One observation from the Pasadena Gun Show yesterday. Lot of folks buying self defense type weapons. Lot of them are, lets say, normally considered locked in voters for the party who currently campaigns and likes to restrict their access to said firearms. Maybe they will vote for the folks who support honest Americans and their 2nd amendment rights come November. Lot of panic out there fueled by the media.
(While it was busy, not a busy as the two previous weekends.)
Another observation regarding this subject.
Quote:
Now, while the black man can be denied a vote, while the Legislatures of the South can take from him the right to keep and bear arms, as they can—they would not allow a n%$#o to walk with a cane where I came from, they would not allow five of them to assemble together—the work of the Abolitionists is not finished. Notwithstanding the provision in the Constitution of the United States that the right to keep and bear arms shall not be abridged, the black man has never had the right either to keep or bear arms; and the Legislatures of the States will still have the power to forbid it, under this [Thirteenth] Amendment. They can carry on a system of unfriendly legislation, and will they not do it? Have they not got the prejudice there to do it with? (Frederick Douglass, In What New Skin Will the Old Snake Come Forth? Address delivered in New York City, May 10, 1865, pp. 83-84 [In Frederick Douglass Papers, series 1, vol. 4).

Fortunately for America, this was addressed in 1866, with the Second Freedmen’s Bureau bill, The Army was tasked with enforcing “full and equal benefit of all laws and proceedings for the security of person and estate including the constitutional right to bear arms.”
This worked until Democrat leadership in a significant number of our major urban areas decided to turn back the clock and try and disarm their constituents from the late 1960s forward.
For those interested, Conroe is having a gun show next weekend. Not in Harris County so no worries about mandatory mask wearing. As in Pasadena this weekend, it's up to you as an adult to make your own choice in that matter. A lot of people were, a lot of people were not.
