        The issue with this thinking is that it ignores that elected officials are proposing this legislation at all, usually to whip up support in their voter base. Which means that their voters want it, or they believe they do. Some part of the population wants it to happen, and those people are dangerous to us whether bills like this pass or not. Texas still belongs on a “do not travel” list, even if there are internal enclaves of sanity and compassion within the state.

    Might as well start putting us on lists. Remember to arm yourselves folks. Not just that, learn how to use said arms as well. No one else will advocate for us.
