I think the Alamo is a pretty good symbol of that complete lack of victory by Texas. And I should modify the statement to say that Mexico had successfully seized land that was part of Texas. I'm not quite sure why you'd be proud of the highest gun ownership rates -- where I come from, people didn't need guns to feel safe. I personally happen to be a responsible gun owner, but I've never seen fit to advertise it as an issue of pride. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jackson Crawford" To: "CreedList" ; "Jon" Sent: Friday, August 03, 2001 7:33 PM Subject: Odp: RE: Survey 1 of 2 > What foreign country has ever annexed Texas?And we can defend ourselves, > we've got the highest legal gun-ownership rates in the world, last time that > I checked.
