In a big win for the Second Amendment, Texas passed open carry this week. At the same time, President Obama announced plans to institute a radical executive order instituting radical gun control. Texas Governor Greg Abbott had a message for Obama:
Even as Obama made his radio pitch, a Texas law letting licensed handgun owners carry their weapons openly in public took effect.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) mocked the president’s latest push in a tweet, writing, “Obama wants to impose more gun control. My response? COME & TAKE IT.”
The phrase is a reference back to the Battle of Gonzalez, the first battle of the Texas Revolution, where Texas patriots fought against Mexican forces trying to seize their cannon. The Texans fashioned a flag out of it, and to this day the phrase is a symbol of defiance against tyrannical regimes. Sound familiar?
