TEXAS GOVERNOR CHALLENGES OBAMA ON GUN CONTROL: "COME AND TAKE IT"Governor invokes revolutionary battle cry in defense of Texans' Second Amendment rights
“Obama wants to impose more gun control,” Abbott tweeted Friday. “My response? COME & TAKE IT.”
The Republican governor’s statement comes amid announcements the Obama administration will act later this month to impose stricter rules on the selling and purchase of firearms.
The president will meet with Attorney General Loretta Lynch Monday to discuss what actions can be taken to circumvent the Second Amendment without congressional authorization, the Washington Post reports.
The new rules will reportedly seek to require private sellers to conduct background checks, as well as prevent people on the no-fly list from being able to purchase firearms.
Meanwhile, Governor Abbott has made a strong show of support for Texans’ Second Amendment rights.
On Friday a new law came into effect allowing licensed citizens of the Lone Star State to openly carry holstered pistols.
The phrase “come and take it” was emblazoned on a flag flown by Texian forces during the Texas Revolution, chiefly at the battle of Gonzales, where Texian rebels revolted against the Mexican army and challenged them to retrieve a cannon loaned to them for protection.

I was hoping Obama would be prevented from returning
to 'work' tomorrow...
Isn't there some nice locksmith that would be willing
to change the locks tonight on everything they
have access to?
More wishful thinking on my part.
I did ask '007' if he had ever heard of
the Dick Act of 1902, and that he
should 'know' better.
He never answers my e-mails..
