Why can’t we lobby to allow Texas to secede?
At one time, our democracy was the best and safest place to raise children.
If Texas did not permit buying two assault rifles and nearly 500 rounds bullets without asking any questions as to why this killing gear was being purchased, 21 lives would not have been lost last month in Uvalde.
If an assault rifle was used to down a deer, that deer would be ripped to shreds. Those who had to witness the remains of Uvalde’s children will be traumatized for life.
The bleeding hearts of Texas Republicans will never replace the forever-bleeding hearts of that community.
When the Constitution was drafted, the Second Amendment was concerned about revolutions and single-shot muskets, not an individual with a weapon that could rip children’s heads and bodies apart.
