(I) was commenting to someone the other day (improper to split the object of the action from the verb) at a gun show, (require a comma to join separate clauses) that (missing pronoun) they (had) better bring more to the (")dance(" - quotes used to indicate that this is not really a dance but a term used as a metaphor) than they had done (poor use of past participle) in Nevada; (missing semi-colon to indicate attachment of a separate clause) if they want to "take on" (again, quotes used to indicate a metaphor and not the actual action) (the) patriots in Texas.
What's good for the goose...
