The hurdles “lawmakers” make to register to vote, register to drive a vehicle, but none of that is necessary when it comes to guns. Although in Texas you can vote with a gun permit. Go figure.

I had to jump through hoops just to renew my drivers license. Bring birth certificate the whole 9 yards. This is all intended consequences of hating people you don’t like.

Tis a pity Texas has to continue to endure these pathetic people who can’t learn the teachings of the man they claim to represent. Unfortunately, they haven’t learned the lessons at all.
