Bad idea Texas. The New Yorkers will come to Texas and try to make it into New York. I live in North Central Florida. Going to South Florida is just like going to New York.

Aw, Abbott is simply making a point. I think it´s a good one.

How about heavily armed old white guy Marines ? Need any of those ?

#1 is right, New Yorkers ruined North Carolina too IMHO

I love that he´s taunting them.

So long as they leave their lib voting habits behind.

I also have a place in Florida and #1 is correct. I bought near Clearwater in large part to avoid the New York attitude you encounter in Southern Florida. Let them suffer among their own --- they elected these dimwits.

NY is to Fl as California is to Oregon, Washington and Colorado....Liberals are like a bad rash - they just spread and pollute any environment they touch. They bring their perverted politics with them. Oregon, Washington and Colorado have been infiltrated. This is an offer to accept a Trojan horse. There is danger...

I´ve been a New Yorker for 66 years and in all that time I have never voted for any of these fools like Cuomo, Schumer or Bloomberg. So don´t lump us all together. There are plenty of conservative New Yorkers, we just get over whelmed with non-American immigrants in the big cities who continue to vote themselves free stuff and tow the Democrat party line. If it weren´t for the fact that my practice is 32 years old here in NY, I would move to Texas with all my guns in a NY minute.

To poster 1 that is this first thing I thought when I saw this article last night. Too big of a risk of liberals moving here and ruining it.

#3, I believe such are always welcome in Texas. (Just avoid Austin, Houston and Dallas-Ft. Worth, I hear.)

I know if I were an arms manufacturer, like Kimber, or any arms maker in the liberal North East, I would seriously think about moving my business to a more pro 2nd amendment state, probably in the midwest or south.

I´m a native Floridian from the Panhandle and we have always referred to south Florida, especially Miami, as "the northern most suburb of Havana and the southern most suburb of NYC".

#8 is right on. Someone yesterday had a great idea; that new immigrants to a state should not get citizenship for five years to give them time to immerse themselves in a culture before voting to destroy it.
I work with a dunce from Florida who (after two years) STILL tells us how they did things where he used to work. Grrrr.

Besides, if all the good people leave NY the place could get a bad reputation.

Gun manufacturers, welcome to Texas. Conservatives, welcome to Texas, and especially welcome to Austin-- we need you here. Libs, stay in NY-- you really won´t like it here.

What #1 said. Look at the Florida areas that went for jugears. Either college towns or areas over-run by northern liberals. Think Debbie Wasserman Schultz.

Texas, you really needed to tighten your borders and immigration policies with other States (e.g., anyone from the Northeast, Ohio or West Coast should be scrutinized or sent to Houston).

It would be good if the NYers who left went to a variety of states. Spread them thin. Look how the Katrina refugees damaged Houston. Don´t want that.

But it´s possible that people leaving NY because their rights are being infringed will probably be the type of people who don´t like their rights to be infringed. They are welcome everywhere.

These idiots are cutting their own throats and screwing their own constituents....a lot of folks are going to lose jobs over this especially in the blue northeast - I´m glad Texas has put out the welcome mat...hopefully some of these nice folks will relocate there

Bad idea! New Hampshire has been practically ruined by Taxachussetts expats. Sure they flee the results of Liberal idiocy in their home state and they think they are conservatives (which by the standards of Mass they are) but they are still way to the left of the native "Live Free or Die" population and they are slowly but surely making this formerly staunch red state blue.

At the rate the Demon-RATS are going, the only place left in the USA where all the companies listed in #18´s reply will be able to sell their products will be in Texas. So they may as well move here too.

However, I agree that only conservative New Yorkers are welcome to move to Texas.

Lie-berals are like locusts. They devour everything where they are, and then move on to greener pastures where they devour everything there.

We have no use for lie-berals from anywhere else. They won´t like Texas, and you know they will try to change it to be just like the lie-beral ´´paradise´´ they just came from (at least how it was before their lie-beral policies destroyed it)...

Number 18: You forgot Henry Rifles, manufactured in Brooklyn, NY.

God Bless Texas.

Henry Rifles indeed. My .44 Big Boy is my favorite long gun. A real work of art.

My fellow Texans, like it or not, get ready for the blue exodus. Many gun owners are young enough, educated enough to pull up stakes and go. Two docs at work speak of it openly in the Doctor´s Lounge. I think there is a great chance of converting these two men once they breathe that good conservative Texas air!!!

Many many New Yorkers are openly talking about leaving, despite lifelong ties. It´s all the stupid state Republicans´ fault, in my opinion. So weak.

And I, as a new yorker, completely understand the reluctance of you in good red states to be happy about NYers coming on down..... Same thing happened here when all the people from the city moved north after 9/11. Good people, stupid voters. Everything changed.

Love it! IMO the article should have shown a photo of Abbott rather than Perry though. At least I have one AG I can be proud of.

And dittos to those telling #3 to come on down. He would even find some kindred spirits in H-town - say what you want about it, but it´s Ted Cruz´s home base.
