Gov. Perry tells CT gun-maker to “come on down” to Texas
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!” “There is still a place for freedom that is very much alive and well,” the governor added. “That place is called Texas.”
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. Reuters has the full story here…….

“But with the gun bill just passing and his finger printers [embedded] in the cement – I can’t support this total disregard for our constitution and our personal liberties,” she wrote.
