Neon Nettle-
Gov. Greg Abbott (R-TX) has vowed to defend Texans’ gun rights by declaring that he intends to make the entire state of Texas a “Second Amendment sanctuary.”
The move from the Republican governor comes amid mounting fears about the safety of Americans’ constitutional rights as anti-gun Democrats seize power in Washington, D.C.
“I want to make sure that Texas becomes a Second Amendment sanctuary state so that no government official at any level can come and take your gun away from you, despite those people who said, ‘Heck yes, we’re going to take your gun,’” Abbott said during the Texas Public Policy Foundation’s 2021 Policy Orientation.
“We’re gonna say, ‘Heck no, you cannot take people’s guns away in Texas,’” he said in a self-censored reference to Beto O’Rourke’s anti-gun quip during his presidential campaign. read more

“What are you waiting for Go Desantis? And the rest of you republican governors too!”
…not DeWine in OH. He’s carried too much Democrat water as a GOPE, and I think he’s angling for a post in the Harris Administration anyway after he finishes wrecking the OH economy with FakeFlu mandates, so it’s a nonstarter HERE…
Well if we can have sanctuary cities for illegals, then we can have sanctuary cities and states for legal American gun owners.
meant governor DeSantis
There’s moving vans still out there!
Oh and by the way,don’t fret about high gasoline prices coming, you won’t be able to drive a combustion engine powered vehicle anyway!
The gas price are shooting up here in NY. Travel will fade.
While Kentucky is overwhelmingly conservative, we’re stuck with dufus Beshear, who’s like the weird uncle you you avoid at holidays. In fact around here, we call him Uncle Andy. I won’t hold my breath for sanctuary status in the state, though our county has already so declared.
Maybe a good first step Gov would be to stop inviting the 100s of 1,000s of locusts pouring into Texas. Once they reach critical mass, any 2A concerns you have won’t matter.
10,000 people/month move in to the DFW Metroplex alone. Ft Worth, like CO in the 80s, looked immutable. It’s located in Tarrant County, a once SOLID RED county. It went for Biden.
Yeah, I’m sure there was fraud involved. None the less the trend is unmistakable.
@sns: Mike Boxwine did sign the expanded stand-your-ground bill recently, but only because he didn’t want the publicity of a veto.
A good step. But we must track to make sure it happens.
Our nation underwent a coup – there’s a reason armed troops occupy our capital. We’re a banana republic, now.
We need to get out.
I’d prefer to make them leave.
More redundant bullshit that shouldn’t be necessary in the first place. It’s either a constitutional right or it’s not.

Will he nullify the 68 GCA and the 34 NFA? It would be a good start. Both are as unConstitutional as the day is long.
I can’t wait for the subsidized housing to go up in upper class liberal communities so they can enjoy all their wonderful new neighbors.
My property is a 2nd amendment sanctuary.
Government employees not allowed.
Insist on the Constitution – every issue, every time.
Repeat the truth more than they repeat the lie.
Try getting rid of commie gun-c*ntrol dicksuckers in TX gubmint 1st. Constitutional carry or FOAD.
As far as I’m concerned, until Abbott recants & rescinds all of his unconstitutional (and unscientific) Covid strong-arming, this is just more BS flavored corrupticrat hot air being expelled out for the gullible!
He lost this Texan at his refusal to call a special legislative session to review his ‘temporary measures’ and discuss the entire scope of the problem and solutions. Abbott will have to sincerely, verifiably, walk the entire Constitutional walk for a very long time before I ever get back in his corner again.
Besides, it certainly flies at right angles to his expressed interest in Red Flag legislation.
Man, I really wish we could clone Gov. Noem.
