I have a question for my fellow TEXANS

OK, so i have this friend that is from Tennessee, he's a great guy, thinks the way i do about politics and such, but... He likes to give me a hard time about the fact that I just bought 6 M4 style carbine rifles and 2 more that fire AK47 rounds but look like the M4. (those 2 are made by armalite at armalite.com called the AR10, if your interested) Oh yeah, he bought one of those from me by the way. Anyway back to my point here. He keeps saying things like, "Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid are going to come and take your guns because you don't need them for protection that's why the government is here, then take your land away and say you don't deserve all that land because you worked for it. We are going to give it to this guy who doesn't have anything and doesn't want to work." My response to that was simple, I personally don't think she or Harry would get past Midland or Odessa before somebody introduced her to a tall tree and a short rope. We are Texans and we grew up with guns and land and freedom and no tree hugging, terrorist loving, socialist, left wing radical from CALIFORNIA(pffh) is going to come here or go to Washington and legislate our rights away without some serious back lash. Now please don't get me wrong, I am in no way advocating violence against our duly elected officials, however, WE IN TEXAS DID NOT ELECT HER OR HARRY "BALLS" REID. So why should we have to follow their crazy left wing radical ideas? Let's see how well that has worked for Mrs Pelosi so far... Cali has one of the highest state taxes in the country yet operates with a 43 billion dollar deficit this year and had to take bailout money from the fed. Texas has no state taxes yet somehow managed to have a 9 billion dollar surplus last year. hmmmm. Makes you wonder who's right doesn't it. If I operated my bank account with a 100.00 dollar deficit for any amount of time I would be severely penalized by my creditors and I sure as hell can't borrow money to pay off debt, I've tried that, but they say no because they say I don't have enough collateral... I think its because they don't want me to get out of debt that soon because the banks lose money when I pay them off early. So my question is simple... How far up your drive way would Nancy Pelosi or Harry Reid get if you knew that they were coming to take away what you earned to give it to someone in a different state that didn't work and didn't want to? I look forward to seeing these responses.
