Take cover!
Sorry, I really couldn't resist saying that.
Onto the issue at hand:
Just Texas being Texas.

So, any word on if tampons were thrown? Now that this restrictive abortion law was passed?

Reading around the subject, I'm not seeing any mention of any being thrown.

In fact, the only places I can find rumours that they were GOING to be thrown, are freerepublic and an anti-abortion site called lifenews... which seems to have been all the 'evidence' Texas needed to start searching people.

Which I find quite worrying. And bizarre. The same people that argue guns are just tools, and that it's the person who is the problem, and that you shouldn't disarm someone without specific intelligence they intend harm... are taking tampons away from anyone with a vagina, because they heard a rumour.

Well I'd say there's legal precedent to start shooting state senators in public, at least in some sort of Texas gun law anyway. Just do it where there's no witnesses and scream for help a lot and it probably would work.

[Geadland]

What kind of morons allow people to carry guns into a legislative assembly? That alone is ridiculous, never mind the fact that they're not allowing tampons to be carried in.

[Desperate Measures]

If I'm in the gallery for a long time, chances are I'm going to have to change my tampon so I don't get TSS, or bleed through.

Hide tampons in the magazine of a gun. Get something high calibre and you can put a couple in the barrel too.

I just can't get over that this would be the solution that works.

Two words sum up that stupidity:

It's Texas.

Hell if they allow carrying a rifle or a shotgun into the chamber...

Not only would it work, you get to skip the queue.

And once inside, I bet those tampons launch.

Maybe Congress should expel Texas from the USA, until it learns to be sane. Then once it is sane, then it can re-enter the USA.

Hmm, imagine it's chucked out Florida for the whole "Ban Internet Cafes" thing, and Texas for this, and perhaps California over the finances and West Virginia for... I forget what, but I'm sure there was some reason mentioned not so long ago.

...anyway, eventually the United State will find itself a little lonely. Either that or Washington DC will have to work out how to describe its situation at the centre of zero states. Which might depend on whether Puerto Rico remains unejected...

(Although, given the apparent idiocy of politicians, I think the reverse question might be more relevent.)

And make sure the senator is wearing a hoodie.

[Breadknife]

To be absolutely fair, they are throwing them at people. That's no good, protesters, that's no good.

In light of the message shortly before this one I'm replying to that they were bringing in them, glitter and a jar of faeces to apparently throw at people, I'd say that the tampons (unused) would have been my most favourite item to have had thrown at me (glitter being a close second, but a lot easier to miss some in my hair and make me look like I'm a Drag Queen in civvies).

And pretty too (though not as pretty as the glitter, admitedly, the problem with that being range) with a number of them slowly arcing overhead like deformed shuttlecocks, strings trailing behind...

[Breadknife]

It's Texas. (I wonder if most people there believe they're in the biggest state, Bad Joke I know )

That upstart Alaska, right? Pushing Texas into #2 spot.

What ought to happen is that they take Alaska and cut it into two half-sized states. Then Texas would be in the #3 spot, still behind both Alaskas.

Now that I think about it, this probably could work with a large(r) gauge shotgun. Just fill the shell with some tampons.

Or make a gunbag out of pads.

There is not much that can be said about his action. WTF?!?!?!?! Just about covers it.

It seems in Texas, they are confiscating tampons and pads if you want to enter the senate gallery. They are afraid women might throw them at the legislature when they vote to significantly restrict women's rights in the area of reproduction.

However, you can still carry your weapons.

Obviously a tampon or a pad is a much more dangerous weapon than a firearm.

Don't forget a combat knife with a menstrual cup sheathe and the contraceptive gun lubricant.
