Here's the problem, though. Such actions by the platforms would be expected, albeit dubiously, if what they sold could loosely be interpreted as a firearm or part. Arrowhead Tactical Apparel, however, sells clothing. True, their product like does look like it would appeal more to firearms owners than not, yet that is where it appears so nefarious. When guidelines are open to interpretation, it doesn't take much to see this circumstance and as what looks awfully like profiling.

It�s time to clean up this mess & stop looking like a banana republic!� Trump Jr. said in a tweet.

Burt's local activism, on behalf of local Marines and vets and with the fire department, likely gave him a head start with local voters, since many already had some reason to know and trust him. Burt ran a largely Republican-friendly campaign that emphasized the Second Amendment, new ideas in education, and making the state more attractive to diversified industries without relying on taxes and regulations. He was especially against any attempts to pass "red flag" laws that might allow unelected officials to "come in and confiscate guns, and put the burden on the [citizen] to prove they meet legal requirements to get their guns back."

Last week, the U.S. Senate confirmed Judge Amy Coney Barrett to the United States Supreme Court. And although she�s not from Texas, Judge Barrett is Texas.

It is hard to imagine another state possessing the same grit, determination, and fortitude as Texas. The lores of Texas are legendary; from famous battle cries (�Remember the Alamo�) to outlaw cowboys, the Lone Star State epitomizes the individual standing firm against all odds.

The lawsuit, filed in October 2018 on behalf of then-20-year old Tanner Hirschfeld and then-18-year-old Natalia Marshall, asked the Western District Court of Virginia to declare the gun act unconstitutional and to stop enforcement of handgun and ammunition age restrictions.

When Barrera asked them why they wanted to support Trump, he said they told him they loved America, were very pro-life, pro-Second Amendment, and they wanted less government.

Barrera also said a major factor was Starr County�s economy further devastated by the pandemic.

�People want to work. They�re very proud about getting a paycheck,� Barrera said.

Hilda Garza, the Starr County Democratic chair, said it wasn�t a fluke that more Latinos supported Trump, but rather it was bound to happen because of the lack of jobs.

Some of the new regional nations are obvious: the West Coast and Hawaii; the Plains Tier, stretching from Idaho east to Iowa and south to Oklahoma; the Northeast, down through Virginia. Texas can raise its own seventh flag; Alaska, its second. Adding Indiana and Ohio to the solid-red New South leaves us with a four-state Great Lakes nation.
