Armed protesters swarm California capitol. Republicans demand law be changed to ban carrying guns.

NYC is far more closely packed where the virus spreads easier in groups, so they cannot be compared. It isn't just about population size, but the density of that population.

Texas has 3 out of this nation's 10 most populous cities. Try again.

Houston, Dallas, and Austin put together have a population of less than 4 million, NYC alone is more than twice that, in a smaller land area. You are ignoring the population density than makes the virus spread faster because more people are packed into a smaller space.

That picture was taken in Washington (you can tell by the WA state patrol patch and bow tie being worn by the policemen) and WA did not pass gun control after it. Fake news rejected!

Are you suggesting the Ronald Reagan did not sign the Mulford Act?

The Dallas and Fort Worth metro areas (combined) are bigger than NYC, if you add in the Houston area's 7M, San Antonio's 2.5M and Austin's 2M they far exceed NYC's population.

People who are not from here have no idea how big the state is and how spread out we are...

Once you get west and/or south of San Antonio it gets fairly empty (with few notable exceptions). About 1/3 of I-10 (from FL to CA) is in Texas.

Huh. Wonder what was different. One difference: they weren't demanding the right to spread a deadly virus.

Is there some idiotic reason you think people today should think and act like people from 1 party and 1 state acted 53 years ago? Tell me...are you such a complete and total mindless democrat puppet that you are capable ONLY of regurgitating party comments and are responsible for any and every stupid thing democrats have done throughout history?


I mean...you GET thats the kind of mindless stupidity you are trying to peddle...right? Are you so completely vapid that your entire existence is expressed in a bad meme you werent even smart enough to think up yourself?

You forgot San Antonio's eight million in the metro area. Houston, Dallas, and Austin have a little more eight million together.

Please tell the truthg.

Many businesses (especially restaurants and bars) will be unable to operate (profitably) with a reduced occupancy rate which is being offered as a "viable" compromise.

Some don’t have the property to do it and and others are just managed by bad business owners. Lots of examples of businesses here doing the right thing and adhering to the rules. One bad actor stands out which was reported by concerned citizens and has since had multiple violations referred to the City Attorney. Now the owner is whining in the media that it’s unfair because the department of health didn’t “cut us any breaks” and he operated at a loss despite packing over 1,000 people onto his patio over two days.

This (fairly) nearby watering hole has a decent chance since they have a large outdoor area:

San Antonia has 1.5 million people by the 2018 count.

The NYC metro area has a population of 18 million people in a 3400 square miles. NYC by itself is 302 square miles. That population density is why the virus spreads so fast and it can linger in clouds and on surfaces for up to 4 hours, where many other people can unknowingly become infected.

I don't know how or why some people just cannot comprehend that fact?

I am trying very diligently to limit my use of sarcasm, that is my first language.
