102. 2nd amendment mythology re: ann richards texas gov

pablo marmol: The Ann Richards vs. George Biush case would be a prime example. Richards showed contempt for her constituency when she vetoed concealed carry twice, but particularly the second time when it came up by referendum..

You don't know what you're talking about. YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT.

Ann Richards vetoed a request for a referendum on concealed carry, once, because she had majority texas support for disallowing concealed carry - early 1990's polls showed texas DID NOT WANT CCW, like 55% no, 40% yes iirc.
She vetoed the referendum request due the polls showing opposition to ccw, on the basis a referendum would be a waste of taxpayer money just to prove the polls right that texas did not want ccw. Texas LEGISLATURE, not the 'will of the people' rammed shall issue ccw thru.
PABLO DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE"S TALKING ABOUT. FOS pablo.

The incumbent Democrat, Ann Richards, had vetoed a 1993 bill to permit a statewide referendum on allowing Texans to carry concealed weapons. Mr. {GW} Bush pledged to sign such a bill...

.. Suzanna Gratia Hupp, who subsequently led a spirited and well-financed public campaign for a Texas concealed-carry law. A veto threat from Governor Ann Richards blocked the bill during the 1993 session, though the Legislature did pass legislation calling for a referendum on the issue. Governor Richards vetoed that bill.. George W. Bush’s victory cleared the way for concealed-carry legislation during the 1995 legislative session. http://notevenpast.org/george-lege-part-4-concealed-weapons/

pablo: The stupid infuriates.

You sure do. Retract now & stop believing in 2nd amendment mythology, & right wing bull****.

pablo: Her supporters knew that blue states such as Oregon, Washington etc. trusted their citizens.....so they were easy to flip by Bush who made CCW part of his platform

Huh? translation please.
