Could you at least tell me the shooter was from across the border, ya know, because Greg Abbott is going to do more to keep the immigrants out of Texas because they are so violent according to him.
I suspect the violent one was white, but . . . .

Good news, no deaths only two critically wounded. Bad news is there are now 13 more people whose lives are forever altered by a gun that was probably legally purchased by law abiding citizen.

Amazing no one has died from this shooting. Yet, at least.

(5,125 posts)We should let the NRA start up Gun Insurance so that each infraction raises the price and horrible actions immediately terminate the right to own a gun EVER. Be used against someone in a court of law.
SO that ONLY irresponsible gun owners are impacted.
THEN WE are on THEIR side. The side of sane and rational humans who just want only "GOOD" people to have guns and not the "Crazy Mo-Fo's" who go shooting babies and grandmas.
Even my son, who has gone full tRumpie on me, supports this type of legislation because he totally knows HE is not one of those "Crazy Mo-Fo's" with his gun under his bed, safely using it only for hunting or self defense.

Florida even HAS a law that could have helped the guy if someone had said something.
