Nah, the shooter is reportedly not white. In Abbott's Texas only white guys are allowed guns. Vinca Oct 2021 #3

who did the shooting not having the right to own the gun. Geeze, that sounds like gun control talk to me. Abbott's poll numbers about the abortion bill must be affecting his stance on gun rights.

He’s such a fucking disgrace.

When someone doesn’t care that kids in school are getting gunned down, there is no humanity left in them. Abbutt hasn’t had any humanity in at least a decade.
