Both states can go to hell. They're both ruining Colorado.

Texans, believe it or not, are far worse than Californians in outright obnoxiousness.

You clearly have not had the "pleasure" of living with a Californian who has just moved to Texas in the middle of July.

I haven't. But it can't be any worse than every campsite taken over in the summer by Texans and being stuck behind them in the mountains while they're driving 35 mph in a 55.

Then those who want Australia style gun control should move there, right?

They don't have gang race wars because no one is scared of gangs and an armed society is a polite society.

Why can't we have that? Is it the Liberal whites who don't want Houston in LA?


MS-13 cleared out of Austin, all that is left is some rat gangsta wannabe's.

Yeah, but you know they have a right to complain. Texas summers are frickin brutal.

Maybe Californians can't take Texas seriously when they want to secede from the US every other year.

Well, I suppose that would be the case if they did. However, people who want to secede make up such an obscure minority its not worth discussing.

Try looking up facts before posting garbage.

You seem a bit emo. Are you okay?
Dude, seriously. Youre making stuff up about things you dont understand.

Texas and Houston have a HIGHER murder rate than LA and California and even that has nothing to do with guns. Youre painting Houston as this city where everyone carries and the overwhelming majority of people in Houston DO NOT carry. In Texas only 30% of people own guns and that rate is lower in the cities.

Hell, Texas isnt even in the top half of states in gun ownership rate.

Hilarious, can you imagine any gang member evacuating their territory because they fear the locals being armed? Deluded fantasy notion.
