“ We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America —
TIME TO GET TOUGH ON CRIMINALS AND OWNERSHIP —
🔘 I am also an ardent supporter of bringing back the death penalty in capitol cases, masses murders, and all we got from removing the death penalty and no pardon severe terms was we softened the treatment of these animals.
The Religious Right need to make a left turn once in a while, they got too much into law, pushed the states and government to eliminate the death penalty. Jesus hasn’t got the time to redeem mass murderers. This is how you get tough—
👁🗨 I want the Death Penalty to be carried out in thirty days.
👁🗨 And in the public, through all forms of media — we have to show consequence
👁🗨 Seems barbaric yes, but a positive influence on the next person thinking crazy.
👁🗨 Closure for the family — they will see they have been respected and acknowledged —
👁🗨 We have 2500 on death row currently and 162,000 in life sentences —
👁🗨 And that is at a minimum of 50,000 a year per convict per year for their life —
👁🗨 They will serve no purpose other than what they can contribute to chaos in the institution —
👁🗨 And many rule gangs out on the street —
👁🗨 Our tax money pays for the jail services, guards, food, medical, clothing not needed anymore —
👁🗨 Gets rid of lawyers who spend our money playing appeals games. —
👁🗨 The best thing for society is to rid a murderer who was witnessed, proven guilty 100% beyond a shadow of a doubt by professional trained jurors who will judge him, not a bunch of hacks or a group of his peers.
👁🗨 We need a better class of jurors — I suggest nine qualified un-biased non-Jesus freaks who are not exposed to the press for commentary and more of an active tribunal
👁🗨 And a word for the Evangelical forgivers — who should believe in what they read in the old testament — Moses and Jesus agreed, here it is: The Good Book mentions it —, should be given a simple choice. “ An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth” was a simple easy to understand decision maker. It prevented people from doing stupid things.
👁🗨 So the state needs a menu — offer the murderer his choice of execution —
HANGING — GUILLOTINE — GAS CHAMBER — FIRING SQUAD — INJECTION —
DO WE REALLY NEED A SEQUEL OF MORE CHILDREN BEING KILLED —
👁🗨 People love redemption if they believe in it, but no one really forgives unless they forget. Closure — And when the occurances is in their family it's a whole new ballgame. Instead, that does not sit quite well, people love religions that forgive, and all bad people think they will live forever, so the evangelicals invented forgiveness, salvation, born again, sounds great. We read in the papers too many times a couple weeks later when someone gets out he’s in trouble again. Too often!
👁🗨 In Texas two decades ago, the famous Ax Murderer who dispatched her husband into twenty-eight distinct pieces was on death penalty for 16 years with appeals and now at the stroke of midnight was to be executed in the prison electric chair.
Arriving on scene was the prison pastor, and his congregation, by bus, came up to the fence, many got off and screaming, singing, and yelling, that while in prison she found Jesus and they should set her free. I do not believe thats in the Texas penal code. They were waiting for a call from Governor Bush to commute the sentence. He was probably washing his pickup truck.
The conclusion — At four or five minutes past midnight the light blinked a few time and then the warden came out and announced, sorry we did not get a commutation. But the good news is that, “ She is definitely going to heaven and I have arranged for her to meet Jesus a lot sooner.
👁🗨 “We learned about honesty and integrity—that the truth matters — that you don’t take shortcuts or play by your own set of rules — and success doesn’t count unless you earn it fair and square.” —Michelle Obama — In arguing over causes of the latest mass shooting, political debate often overlooks the range of incremental steps that could lessen the chances of mass killing and help address the nation’s persistent gun violence.
🔘 And while those experts acknowledge that some of the relatively minor changes might not have prevented the massacre freshest in the public’s mind, they can still reduce mass shootings. Even more, the policies could greatly reduce gun violence overall, which kills more people in the United States than car crashes.
INVESTIGATION — QUALIFICATION — FINANCIAL PROTECTION — CONSEQUENCE
👁🗨 “The idea that gun laws won’t have an impact in reducing mass shootings and school shooting violence is a myth,” as schools, movie theaters, malls, churches are soft targets. Its cowards work, no one can fight back.
But killing, is complex, and to stop it, will require thinking out of the box, and it is more like a multi-tasked process on all accounts to make it work. We need to qualify, process, instruct, background, research, verify gun owners and I have a few unique ideas to solve a few problems.
