Denied a Gun Purchase

Most border hoppers are Mexicans.. there I said it.

Let me stoke this fire: in the past year I have seen 6 blatantly drunk, drunk drivers. They all had their window rolled down. They were all Mexican looking (I didn't check their passports).

You should here my legally immigrated wife go off on signs in more then one language on large commercial institutions. Like banks.

"I had to learn the damn language when I got here why the hell can't they? Are they stupid or something?"

Yup. My wife and I feel the same way about public signs given in other languages in addition to English. Want to be fair? Hey, immigrants come from many places ... why do these signs come in English and Spanish only? Where are the signs in Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Hindi, Tagalog, Indonesian, etc. etc. ??

Personally, I don't want to see any public sign in my native language because this is not my native country. This is United States and English is the official language.

English may be the dominant language but there is no 'official' language in the United States.

In all fairness, Texas is not an adjoining State. So long as you are a TX resident you're not going to clear any long gun checks in CO (and handgun is not an option)

Sorry but that is wrong. For long guns, adjoining State or non-adjoining State makes no difference any more and hasn't for quite some time now but you are certainly correct in that handguns are not even an option.

So the US does not have an official language, but many of the states do? Am I reading that correctly?

Isn't that backwards? Isn't the OP located in TX and trying to purchase a gun in TX with CO ID (and corresponding .mil paperwork)? Did I miss something?
