| 2023-09-29 | |
| [FoxNews] Washington Post detailed how Texans 'take guns fishing, to church, the park, the pool, the gym, the movies — even to protests at the state Capitol' A new report from The Washington Post seemed to marvel at the sheer number of guns that Texans have. In an article published Tuesday, reporter Molly Hennessy-Fiske provided an in-depth look at how much Texans value their firearms, opening it with the claim, "To live in Texas is to live surrounded by guns." The piece, titled, "In Texas, guns are everywhere, whether concealed or in the open," provided a litany of settings in which guns are present for citizens.

| #12 A large number of criminals also get shot down here all the time. You'd think they'd move someplace safer for their kind. |

| #11 Kids used to take their guns to school and shoot dinner on the way home. School shootings were unheard of. So were trans kids, Ritalin, etc, etc. |

| #4 But now put yourself in a Thug's looted Nike's or Jordon's in Texas. You walk into a store to rob it. You now have to wonder if that 80 Granny, that mom with a baby stroller, or the handicap in the wheelchair is going to cap you the second you draw. |

| #1 They didn't go to Texas Courthouses and read old 1800's property deeds, during the years of Comanches, marauding bands of outlaws and Mexican army raids, if you refused to agree to the wording to "protect and defend" your deeded Texas land during the frontier days then Texas didn't want you. |
