Down right idiotic. I'm all for some better gun control, but this is just a stupid idea.

If Texas wants to put a bounty on women, we should be able to put a bounty on guns. It'd be a lot more effective too.

I'll never understand why we just can't do the exact same things as Republicans do thats within the letter of the law (hopefully spirit-ish but letter is the main concern)

Illegal migrants employed? Texas bounty

Illegal guns possession or production? Texas bounty

Abuse of religious tax exemption or religious political activism? Texas bounty

Seperation of church and state violations? Texas bounty

Get the direct witnesses to trash some scratch for the trouble and watch the streets clean themselves

Republicans literally hunting women

Liberals: "if only we could disarm women, things would be better."

as a non-American, do I even dare ask what you're talking about?

A while back some Texas lawmakers wanted to offer a reward for turning in women seeking out of state abortions. I think that's what the commenter is referring to.

Oh right that. Some of Y'all are nuts.
