    how was he making fun of his handicap? just because abbott is in a wheelchair doesnt mean he has no penis.

    also, you made fun of paul pelosi for being attacked in his own home and falsely accused him of being gay so you have limited credibility when calling out others for making fun of someone.

    Texas has the least restrictive gun laws in the US by a wide margin. ATF used to send out a massive phone book sized book of each states gun laws to FFLs. Texas was literally one page front and back.

    Searches for virtual private networking (VPN) software briefly spiked in Texas this week after Pornhub suspended service in the state over a law forcing adult websites to verify the age or identities of their users.

    The four-fold rise in Google searches for tools that can circumvent the state-level blocking suggests the law may already be having unintended side effects, days after a federal appeals court upheld the legislation and said it could remain in effect.

    Visitors with Texas IP addresses who visit Pornhub’s website are now presented with a full-page message calling the Texas law “ineffective, haphazard, and dangerous.”

    “Until the real solution is offered, we have made the difficult decision to completely disable access to our website in Texas,” the message reads. “In doing so, we are complying with the law, as we always do, but hope that governments around the world will implement laws that actually protect the safety and security of users.”

    Search interest in VPNs began disproportionately rising in Texas Thursday compared to the rest of the country, according to a CNN analysis of Google Trends data — quadrupling in the hours following Pornhub’s announcement before retreating slightly by early Friday morning.


    While Google Trends merely shows correlations between events and is only useful as a gauge of relative search interest for a given snapshot of time, the immediacy of the search spike, coupled with its concentration from within Texas, highlights the potential connection between the law and Pornhub’s users.

    A link “seems pretty likely,” said Evan Greer, director of Fight for the Future, a digital rights advocacy group.

    “The apparent spike in VPN searches in Texas shows that these types of age verification laws aren’t just unconstitutional, they’re also silly and ineffective,” Greer said. “Just like millions of people in countries like China, Russia and Turkey evade their government’s draconian online censorship regimes using simple tools like VPNs, now we see Texans doing the same to get around their own state government’s invasive rules.”

    what are you basing that on? your gut feelings? Westerns? Memes?
    Gifford Law Center (anti Gun group) ranks Texas at 31 out of 50.

    It's middle of the pack and was more restrictive than average for most of my life.

    1. I can legally buy a gun in a parking lot.
    2. Texas is the only state you can own a supressor without a tax stamp and not violate state law.

    ATW is great at pointing at others, not so good at introspection.

    Here is what the ATF says about the BS you overheard somewhere and instantly believed? Please try that and report back.

    The passage of Texas House Bill 957 (HB957), with an effective date of September 1, 2021, has generated questions from industry members as to how this state law may affect them while engaged in a firearms business activity. HB957 claims to exempt silencers (also known as suppressors) that are manufactured in Texas, and which remain in Texas, from Federal firearms laws and regulations, including the federal registration requirements. However, because HB957 directly conflicts with federal firearms laws and regulations, federal law supersedes HB957. In summary, all provisions of the Gun Control Act (GCA) and the National Firearms Act (NFA), including their corresponding regulations, continue to apply to FFLs and other persons in Texas.


    The fact is 9 states have suppressor bans, the ones that don't are all the same.
    https://www.nationalguntrusts.com/b...on-database-blog/nfa-items-permitted-by-state

    So by this metric, Texas is not one of the top ten most restrictive states. Like I said, Texas is in the middle of the pack for gun rights.

    There are guys in prison because Kansas (a less gun restrictive state) tried this years ago and it didn't work.
