[quote=Anonymous][quote]Interesting. Great cultures were not built by wholesale rejection of new ideas. In fact it's the opposite throughout civilization. Just saying. I am sure most Texans would fly to CA or NY in a heartbeat in order to take advantage of cutting edge medical technology in the event that they need it. I'll bet they would listen to someone who is "not their own". I'll bet they are listening to many, many people who are helping them change their electric grid infrastructure and that many of those people do not live in Texas. I am willing to bet that the influx of people from CA and NYS are highly educated people who are helping to build up their state and their state's economy. Texans may be "independent" by nature, but I doubt this "independence" extends to every facet of their lives.

Almost everybody would fly somewhere in a heartbeat to take advantage of life-saving medical technology. Many from CA and NYS fly to Houston yearly to take advantage of MD Anderson's cutting-edge medical technology. How does traveling to get the best medical attention you can afford apply to gun ownership in and around Allen, Texas?

Are you saying that Texans would listen to what an out-of-state power grid contractor has to say about gun control? Really?

I will take your bet regarding people from CA or NYS "helping" to build up the state. Native Texans almost universally hate these people. I will ask you the question Texans ask people who move to Texas and then advocate changing Texas laws: "If the laws (or whatever) are so great in CA (or NYS), WTF did you move here?"

My point remains. There is no chance that the people of South Texas will comply with a mandate they perceive to be "from Washington" regarding their ownership and use of firearms. Even more, who would enforce such a mandate? Would you join a law enforcement agency to travel to Brownsville to confiscate guns? You would quickly find out how "independent" they are regarding this "facet of their lives."

If you want to make a change, focus on CT (where Sandy Hook is located) or VA first. Stop gun-related crimes here and then maybe the message will be heard elsewhere.[/quote]

It's too bad you cut off your comment that I was responding to. I wonder why?