👁🗨 We have Murder, requiring premeditation and Manslaughter in degrees of Negligence— And we have to create an appropriate title with different rules for Mass Murders. Eliminate the lawyer red tape , delays and bullsh*t. No psycho excuses, no mis-treated as a child, no abuse, just swiftly put the poor bastard out of his misery, and give the families fast relief. I am open to suggestions of new name — annihilation , bloodbath, bloodshed, butchery, carnage, destruction, extermination, massacre, slaying —
👁🗨 Simply requiring guns to be stored safely, for example, or outlawing high-capacity magazines wouldn’t eliminate mass shootings, he said, but “ The idea is to reduce the gun violence.” But without consequence you have gained nothing.
👁🗨 MY CONSEQUENCE — If you are guilty of a gun falling into the hands of a minor, and discharged by your negligence you will be: Charged by the tribunal, no juror trial, professional skilled jurors, fined, loss of your weapon, subject to damages, or possibly a death sentence. If that was the law, after the first offender makes the news — Gun Lock sales will go up.
👁🗨 Accidents fall into two categories — for pure negligence, unlocked or you left it exposed, accessible, in sight, , un-secured, no trigger lock, and a child or minor found it or you kid wanted to rob a convenience store with your gun — you are responsible and pay the price depending if there is an incident, or accident—
👁🗨 Accident rates by stupidity. Lack of training, ignorance, stupidity — The first murder scene you see as a photo-journalist changes your thinking.
👁🗨 Even former VP Dick Cheney had a gun accident hunting with his attorney. He shot at a duck and the pellets hit his attorney in the face He never apologized so the story goes — Cagle Cartoons
👁🗨 09/03/2022 As the new school year ramps up across much of the country a 4-year-old student arrived at a Texas elementary school with a loaded handgun, prompting a lockdown and resulting in charges against their father. ( Story on Angels Lost)
👁🗨 MY CONSEQUENCE - Goodby gun, state takes it away, the father can never own A gun again — list. If found with a weapon, three years mandatory, or 10,000 in fines or five years community service or a combination.
👁🗨 One of my favorite five expressions is stupid people are never satisfied with their results, they will do something stupider to beat their record. Which brings me back to Texans and other Americans who support many of the proposals, according to recent polling. What gets in the way, various experts said, is politics. It's the money they get to stop all gun laws. get rid of those who don’t listen to you.
POLITICIANS AND DECENCY DO NOT MIX --
🔘 In the nearly two weeks since a gunman killed 19 elementary schoolchildren and two teachers and injured 17 others in Uvalde, Texas’ Republican leaders have shunned possible gun restrictions. They say common proposals like universal background checks and red flag laws won’t work. What the hell do they know other than taking bribes.
🔘 After the Uvalde massacre, like the ones before it, a groundswell of support from the left rose for gun restrictions ranging from raising age requirements to assault weapon bans. It was immediately met with a clamor from the right to protect individuals’ right to bear arms, echoed by Texas leaders. Laws won’t stop bad guys from getting guns, they say, so the best solutions are increasing mental health resources in a state notoriously lacking access to such initiatives, fortifying schools and, of course, more good guys with guns.
🔘 In recent years, the GOP-controlled Legislature’s most common response to mass shootings has been loosening gun laws so more people can carry weapons in more places.
🔘 Focusing exclusively on mental health initiatives or fortifying schools won’t adequately address the problem if gun access isn’t also restricted, a variety of experts agreed.“A challenge we face here is that everybody is looking for one answer, one thing. That doesn’t exist,” We’re dealing with very complex phenomena that go in spider webs in so many different directions but all weaved together.”
🔘 “The narrative in our country is that there’s a great divide by gun ownership or political party on solutions to gun violence, and that’s why we can’t get anything done,” Gun policy is mostly political among politicians. Americans, including the majority of gun owners, support evidence-based policy.” Gun Policy is bribes — and Politics --
🔘 For example, a majority of Texans support requiring background checks for gun purchases, including at gun shows or through private sellers — which aren’t regulated in Texas — according to a 2021 poll by the University of Texas at Austin. In February, 43% of Texans surveyed told the university that the state should strengthen gun laws, with only 16% seeking looser gun laws.
🔘 Studies and experts from various fields say less controversial steps short of an assault weapons ban would have an impact on all gun violence. Those include raising the age for legal purchase of a long arm from 18 to 21, as is typically the case for handguns, or banning large-capacity magazines, a move studies have shown can at least limit fatalities in mass shootings.
🔘 Experts also point to successes with red flag laws, which allow courts to temporarily take guns away from people judged to be a danger to themselves or others, and safe storage laws that require firearms to be locked when stored. They have also urged implementing universal background checks.
