Seems at least one Texas Dem swallowed the bait...

...on the whole "border gun shops arming Mexican drug cartels" bullshit...

...I support the Second Amendment right of the people to bear arms, including handguns, hunting rifles, as well as other arms; however, I believe that some arms such as RPG's (rocket-propelled grenades), hand-held rocket launchers (bazookas), and warfare rifle-type assault weapons can and should be subjected to regulation and prohibition.
It's pretty frightening that a member of Congress from Texas, of all places, would actually go on the record as saying he believes one can get grenades and rocket launchers from your friendly local gun store. (And of course anyone worth listening to here knows those arms already ARE highly regulated by the .gov.) I guess I shouldn't be surprised, considering a majority of Congress voted to spend more than $700 billion on that "economic stimulus" plan without even having read it, but if Texas Democrats are that ignorant, I can't even begin to imagine how bad it is with representatives from less-friendly parts of the country. As for "I support the Second amendment....but..." well, once again, one would do well to disregard everything before the word "but," it seems.
