There a thing in Texas with the state legislature grabbing power every which away.  They claim the federal government is too big to regulate voting rights, equal rights, or the United States military.  They claim that municipal government is too small is handle the health and safety of its citizens.  But like in Goldilocks, state government is just right.

First they tell local governments that they cannot regulate fracking in their own towns.  Now they’re telling us we can’t regulate where idiots get to carry guns.

The Texas Legislature has approved fines for governmental entities that post signs prohibiting the carrying of concealed handguns in areas where licensed Texans are allowed to carry them.

Authored by tea party-backed Republican Sen. Donna Campbell, the plan passed both chambers with little debate, despite opposition from some municipal groups.

Local governments and other official entities would be fined if they post signs that might intimidate license-holders who are within their rights to carry weapons.

Intimidate?  Holy smoke on a barrel are they freekin’ kidding me?  People with guns do not want to be intimidated by a sign.  Why the hell don’t they just shoot the damn thing?

I’m not much of a cowgirl but I can flat assure you that in a contest between me and my 12 gauge versus a sign, I’m gonna win.

Intimidate.  Now we know why they need a gun – they’re wimps.
