If that's how they think, hope they're feeling lucky, what with there being so many powerful handguns out there and all.

But it's coming:
These came up on YouTube for some reason - the comments have to be read to be believed.
P.S. Worryingly, this appears to have become the sort of thinking of a large slice of Trumpism, so much so that Trump himself is becoming almost "establishment", according to Peter Wehner, notable Republican anti-Trumpist:

Speaking of Texas, more total bananas:If history is a guide it shows us that middle class and poor Americans with guns usually kill other middle class or poor Americans. The directors of Enron were not shot when they swindled many Texans out of their retirement savings. The Sackler family have not been gunned down for profiting from the opioid overdose tragedy. Unfortunately the "right" people are rarely on the receiving end of the summary justice they so richly deserve.
I presume neighbouring states will see a steady stream of women seeking abortions, in the same way that the UK mainland used to see Irish women.Perhaps it's time for women to move away from Texas? I have long wished that we could airlift all Afghan women who didn't wish to live under the Taliban, and then let the Taliban slowly go extinct. I now feel the same about Texas.
The problem is that Texas is a big state and people who want abortions are usually at the bottom end of the earnings graph. And most of the neighbouring states are occupied by knuckle-draggers who also desperately want to return to the Pleistocene.I presume neighbouring states will see a steady stream of women seeking abortions, in the same way that the UK mainland used to see Irish women.
. It's basically a function of misogyny and men's requirement to control women and their bodies.
Isn't the USA en route to that? A good cartoon from Anne Telnaes in today's WaPo sums it up nicely:That and a Victorian (or Puritan) attitude toward pre-marital sex. Since, to them, sex is only for procreation, there should be no such thing as an unwanted pregnancy. The American Taliban would legislate that if they could.
I've long had this suspicion that the real purpose of the abortion banners is to provide a more target-rich environment for school shooters.More gun McNutters. Texas almost deserves its inevitable future mass shootings.
You tube has a system for comments, the uploader of the video can edit them, remove them etc. If your comment is removed its removed for everyone but you, you think its still there. No doubt there have been plenty of comments to contrary of what is there but were removed.
Also, wtf.
"If these companies comply with the Democrat order to turn over private information, they are in violation of federal law and subject to losing their ability to operate in the United States," the California Republican said in a statement he posted to Twitter. "If companies still choose to violate federal law, a Republican majority will not forget and will stand with Americans to hold them fully accountable under the law."
McCarthy's office would not provide CNN with a specific federal statute that a company would be in violation of if it complied with a duly empaneled congressional committee.
Surprised if the media don’t react to this. In the U.K., the media is all about protecting the interests of the powerful, including themselves as they are usually owned by the powerful. Any politician making threats against the media is cutting off the hand that feeds him.McCarthy obstructing justice:

Apologies if already posted. The specific threat is, with regard to telecom and social media companies and the investigation into the insurrection:
Suggestions are that this is an empty threat with no legal basis, but it's still shocking how far things have slipped that the House Minority Leader thinks he can get away with this.

I'm afraid that this is the way the US as a whole seems to be going, and it will all end in tears, or hails of bullets, or both.
