God Bless Texas, where common sense still prevails. And I hope Magpul comes down here - we'll welcome them with open arms.
Colorado? Another state I'll write off my list.
This has nothing to do with common sense. It has more to do with good intention and showing the low information voter that you care enough to do something. No issues need be solved. Caring enough to do something is what buys votes.Sad day for common sense. This legislation is just common dense.
Just curious... when are the good, common sense people of Texas, going to do something about Austin?![]()
I think NY set the stage for other states to get away with nonsense laws.

Speaking of a nanny state... everyone remembers Bloomy wanted to ban sodas above 16 once in NYC. It was shot down by the state courts. Now he wants to enact a law that requires stores to hide their cigarettes behind a curtain or under a counter so not to be viewed by young people. What???We're living in a crazy world these days.

Back in the eighties I can remember leaving class at the end of the day and walking to Grand Central to catch the train home. There were hundreds of thousands of people walking around midtown at rush-hour and thousands walking along smoking a joint. As a student I was guilty of it too. There were so many that the cops didn't even bother. That was mostly along 42nd St. between Grand Central and port Authority bus station near the porn theater district. Then Rudy came along and cleaned up Manhattan. The pot busts began and no one puffed as they walked along anymore. NYC has since spent so many millions of dollars prosecuting a joint that it spins one's head. From now on they'll just issue a violation ticket which can be mailed-in.Interesting that Bloomy is lowering the penalty for small amount of pot possession. At least he said that when people get caught with small amounts of pot they usually end up with an overnight stay in jail and that won't happen any more.
Don't know if this is accurate but I was told that His Honor (really) enjoys practicing self defense knife fighting but the city can't change the knife laws so they are "redefining" the nomenclature so that almost any type of carry knife is illegal.
This came from someone in the retail business (guess what he sells, knives) that got it from a well placed source.
Come on guys, you're using derogatory remarks and making it sound like the government official in my home state are nothing but a bunch of liberal jack wagons who need to be booted from office ASAP. Keep it up cause you're RIGHT.
