Rats. I forgot to address that in my retort. (It has been published at the Ammoland site, but not his "slow facts" website.)

For those interested, Eugene Volokh (and others) are helping CalGuns with this: http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/volo ... r-signs-2/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

It's just Texas bashing.

When confronted with something bigger, more powerful, and/or that stands out, it is human nature to try to diminish it with over-amplified criticism of real and especially imagined flaws. You see this in the international press about the US in general, and I ran across quite a bit of it when I was assigned to NATO. When talking about states in the US, Texas is an natural target. It is a attempt to deal with one's feeling of inferiority via lashing out. I made a politer reply at both the blog and ammoland, but I what really want to say is "Thbbbbbbt!"
