Well, to be honest, I think we're running out of horses for the year, and we're just about of horses. We're getting a lot of conservatives who are tired of living in Liberalia, so the supply is getting drawn down fast.

That said, yes, here you can purchase all the guns the thumb suckers banned in CA. We don't even have mandatory registration or a state waiting period.

By the way, the horse and gun thing is kind of a joke. It refers to an archaic Texas law that states that a released prisoner, having served his time, at his request must be given a horse, specified provisions, specified clothes, a rifle or shotgun, and 40 rounds for same. The idea was to give the released prisoner a fresh start in life, since he had paid his dues. Few ex-cons chose to become repeat offenders - at least in Texas. (We used to have the two-strikes-and-you're-out idea; first time you go to jail, second time we hang you from the nearest convenient tall object.)

Er, we're running low on horses, and we're just about out of the free guns.
