New Yorkers wouldn’t have to worry about violating the law if they mistakenly put 8 bullets in the magazine (via The Lonely Conservative)
(Reuters) (Greg) Abbott, a possible candidate for governor of Texas in next year’s election, used campaign money to buy ads on websites of news organizations in New York City and Albany.
One ad says in classic Western script: “WANTED: Law abiding New York gun owners seeking lower taxes and greater opportunities.â€
Clicking on the ad leads to a Facebook page touting the virtues of Texas, including the fact that the state has no income tax so “you’ll be able to keep more of what you earn and use that extra money to buy more ammo.â€
Abbott told Reuters the ads are a “way to tweak our liberal friends up in the Northeast.â€
“It is tongue in cheek, but there is a deeper message here,†he said. “Texas really does stand as the last bastion of ultimate freedom in this country. Over the last decade, more than 4 million people moved to this state, and one reason is freedom and one reason is economic opportunity.â€
Let’s not forget that the fools who wrote, and voted for, the NY gun law forgot to exempt the police from the 7 rounds restriction, and now have to go back and fix that.
