' legislator, but I'm pretty sure I'd have remembered her name if it was spelled the way you spelled it.

These people are absolute morons. Chancellor Whitmer was losing support in the polls every single day. Now she can be an object of national sympathy next to these screaming retards. Face palm.

You lack critical thinking skills.

They weren’t planning to shoot anyone.

When we fly loaded bombers out to faraway places we are demonstrating our ability to use force, so that we don’t have to.

If you need some help connecting all of the above thoughts together, and you’ve demonstrated you might, just let me know.

Good on you, siding with the Leftists... Perhaps you are right, maybe you WILL be on the last cattle car to the camps. But there is no doubt you and the people who think like you will be on that train. Do some research, you will be amazed.
