"Use a picture. It's worth a thousand words." - Arthur BrisbaneThe guy in the white coat is C.J. Grisham of Open Carry Texas and the other guys are his Posse. Aren't they special? How confident do you feel that they can and will meet the challenges of Wayne LaPierre's brave new world?

Then I found this photograph with the label "gun-girl.' My mind is officially blown. And I grew up in New Jersey. These are the women Texas legislators are trying to take reproductive rights from? Texas, like New Jersey, has lately become one long messy greasy salty popcorn worthy event. I am starting to love Texas.

I'm from Texas, and one of the reasons I like Texas is because there's no one in control.
