Texas Threatens to Arrest Any FEDS Who Try Enforcing New Gun Regulations!! | |
| Anonymous Astrophysicist User ID: 1312328 01/15/2013 08:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Auto assault weapons are illegal except for military. So ......... wtf are you talking about?? Clueless much?? Low info shill -- go squeeze your zits. Technically one could legally own a fully automatic firearm with a Class III permit. That's true, but I'll bet there isn't even ONE instance where one was used to commit a crime. I think to get the permit you have to have an open door policy for home searches. No all states have law prohibiting the possession of automatic fire weapons, and in any of those states there is no legitimate law preventing you from owning them. |

Yes, that includes US citizens born outside of Texas. That's a real good way to get the only people supporting you (Other states) to turn on you real fast.. Dumbass. |

Rednecks absolutely despise educated and intelligent people, making the probability of Texas putting up a real resistance highly unlikely. They will be shooting each other over religion ,race and stupidity and that's what the feds are counting on. |
