wants to talk about he "heard" ANTIFA and BLM wanted to invade homes and wants to shoot them. Uh huh.
Good people of TX, tell me how this Asshat got elected? I haven't paid much attention to him, but is this the kind of nonsense that got him elected?

They still outnumber Dems by about a million here. The gap is closing but not quite as quickly as many assume.

If all Texans voted I don't think the republicons would win ever again.


But of course they know this and so they are making it harder to allow every Texan to vote.

2020 was, unfortunately, no exception. We're working on it, but it's a persistent and ingrained problem.

Of course, voter suppression only exacerbates the problem.

Very blue collar neighborhood and they all vote against their best interests all the time.

However, Tarrant County went BLUE this year and voted for Biden-Harris, that's a BFD!

AntiFa didn't shoot anyone this week.

Two white guys did. One, the morning of his shooting rampage, the other, a few days before.

Hoards of people aren't going door to door anywhere. There are not millions of good guy gun owners stopping crimes. No one needs automatic or semiautomatic military weapons. No one.

If Australia can buy back guns, so can we. It's not shotguns and hunting rifles and hand guns being used in these massacres. Start with the low hanging fruit, ffs.

License the users, register the firearms. Well Regulated. Let's really well regulate them. ANything you need to use a gun for, get a license--hunting? license. Self Defense? License. Skeet shooting? License. Caught using your gun w/o a license? fine them so it hurts.

Enough is enough.
