Would your opinion change if a nuclear bomb was detonated in Houston, TX?

  A nuclear bomb has not been detonated in Houston, TX. But nice straw man.

  Nope. In fact, the thing that would bring the best rest to my soul would be the expectation of my fellow citizens to pick up the next day where they left off. You win by showing your opponent that whatever they do it does not matter. That's true strength. You know how many rigs, refineries, and lives we've lost building our energy sector? How many times Galveston has gotten back after getting wiped off the map by hurricanes? We're strong, we're stubborn, and we rebuild and recover from any disaster without giving into fear. That's the legacy I want to leave.

  Is that the sort of scenario that keeps you up late at night? That isn't normal. Normal people do not spend their time worrying that Texas is going to get nuked. You should probably talk with somebody about that.

  No. If your morals change because you're scared, they aren't morals are they! Laws should stem from values, not your worst fears. We shouldn't trade freedom for security, and especially not phony security.
