Texas AG pokes New Yorkers

Quote:
Attorney General Greg Abbott Wednesday launched a Google web ad campaign inviting New Yorkers who feel their gun rights are threatened by a new law just signed by Gov. Andrew Cuomo, to move to Texas where they will have the right to bear arms, and, with lower taxes, more money to buy ammo.
The provocative web ads, paid for with Abbott campaign funds, will appear as a pop-up on screens on a variety of media web sites, including that of The New York Times, for those accessing the sites in Manhattan and Albany.
“Is Gov. Cuomo looking to take your guns? Sick of the media outing law abiding gun owns? Are you a lawful NY gun owner seeking lower taxes?” reads one of two pop-up ads.
A second reads: “Wanted: Law abiding New York gun owns looking for lower taxes and greater opportunity.”
Click on either and you are directed to a Facebook second amendment petition page with the greeting: “You’ll fit right in here in Texas!”
It reads: “Here in Texas, you will have the liberty and the opportunity to achieve your dreams. On top of that, we have no income tax, yet still manage to have a multi-billion dollar budget surplus. We have right to work laws and a reasonable regulatory environment. Texas has created more than 275,000 jobs in the last year alone! And we’ll fight like hell to protect your rights.
“You’ll also get to keep more of what you earn and use some of that extra money to buy more ammo.

I lived in Texas for a while, honestly it was the best state I lived in; ever.
Wonder what the ultra-conservative state will do with the influx of rude ass new yorkers.
At least there will be more small business

NY is a big state. Some towns have such a conservative feel to them, Texas probably wouldn't be too much of a stretch.

We will do our best to put the Yankees in jail or kill them. Ask the people who moved over here after Katrina how that worked out.
