I applaud the brave decision the Texas government has made. I've been saying for years that we should legally restrict the choices that women are allowed to make, and hunt down those that enabled their decision-making.

In all honesty, though, we're watching some Texan death throes before they flip purple/blue in a few years. This type of thing is a gift to anyone in their great state trying to energize young people to get out to vote.

I get the excellent sarcasm, but isn't this an avenue to sue gun manufacturers? Typical government shortsightedness and the law of unintended consequences?

What you wrote is exactly what John Roberts wrote in his dissent.

Seems like a logical take, but I'm no legal scholar. Although, according to some present day logic, I am now basically the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court.

The Sandy Hook families are suing Remington and while not Thee Supreme Court, the Connecticut State Supreme Court allowed it to proceed despite the gun manufacturers arguing that Federal law did not allow the case to proceed.

I did read that the case is allowed to proceed, and the recent information requests by the gun manufacturers. Could the Texas law and specifically the private enforcement rights be applied to guns? Did Texas inadvertently shoot itself in the foot, so to speak?

I for one am looking forward to being able to sue people in other states for being unvaccinated despite having absolutely no standing. Looking at you Kirk Cousins.

Knock Texas all you want, but there would have been no Jerry Springer Show or Sally Jesse Raphael Show without it. Florida can't do everything, you know.

IANAL, but...

If a Texas doctor is akin to a gunshop, then the pharma companies are the gun manufacturers. Someone in Texas needs to sue a pharmaceutical company.

Going to be hard to top that.  Have to imagine it would put Ted Cruz in a tight spot railing against it while his constituents demand it, however

If we can get Ted to support it, Cancun Cowdicare literally rolls off of the tongue.

Remington is going all in. Now they are demanding the scholastic records of the 5 and 6 year olds that were murdered.

For real.

Given what 45 said about Ted's wife, maybe he's more into Bovine relations than we know of, not judging, of course

Doesn't address the fact that Heidi Cruz would rather be married to a box turtle

You all know Texas can divide into 5 states. Would not surprise me if DC became a state.

I find it amazing how much concern some people have had about Afghanistan in the last 2 weeks, but the last 20 years......................not so much.

Well they care now thanks to Biden and the asinine way he left the country.  People actually care about 13 serviceman getting killed when a total of zero were killed there in a year in a half.  And they also care about the stranded Americans there, as well as Afghan SIV's.  They additionally care about the weapons we left and the fact that our "over the horizon" capabilities are limited at best with no intelligence forces in the region.  And lastly, believe it or not, people care that women and girls, who have spent 20 years living with basic freedoms, will now have all of their rights taken away from them or be murdered by a terrorist regime.

Some things yes, some things no. However we gave the taliban almost nothing in terms of military gear. They will not be able to maintain the vehicles or air support. The guns are a dime a dozen.
