It'd save time instead of having twenty dumps a day

The real constituency here

there is a reason they are mandatory in several European countries.

And silenced rifles are still very loud - they are only truly silent when using special sub-sonic bullets. Hollywood has given many a distorted idea of what silencers can actually do.

the drug racketeers would never consider acquiring such weapons.

Did you even think before posting that jem?

a gun-controller, but not for a pro-2A poster? I'm confused about the "alert" process, and don't want to fire too many blanks and suffer some kind of consequence.

So, a clarification: Do you, Kolesar, think the real constituency (in this group) is a "drug racketeer caucus?"

Sad watching DUers acting like Republicans after PBO's re-election...

While simultaneously implying that we're a bunch of sociopaths?

Political failure sure makes people bitter....

Go peddle your slanderous horseshit somewhere else.

Not much of an achievement. But fun nonetheless.

The characteristics assigned to Texas can be said about MOST states! Why let Texas get all the credit?

Tax stamp and paperwork and all that? The article makes it sound like Texas is unique in legalizing ownership.

We go through the same procedures as anybody else. What the complaint is that the local LEO's are willing to sign off on the application.

That is why they are pissing all over themselves.

You mean all we have to do is put it up for a vote?

favorably impressed by the comments of the Univ. Police Dept. as well, but whichever professor is in charge of introducing A & M students to the Constitution (and the Declaration of Independence) may need to expand that lecture:

As for my take on it, I see no reason whatsoever why students who are legally entitled to carry off campus should be prevented from doing so on campus...

clutch at them

It is stupid some other states have laws on the books that limit ownership of firearms.

Finally you are getting it!

Congratulations we are very proud of you here.

See boys he is finally learning .

There is no state firearm registration...

Awesome! The second amendment is about countering federal military power. Registration undermines that ability. Go Texas!

...no limit on magazine size or ammunition purchases.

Yay Texas!

Class III weapons, including suppressors, machine guns and short-barreled firearms, are legal.

Of course, all federal laws still apply, which means a $200 tax plus the going rates for machine guns start at around $5000 these days.

Since the expiration of the federal assault weapons ban, Texas places no restrictions on “assault weapons.”

Yay Texas! Especially since all rifles combined only account for about 300 homicides annually.

Texas is a “castle doctrine” state, a “stand your ground” state and a “peaceable journey” state.

Yay Texas!

A&M policy currently allows concealed carry on campus, but not in university buildings.

Yay Texas A&M!

“This hypothesis states that when goal-directed activity is blocked, frustration and anger are aroused,” Bodden said. “However, violent action is not likely to occur unless ‘aggressive cues’ such as guns, knives and weapons are present. If present, the odds of aggressive action go way up. If we go a step further and assume that the frustrated person with a gun has also been drinking and is an impulsive adolescent, then we have a recipe for disaster.”

First of all, there is nothing, I say again, nothing to stop impulsive, drunk adolescents from going on a shooting rampage on a college campus right now. Making it legal for adults 21 years of age or older to carry concealed firearms on campus is not going to change that fact.

When Professor Amy Bishop came to my campus building and shot 6 people, killing 3 of them, the rules did not stop her at all. She went home and got her "aggressive cue" and then went forth on her mission to kill people on campus.
