HOUSTON - A group of mothers protested outside of the entrance to the Houston Zoo Saturday after a new rule states guns are no longer banned at the zoo.

The demonstrators are part of a group called Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense.

we saw the video at the end of my intro tactical knife class. 2 biggest take aways from class: 1. knife fights are not steven segal movies, they are fast and vomit inducing brutal. if they last more than 10 seconds the winner is the guy who bleeds out last. 2, never get into a knife fight.

They would change their minds if a tiger gets loose, and seconds count.

they will be much safer now that law abiding citizens can carry guns at the zoo.....up till now, only crooks, felons, and people inclined toward violence could do so.

Looks like a few of them need to compare the health risks of obesity with the health risk of legal firearm ownership.

In US mass shootings since 1991, when the first person to shoot at the mass murderer is an on-duty policeman, there is an average of 12.4 people killed. When the first person to shoot at the mass murderer is ANYONE ELSE, the average is 4.8 people killed.

Liberals once again choose the path that proves to leave more people dead, as always.

Well, I for one agree with them. Apes and monkeys with guns is scary.

The Houston zoo was violating Texas CHL laws. Changing the “rules” is simply abiding by state law.

“The Houston zoo was violating Texas CHL laws. Changing the “rules” is simply abiding by state law.”

So the title should be:

Moms Demand that Zoo violate law and the Constitution in their quest for Action!