🔘 “There are certainly measures that could be put into place that limit access, whether that be raising the age or some sort of background checks or waiting periods,” Perdue said. “No one thing is going to prevent it from happening, but I tend to come down on the side of if we can put some measures in place that can prevent one or two, it’s better than nothing.”
🔘 Going through background checks or having to wait several days to buy a gun, he argued, isn’t an infringement on someone’s Second Amendment rights.
🔘 “Guns are a part of our natural fabric of being Texan, but some things have changed,” Society’s changed, and we are at the point where we’ve got to look at it from a total complexity perspective.
🔘 An effective response to prevent future gun violence would include layers of checks and barriers aimed at preventing different types of bad actors from getting their hands on guns that could inflict mass damage. A background check may not stop all potential shooters, he said, but laws limiting their access to assault weapons or large-capacity magazines can decrease the fatality rates.
FOLLOW THE SCUMBAGS AND MISOGAMISTS — 2016
THE PERFECT TEXAS CABAL — ABBOTT — CRUZ —
LUCY STEIN OCTOBER 12, 2016
🔘 The Texas GOP scumbag list hasn’t changed in six years. They have legislated a shockingly similar brand of misogyny for years. And corruption, Misogamy,Bribes and now lots of dead people and children. You the voter didn’t do a damn thing and some of the blood is on your hands.
🔘 After audio of Donald T-RUMP — 2016 — the Republican nominee for President — bragging about sexually assaulting women surfaced over the weekend, Texas Republicans feigned shock and great acting condemnation.
🔘 But these are the same men who have been imposing a shockingly similar brand of misogyny — legislating control over women’s bodies, undermining women’s economic independence, and demeaning the bodily autonomy of Texans — for years.
🔘 These politicians have dedicated themselves to denying women their right to determine their own reproductive future, preventing women from getting equal pay for equal work, and exploiting fear of sexual assault as a means to deny transgender people their rights.
🔘 So let’s take a look at the leaders of the Texas Republican Party who are standing by their racist, xenophobic, misogynist candidate for president who likes to “ Grab them by the pussy.”
🔘 Sorrowfully we must claim that TEXANS are not that smart — and voted for T-RUMP — you get the scum you vote for.
US SENATOR TED CRUZ — We’ve said it before, and we’ll say it again: Ted Cruz is the worst. Before reaffirming his support for Trump, Cruz took to Twitter to express his sham moral outrage: “These comments are disturbing and inappropriate, there is simply no excuse for them. Every wife, mother, daughter — every person — deserves to be treated with dignity and respect." What. A. Crock.
From limiting sexual assault prevention and abortion and birth control access, to undermining equal pay protections and paid family leave laws, Cruz — a man who in his own words sees women only as an extension of men, their wives, mothers, daughters — treats women with zero dignity and respect:
- Cruz voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act, a law aimed at combating domestic violence and campus sexual assault.
- Cruz wants to outlaw abortion and force every woman to carry her pregnancy to term.
- Cruz wants to deny women access to affordable birth control, by letting employers control their employees’ reproductive health care decisions and by repealing Obamacare.
- Cruz dismissed the need for equal pay for equal work solutions and voted to block the Paycheck Fairness Act.
- Cruz complained about how his campaign schedule left him with little personal or family time, but thinks employers should be able to deny employees paid family leave.
- Cruz tried to shut down the federal government to defund Planned Parenthood.
TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT — Not to be outdone, Gov. Abbott took to Twitter to do the impossible — create distance from Trump while sticking by his side: "Deeply disturbing rhetoric by Trump. An insult to all women & contrary to GOP values. Absent true contrition, consequences will be dire." Contrary to GOP values, eh — Both before and during his tenure as Governor, Greg Abbott has amassed an impressive record of insulting women:
- Abbott campaigned alongside his “blood brother” Ted Nugent, an admitted sexual predator.
- As a judge, Abbott repeatedly sided against victims of sexual assault and rape.
- As Attorney General, Abbott was on the front lines of using a bogus “protect women’s health” justification to deny Texas women their constitutional right to access abortion care.
- As Governor, Abbott is leading the charge to outlaw abortion and undermine women’s access to reproductive health care in Texas. Bypassing the legislature, Abbott cut Planned Parenthood out of the state’s Medicaid and HIV programs, and launched a rule that would force women to hold funerals for their fetal remains.
- Abbott opposes legislation that would help women get equal pay.
