      Do Texans realize that their reputation in the rest of the country is a loud barking dog completely neutered and chained to a post.

      They keep electing Cruz to represent them, they realize they’re a bunch of crybulies who are softer than baby shit right?

      Texas is a paper tiger. The entire state is privatized to the brim. This means that while they own a bunch of guns, they don’t have the opportunity to really train because they’re only allowed to shoot in indoor ranges or a private outdoor range, usually both with overly strict restrictions. This is particularly true in many red states.

      In blue states, there’s usually large swaths of public land that allows you to actually LARP as a militiaman without owning land privately because it’s free. There have been Californians and PNW chuds moving to Texas only to realize they can’t shoot more than 1 shot per 20 seconds anywhere
