Still up to the states to decide how to handle guns -------------------- |

i'd love to see the day some law maker in washington attempts to disarm texas. Washington couldn't disarm us because of the 2nd amendment. Regulate too much maybe, but can't outright ban all guns. I doubt the supreme court would let it fly. However, Texas could theoretically do it... but we are Texas so that won't happen. -------------------- |

i think texas would secede (as the only state in the union still allowed to do so) FALSE We lost that right when we rejoined the Union after the Civil War. ::EDIT:: Even if we could, our economy would go to shit without help from Federal dollars.
