Yeah, I support the 2nd amendment, but I believe that the right to 'bear arms' and the right 'carry arms' are two different things. So if a state says you can carry around a loaded gun no questions asked, I get a little nervous.

I own guns. I am a veteran too. But I do believe in background checks and everything that needs to be done to make sure a gun is not in the wrong hands. I support the 2nd Ammendment. Despite what the right might think, I can say so does the left too for the most part.
I got nothing to say here.

Who's going to care about gun rights and warrants went either literally half the population is a mad-max parody or a sixth of overall kids are dead by some troll from his own ironic comments! Just strip Texas of its mining rights or assassinate Texas council. As Geralt of Rivia said "But if I'm to choose between one evil over another, then I prefer to choose not at all." - The Last Wish, the 2019 show has it better but can't watch past S1 garbage...quite literally with those Nillfguard suits!

I got about two thirds of that, I think, which is more than usual.

Same here and while I myself have never shot a gun I know people that have been trained to (family members that are former military or police officers.)

Things that privileges, not rights, in Texas: consistent power even if you pay for it, heat, air conditioning during heatwaves even if you already paid for it
Things that are rights in Texas: the gun you need to rob people so you can afford to pay your power bill and still freeze or cook to death

What do you expect? There is a reason why people joke that you get a free gun every time you fill up at a gas station. They really love their guns.

Is it possible Texas accidentally saw their Fallout-version of themselves and are tricking themselves to progress the Resource Wars? New Vegas did had a fun mod where you were a post-apocalypse Texan, but the mod is so out of date it hurts to aim and shoot.
