“tomorrow they’ll hunt you down.”
They may try.
That crap was tried before here, after the Civil War. Of course they didn’t have the web and social media.
It was also tried in places that some of my ancestors live in much farther east than Texas. Those stories are still relayed by family members to each generation.
But back then weapons were somewhat different too. When caring pistols openly was made illegal, it did not come from inside groups in Texas. It came from occupation bureaucraps.
I'd bet, even as we speak, that any picture that appears on SM with someone holding a gun, is flagged and sent to start (or add to) the individual's dossier.
