Gov. Greg Abbott’s visit to a shooting range to sign a bill into law got big attention when he took some target practice and made a crack about journalists. “I’m going to carry this around in case I see any reporters,” Abbott said with a grin as he joked with journalists covering the event, after he was given his target sheet. There was little attention paid to the remark at The Range in South Austin, where Abbott posed for a photograph.

Kinda brings the idea of all those snowflakes being “triggered” to an entirely new level. I like it.

Get those guys who are catching snakes in Florida.

They’re already trained to deal with journalists.

When the Ship of State rights itself the only question that will remain is who will be led up the steps of the Gallows first, the Journalists or the Politicians.

The Journalists are attacking a Man in a Wheelchair? Wow...

Well, if the Governor isn’t able to Body Slam them, at least he can run them over.

But the reporter who “got body-slammed” can tweet that he wants a 16 YO punched gets a pass?

“When people are offended this easily, body-slamming will not cure them...”

I love Governor Abbott, but he’s not going to be ‘body-slamming’ anyone...glad he has a gun!

As a Texan, I hope my liberal relatives in the bay area see this article.

“I’m going to carry this around in case I see any reporters,” Abbott said with a grin as he joked with journalists covering the event, after he was given his target sheet.

His meaning was clear.

If a reporter approaches him, he would hold the target sheet against his body and say “are you going to target me?”

That's my story and I'm sticking to it...
