Texas Rising

It's nice to see Brendan Fraser and Bill Paxton in major roles, I thought they were long gone.
 
I'm trying to think of revolutionary war that wasn't decided by guns.
It provides a historical perspective on why Texans will probably never surrender their right to bear arms. The gun protected Texans from Santa "No Quarter" Ana. The gun protected the homestead from attacking hostiles. The gun defended the South from President Lincoln's invading federal troops. Most recently, the gun protected Texans from maniac Muslim attackers.
 
Famous Texan sayings about Immoral

Loose as ashes in the wind.

She’s just naturally horizontal.

He was all over her like ugly on an ape.

They’re hitched but not churched.

He was born on the wrong side of the blanket.

They ate supper before they said grace.
 
Part 2 was SHIT as well. Had to fast forward again and just gave up. Terrible acting to boot. I dunno how this craptacular show got made.
 
What happened to episode 3? I turned on the History Channel last night and they were airing "Swamp People".

Nothing to do with revolutions. Nor with logic. Guns don't defend; people do that. They also murder with them. And Texas breeds its own murderous maniacs.

I think you're trying to make some point about this inept TV drama, and the oft-noted link between America's gun-worship and its revolutionary-war birth pangs, but it isn't coming across. Santa Ana's killings were done with guns; Native Americans were slaughtered with them to 'open' the land for whites; The South attacked the Union with guns and started history's bloodiest war up until that time (your Muslim maniacs haven't come close before or since).

It's not about guns; it's about the morons and murderers — be they fools or felons — who can so easily get them. Because they cannot resist using them.

Since you opened the side-issue.
 
Trivia question: The yellow rose (made famous by the song "The Yellow Rose of Texas") is the state flower of which one of the states in the United States?
 
IIRC, anywhere in the South.

And the North. Open carry is allowed almost everywhere except NY, Illinois, California, Florida, South Carolina and DC. Texas is a late-comer to open carry. But for NY (prohibited) and Minnesota (permit required), open carry without a permit is allowed in all states bordering Canada. Actually, contrary to misinformed and erroneous stereotype, gun laws have historically been stricter in the South than in the North (excluding Illinois and New York, whose state politics are dominated by Chicago and NYC).
