AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) – Texas Governor Rick Perry on Friday said a gun manufacturer that has decided to leave Connecticut should “come on down” to the Lone Star State.
PTR Industries, a maker of military-style rifles, threatened to leave Connecticut after the passage of one of the toughest gun-control laws in the United States. Connecticut enacted the measure in the wake of the Newtown school shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six adults.
“Hey, PTR,” Perry posted on Twitter on Friday. “Texas is still wide open for business!! Come on down!”
The Connecticut law bans high-capacity ammunition clips of the kind used in the December school shooting and adds to the firearms covered by the state’s assault-weapons ban.
A second Connecticut gun company, Stag Arms, a maker of AR-15 style rifles, is also threatening to leave the state. The companies are being wooed by officials from gun-friendlier states such as Florida and Arkansas, as well as Texas.
“We want to send a message that Texas is wide open for business, whether you’re a weapons manufacturer or whether you’re a tubular steel manufacturer,” Perry told reporters in Austin on Friday.
“There is still a place for freedom that is very much alive and well,” the Republican governor added. “That place is called Texas.”
Let’s be clear; Texas is turning into the economic powerhouse that Fornicalia used to be. It is doing so by lowering taxes, minimizing regulations, and wooing businesses from states possessing more onerous tax and regulatory rates.
The only kind of jobs built by government are impermanent and enslave people. Blacks, Mexicans, Caucasoids and the like, believing that they deserve more Free Cheese, are simply subjugating themselves and cannot think themselves out of their plight. Unfortunately, they are either too greedy or too ignorant to aspire to higher planes.
I can only hope that Texas possesses the infrastructure to handle the additional businesses and economic expansion, such as electrical generation, water and so on.

Money flows to where it is welcome.
Texans beware. The Progs are now working on implementing the “Colorado Blueprint” in Texas.
WSF, and what does the CB entail — ?

Big money used to recruit organizers, Craigslist the main recruiting tool. Mainly young unemployed who can be manipulated and exploited. Gain control of both House and Senate. Focus on the population dense areas. In Colorado, the big push was suburban women.
Texas is big but……. Get the majority of Houston, Dallas/Ft Worth, El Paso, Austin, and San Antonio; could you get overall control?.
Recruiting adds look something like this.

Here’s hoping a LOT of them move out… Hit those states in the pocketbook!!!
The Libtards, *Progs* have been trying that bullshit for years, key word, TRYING… At this point in time they can play games in Dallas, Ft. Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio, the rest of Texas has that so far outnumbered that they are simply pissing into the wind…
New Hampshire would love to get those jobs too, but I doubt our demorat governor will ask for them. We are one of the least gun controlled states in the nation—AND we also have the LOWEST murder by firearm rate. Compare that to Chicago!
Joe, he’s a Demorat so = he couldn’t care less. He’d simply view that as pandering to Bidniss. You guys are just lucky that Mexicans can’t spell New Hampshire.

I spent a year and a half working in southern Vermont, going down at 3:00am Monday and coming home Saturday night. During that time period, they caught 14 illegals erecting a walmart 4 miles from my house, doing the same kind of work I was doing! Yeah, a few have found their way up here too. Just like frigging COCKROACHES!! Come to think of it, isn’t that where roaches came from too?
