I seriously don’t know what else to say about the gun epidemic in this country, but Texas seems to what to redefine the rules of logic. Five people where shot dead including a 9-year-old boy because a man was asked to shop firing his gun so a baby could sleep. Has the level of discourse gotten so bad that murder is the response to a civil request? I suppose that is a stupid question especially in Texas where a barista could get gunned down for pronouncing a customer’s name wrong. No that has happened yet, as far as I know, but just wait, I would not be surprised.
To make the execution of a family worse, Governor Abbott came out and immediately portraying both shooter and victims as illegal. Let’s place blame on a group and not address the real issue that anyone, in Texas, can purchase any firearm they want and as many as they want. Texan’s and Arizona’s constantly cry about the Mexican cartels coming into their states and killing people. Guess what sniveling crybabies those ‘criminals’ you are afraid of got their guns from Texas and Arizona because they can’t buy them in Mexico. Does anyone see a correlation or is it just me?
The Republicans and their constant deifying of guns and twisting of what they say is their Constitutional right have turned this nation into a war zone unfortunately most of the causalities of their war are unarmed and children. I was one that thought that in 2012 at Sandy Hook when 2nd graders were mowed down things would change. Hell, no there was a black man in the White House and that was a bigger threat than dead children. Ten years later at Rob Elementary in Uvalde TX more children were murdered, and some had to be identified by DNA. What did we get, Thoughts & Prayers, because that always helps.
I am screaming out to Millennials and Gen Z, please fix this my generation is obviously incapable of solving this problem. I do not want my son to be afraid to go to college or to a park, a concert, a movie theater or to ask someone for directions for fear of being shot and killed. I was taught as a kid that sticks and stones could break my bones, but words would never hurt me, that isn’t true anymore because an ASS HOLE with a gun could kill you over a word, or knocking on the wrong door, even mistakenly pulling into the wrong driveway, and trying to leave.
Recognize the common denominator, guns are the problem. Tired of the guns don’t kill people, people kill people, no people with guns kill other people or themselves. Don’t give me the more people die in car accidents argument either. Cars have an intended purpose and are highly regulated, guns have one design purpose and that is to kill and currently are not regulated. In states like Texas firearms are available to anyone over the age of 18 and they’re trying to lower that.
GUNS ARE THE PROBLEM!!!!