FOLLOW THE MONEY
REPUBLICANS WILL NOT AGREE TO ANY OF THIS — LISTEN TO SENATOR TED CRUZ —
SENATOR TED CRUZ — A TRUE SON OF TEXAS AND A TRUE SCUMBAG — “What stops armed bad guys is armed good guys,” U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, said at the National Rifle Association’s convention in Houston days after the Uvalde shooting.
In Uvalde, however, the gunman waited until the law allowed him to purchase particularly lethal weaponry — buying two AR-style rifles shortly after his 18th birthday after he failed to convince his sister to buy him one earlier, police said. The armed police staged outside the classrooms where students and teachers were dead and dying for more than an hour before killing the gunman.
The law enforcement response in Uvalde this month knocks down the argument that good guys with guns are the solution to shootings. He hopes lawmakers and policymakers can find compromise by shifting their framework for debate. “What we really want isn’t good guys with guns stopping bad guys with guns, what we really want is bad guys without guns, that’s a better strategy.”
THE BASTARDS IN CONGRESS GET THE MONEY — OUR CHILDREN DIE —
🔘 First our sources – OpenSecrets.org. It is a non-profit, nonpartisan research group that tracks lobbying and donations released by the Federal Election Commission. This chart shows how much gun money gets in the hands of Republicans — Axios Media also contributed —
🔘 Ted Cruz — It found that during the 2018 election cycle Ted Cruz was the biggest recipient of money from gun rights backers with $311,151. For comparison the next highest recipient was Martha McSally in Arizona who got just over $228,000. When it comes to the money Cruz received it is not just from the NRA, they have affiliates like the Gun L of Manufacturers and thousand of dealers. The rest of $311,151 number includes donations from other PACs and individual gun rights backers giving more than $200. Like The Gun Owners and clubs, parts manufacturers and gun shows. The gun lobby makes Texas-sized donations to the state's congressional delegation.
🔘 Details: Texas Sens. Ted Cruz and John Cornyn, both Republicans, are among the top three lawmakers whose campaigns or PACs have accepted the most money from the gun rights lobby.
🔘 Why it matters: Lobbying groups spend big on lawmakers to directly influence policy. Powerful interest groups like the NRA, can be what stands in the way of gun safety legislation.
🔘 State of play: Three members of the Texas delegation make the list: Cruz at No. 1, Cornyn at No. 3 and U.S. Rep. Pete Sessions at No. 9.
🔘 Combined, they have collected more than $1 million from the gun lobby since they first arrived in Congress.
GREG ABBOTT
THE GOVERNOR OF TEXAS IS DERANGED
🤡 Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said Friday he was "misled" by inaccurate accounts — from authorities about the massacre and he is demanding a full account of what happened. Look in the mirror schmuck — there’s your problem!
🤡 How can you mislead a moron? Well — Their thinking is misleading to begin with — Simple, Governor Abbott is a moron and listens to morons — they kind of connect — It’s a Texas thing!
🤡 Morons are always surrounded by morons so they don’t look bad and have other morons to blame. A false background check? He had problems, that were not reported, internet chat should have produced red flags, a locked door that was never locked, who lied? In narrow debates, policies are touted or decried based on how applicable they are to the latest killing and the schmucks who did not do their jobs.. Better mental checks not only for the shooter but the politicians who are lieing their way through this.
🤡 Just look at the picture of the Press Conference they are holding on to each other for dear life! Nineteen dead children and Abbott, that frikken idiot is promoting gun sales and telling everyone about open carry. At that moment I prayed someone would walk up and put a bullet in his head — Uvalde is a clear cut example Of moron political for greed and not the people leadership, morons on the police job and resulting in a tragedy.
🤡 A US Border Patrol tactical team shot and killed the gunman, according to the Texas Department of Public Safety. While an off-duty agent said he rushed to the scene with a borrowed shotgun, he clarified in televised interviews that he didn’t kill the gunman or go inside the classroom where the shooting took place. he was not allowed to enter, we learned.
🤡 What kind of a simpleton is this TRUMP clone. So I started looking deeper into this jerk and found enough to hang the bastard, except TEXAS is not exactly an intellectual enterprise. No wonder he was surrounded by Texas Rangers, I believe the good folks of Uvalde should have hanged him. He wants to do away with background checks —
I can see it now— Attention Shoppers: Buy a New Glock19's and get a box of free ammo on aisle three —
🤡 🔘 TOO MANY GUNS 🔘 TOO MANY GUN DEALERS 🔘 TOO MANY WEAPONS OF WAR 🔘 TRAINING SYLLABUS 🔘 LONGER WAIT PERIODS 🔘 MORE TRAINING 🔘 GUN OWNERS LIABILITY INSURANCE MANDATORY 🔘 TESTING 🔘 MAG LIMITS 🔘 DEATH PENALTY FOR MASS MURDERERS 🔘 MINIMUM AGE 21 🔘
.
