The focus of the reports in the wake of the raid was “guns in private hands are bad”.

The war being waged is anti-gun, not anti-drug.

And an earlier Houston “Republican” DA tried to infringe on state gun rights saying he didn’t care and would challenge it to the state supreme court if necessary...

Does Houston want a clear container placed on the outside of the car, holding a gun, while the owner is driving?

Actually, I wouldn’t mind that!
