Greg Abbott, the Texas Attorney General, has sent a message for New York gun owners: “Come to Texas, & bring your guns with you.”
“Texas is better than New York, & New York just gave us another excuse to say that,” Abbott, a Republican (you didn’t guess?), said yesterday, after several humorous adverts singing the praises of Texas appeared on East-Coast media websites.
Democratic New York Governor, Andrew Cuomo (come on, you didn’t guess that one either?), signed new gun-control legislation at the start of the week expanding the state’s ban on assault weapons & putting limits on magazine capacity & type of ammunition that can be purchased.
Abbott, a possible/wannabe candidate to be Governor of Texas in next year’s election, used campaign money to buy the ad space on websites of news organizations based in New York City & Albany.
One ad says in classic Western script: “WANTED: Law abiding New York gun owners seeking lower taxes & greater opportunities.”
Clicking on the ad leads to a Facebook page listing the “virtues” of Texas, including the fact that the state has no income tax so “you’ll be able to keep more of what you earn & use that extra money to buy more ammo.” (sic)
Abbott has said he will file a federal lawsuit to throw out any nationwide gun restrictions implemented by Congress.
Sounds like a very very nice man, & possibly one who is heavily armed…..