ABBOTT'S 40 POINT WORTHLESS PLAN
ANOTHER SHAM BY THE GOVERNOR, A TOTAL CROCK OF SH*T
🔘 Gov. Greg Abbott’s suggestions for limiting mass shooting deaths in Texas include a bevy of changes to state law, a culture shift in how law enforcement officers patrol their communities, increases in mental health practices at schools and help for educators who want to improve their abilities to remove potentially dangerous students from classrooms. Here’s what you need to know about the 40-page “School and Firearm Safety Action Plan” that Abbott released in Dallas —
🔘 While Abbott’s plan doesn’t call for any new state statutes that directly limit who can buy guns, it does aim to close some loopholes in laws that already bar some people from purchasing or owning firearms. And it does call for lawmakers to strengthen existing criminal penalties for some people whose guns are used to injure or kill people.
“I can assure you I will never allow Second Amendment rights to be infringed, but I will always promote responsible gun ownership,” Abbott said Wednesday.
🔘 The governor wants courts to report felony convictions, mental health adjudications and protective orders that can block people from buying guns within 48 hours instead of 30 days.
🔘 In Texas, parents can be criminally prosecuted if they don’t safely store loaded guns that end up being used in certain crimes by children who are 16 years old and younger. Abbott wants to include 17-year-olds in that law, remove the provision that only allows for prosecution if the guns were loaded when children accessed them and increase the criminal penalty from a Class A misdemeanor to a third degree felony. The plan also calls for requiring gun owners to report when their firearms are lost or stolen.
🔘 The plan mentions a potential “red flag” law that would allow judges to temporarily take guns away from people deemed to be dangerous if there is legal due process. Abbott didn’t call for legislators to pass such a law — he instead wants to “encourage” lawmakers to “consider the merits” of adopting it. Outgoing House Speaker Joe Straus took him up on that late Wednesday and instructed a committee of the lower chamber to study such legal provisions. "In the coming days, I will issue other interim charges designed to help prevent another school shooting," Straus said in a prepared statement.
🔘 Abbott’s proposal also calls for encouraging voluntary use of gun locks. It mentions that Ohio requires dealers to also sell access prevention devices and that Maine requires dealers to demonstrate how to use trigger lock devices. The plan says “Texas could emulate these laws,” but does not list them as an explicit recommendation for lawmakers.
🔘 The safety action plan says that schools and local law enforcement agencies should work closer together to increase how often officers are at schools. That includes making campuses regular stops on officers’ patrols and giving them rooms inside schools to stop and file reports while on duty.
🔘 Abbott also wants to increase the number of school marshals legally allowed at each campus, streamline the 80-hour training course required to become a marshal and repeal the legal requirement that marshals safely store their firearms. And he’d like to see schools prioritize the hiring of retired police officers and military veterans as resource officers.
🔘 A litany of the recommendations would require legislative action. But that may not begin until the next regular legislative session begins in January.
Abbott hasn’t ruled out calling a special session before then. But he attached a key caveat that didn’t apply to last year’s special session: Lawmakers must reach consensus on what bills they plan to pass before he’ll convene them in Austin. “A special session is not a debating society,” he said Wednesday.
🔘 Several school officials could spend the summer being trained in ways that Abbott hopes will prevent more deaths. The state is paying to train campus staffers who want to become school marshals. Educators and other school officials can also participate in free training for responding to active shooters, a workshop for emergency planning and courses on how to teach emergency incident response to others.
🔘 Two state agencies are also increasing the amount of mental health first aid training they provide this summer. And the Texas School Safety Center is partnering with SIGMA Threat Management Associates to train staffers on behavioral threat assessment, a technique used to identify potentially dangerous students and determine the best ways to intervene before they become violent.
🔘 Abbott wants teachers to have the power to immediately place students in alternative classrooms if they threaten violence. He also wants lawmakers to expand the criminal offenses that allow school officials to expel or put a student in disciplinary classrooms. Current felonies that can prompt removal from regular classrooms include murder, kidnapping, sexual offenses, assaults and aggravated robbery. Abbott wants that list to include stalking, cruelty to animals, any weapons-related felony and any organized crime offense.
