I'm sure it has nothing to do with selling guns to men who can't control their emotions.
Or the governor going out of his way to defund mental healthcare.
It's one of thousands of places with underfunded mental healthcare but one of a handful that pairs it with extremely permissive gun laws.
Ultimately, it doesn't matter if the pro-gun crowd is correct and the gun violence problem would be eliminated by simply treating every single man, woman and child in America for vague "mental health problems", including people who don't want treatment, to an extent far beyond our current medical science, so completely that they will never relapse, not even for the second it takes to draw a weapon and fire.
If they want to build all that so they can go back to indiscriminately selling guns to people, they can go right ahead. Until they have though, the gun laws in America clearly don't work to keep guns out of the hands of dangerous people.
Conservatives do not see any problem with domestic violence against women. "The bible doesn't condemn it, so why should we?"
It's probably because Abbott eliminated all rape in the state
When your state is doing everything in its power to become the murder capitol of the world- don’t be surprised if there’s a few murders every now and then.
Oh nice… I hear it’s a good state to move to if you like death.
