The last thing any state needs in more liberal moochers demanding free
stuff.
(Reuters<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238165734&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>)
- Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott has a message for New York gun owners:
Come to Texas, and bring your guns with you.
"Texas is better than New York, and New York just gave us another excuse to
say that," Abbott, a Republican, said on Thursday, after ads extolling
Texas appeared on several media websites.
New York
Governor<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=237536565&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
Andrew
Cuomo, a Democrat, signed sweeping gun-control legislation earlier this
week expanding the state's ban on assault weapons and putting limits on
ammunition capacity in the wake of last month's school shootings in
Connecticut.
Abbott, a possible candidate for
governor<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=237536565&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
of
Texas in next year's
election<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=237536565&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>,
used
campaign<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=237512350&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
money<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238669148&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
to
buy ads on websites of news organizations in New York City and Albany.
One ad says in classic Western script: *"WANTED: Law abiding New York gun
owners seeking lower
taxes<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238165734&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
and
greater opportunities."*
Clicking on the ad leads to a
Facebook<http://www.reuters.com/subjects/facebook?lc=int_mb_1001> page
touting the virtues of Texas, including the fact that the state has no
income tax so "you'll be able to keep more of what you earn and use that
extra
money<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238669148&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
to
buy more ammo."
Abbott told
Reuters<http://www.reuters.com/video/reuters-tv?videoId=238165734&videoChannel=118066&lc=int_mb_1001>
the
ads are a "way to tweak our liberal friends up in the Northeast."
"It is tongue in cheek, but there is a deeper message here," he said.
"Texas really does stand as the last bastion of ultimate freedom in this
country. Over the last decade, more than 4 million people moved to this
state, and one reason is freedom and one reason is economic opportunity."
