Gunmakers moving to TX.

"There is still a place for freedom that is very much alive and well," Perry said. "That place is called Texas."Read more:*Gunmakers aim for greener pastures as states pass new firearms laws | Fox News

<crossing my fingers> I really hope these companies make good on their promise to leave for greener pastures. That would send a pretty big message to the pocketbooks of these Liberal states...

Good For Texas. Bad in long run for entire country. As more people and companies quit those places, there is less incentive for them to support our rights. While some of their constituency is employed and tax dollars comes from gun related production it keeps the ambitions of the anti's in check. It will only hasten that regions already alarming slide into darkness and loss of their 2nd Amendment rights. In the long run this country will become more divided on this issue, and those highly populated sections of the country will gain the upper hand.

As a selfish Texas, I applaud the moves. As a US citizen I see loss of advocacy in those areas disturbing.

Maybe Texas should show how serious she really is, by becoming an unrestricted carry state!

When companies first threatened to move out of Liberal nests, any sane individuals would have sent negotiators to their offices to see how the split could be repaired. Not so Liberal Lawmakers! Those Knot Heads just kept pushing and daring the companies to leave.

As crazy as that may seem, it gives us insight into what makes the enemy tick.

Liberals are focused on THEIR position and don't give a damn about anyone else.
Liberals feel that ANY cost is sufficient to implement their Liberal agendas.
Will of the people is totally ignored.
These bills could have been placed on a ballot to allow the citizens to VOTE on them....but they don't care what the citizens think.
The Liberal initiatives are not even based upon safety. This is all about control.
Bills were put together in secret without citizen input then rammed through the voting process. Hitler would be proud of them!
Conservatives have been quiet and Liberals have interpreted that as weakness. Payback will come!

Most liberals don't know the first thing about business or the economy, for that matter most politicians of any flavor don't. All they have to do when they need more money is raise taxes, and they are never forced to maintain a budget.