🔘 But when students are placed in alternative classrooms, Abbott’s plan recommends that officials use what’s called restorative practices to identify underlying mental health issues that influence behavior. Some Texas schools are already using similar practices, which encourage students and teachers to talk through problems and build stronger bonds to prevent conflict and violence.
🔘 A key tenet of the proposal relies on expanding use of behavioral health programs and increasing the number of mental health professionals at schools.
🔘 Abbott wants his office and lawmakers to identify $20 million in state funds to begin expanding a mental health screening program operated through the Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center. One major change proposed would create two classes of school counselors — one that focuses on academic issues like college acceptance and one that concentrates on students’ mental health.
🔘 “This plan puts the state on a pathway to ensure healthier families, safer schools and safer communities,” Abbott said Wednesday.The Texas Department of Public Safety next month will launch an app called “iWatch Texas,” which allows Texans to report suspicious behavior or criminal activity statewide. The safety plan recommends increasing awareness of the app among teachers and students.
“Using a single, statewide reporting system, as opposed to a school-specific system, ensures that tips from different parts of the community are all integrated linking critical data,” the plan says. Reported information is then supposed to be disseminated to relevant law enforcement agencies.
🔘 “For example, a student may report strange behavior and statements made by another student,” the report says. “Later that day, a citizen reports that the same student was attempting to purchase ammunition at a sporting goods store and became belligerent when refused. The iWatch system would link these separate incidents, and all future reports involving this student on or off campus would be monitored by law enforcement.”
Abbott’s plan also suggests linking that data to a proposed increase in existing social media monitoring programs.
“Several recent perpetrators of mass shootings had left clues as to their potential homicidal or suicidal intent on publicly accessible social media sites in the months before committing their crimes,” the plan says.
🔘 The safety action plan doesn’t detail how much it would cost to implement all of the suggestions. Some may not come to fruition. The price tag for others may depend on how many school districts buy in to voluntary proposals.
The plan says the state already has access to $70 million for some of the recommendations and that the Texas Education Agency is working with school districts on how to prioritize $62.1 million in federal funds for several of the suggestions. State agencies are also seeking federal funding for mental health first aid training.
The plan notes that “additional funds” could be “offered by the Legislature.” But when the legislature convenes for the 2019 regular session, lawmakers will be about $7.9 billion short of what they need to fund current programs, services and policies, according to a recent report. And in Texas, lawmakers are already largely criticized for decreasing the amount of state spending per student in recent years.
GOV. ABBOTT IS THE CHIEF PLAYER IN THIS AFTER CHAOS AND HAS FAILED
GOV. ABBOTT is not fit for the position he holds, he is weak, and owned by the GOP who decides for him, the Reptilian party. A supporter of stupidity in a state that T-RUMP worshippers and scumbags should be removed. and restore pride in Texas not their politicians — The best show in Texas are the Fish and Game Wardens on TV.
His comment “ I hate to say this, but there are more people who were shot every weekend in Chicago than there are in schools in Texas," Abbott said on Wednesday, arguing stricter gun laws are not a solution. There are indeed a horrific number of gun deaths in Chicago each year. But that is because of greater population density , drugs, and gang violence, with states nearby feeding the gun needs with excess weapons illegally purchased or stolen — It’s a thriving trade —
This man GOV. ABBOTT is a certified frikken idiot — And his statistics are bullsh*t — Texas suffered 4,164 gun deaths in 2020, the most recent year for which the CDC has published data and that's a rate of 14.2 deaths per 100,000 Texans. California, by comparison, saw 3,449 deaths, a gun death rate of 8.5.
You have a right, the 2nd Amendment to own a firearm, not a weapon of war, not if it is an illegal or modified version, not if used for crime or you have a record of mental instability or illness. But you can keep a one shot flintlock on your mantle — normal hunting weapons or weapons of self defense.
I covered many, then many more, and photographed scenes I want to forget. But the aftermath intrigues me, the search for the why’s and they are coming more apparent as the list gets bigger in heinous acts. We tie it together in detail with the true story of why we have mass murders in the United States.
The big player is the corruption of Congress, the corruption of the NRA, Our corrupt politicians, Gun Lobbyists,. The false charity of the NRA ( IT IS TAX FREE AS A CHARITY) that makes millions from its members, and divides the pot amongst its favorite members , the Gun Lobbyists and Gun Sale’s bribes and is corrupt facing bankrupsty and needs to lose its fraudulent status as a charity. Its partners are the corrupt Senators and Congressmen to take those bribes. They should be thrown out of Congress — and charged with Bribery.
