Texas's answer to gun violence

[Jimdamick]

(CNN) A series of new firearm laws will go into effect in Texas next month -- further loosening gun restrictions in a state that's had four of the 10 deadliest mass shootings in modern US history.
The laws -- passed before a gunman massacred 22 people and injured dozens in El Paso last weekend -- will make it easier to have guns in a state with some of the most lax weapons restrictions in the nation.

I mean something must be done to combat gun violence in Texas right, so why not loosen the existing laws and make it easier to carry firearms in public.
So the logic it seems is that if everyone is armed, that will at least reduce mass murders somewhat, if not eliminate them altogether
What do you think?
Is Texas on to something, or are they just simply fucking insane?

 

[Lucky Luke]

Insane.
If guns don't kill people, people kill people then why have more people with guns?

24 secs to aim and unleash 41 rounds is not reducing gun violence
Fully trained cops couldn't do what gun nuts think an old ex-cop can do to guard your children WTF

cause in Texas, we don't want happens in Santa Fe, Sulphur Spring to happen again. Texas has always been a pro gun state, even when we were founded.

the part about foster homes is still kinda new on me, but i can see where they're coming don't want parent that have kids in foster homes for some reason coming back and basically kidnapping the kid......


.....con seal and carry has always been a Texan right.....hell in some place we don't even con seal, it's right out in the open so people can see...

Hand gun during a disaster...hell yeah.....don't want looter coming in and stealing shit, gotta protect your home, and family and any property....Huricane Harvey is a good example

hope that answers a few questions

If it wasn't for the innocents that are always the one's affected, I'd say good for you Texas, go right ahead and shoot the shit out of each other, but because I have pity, I won't say that.

Insurance beats killing someone over a TV.
I recommend new for old.

hope not either......mate......we don't have many other those...at least not reported anyways....

but there have been some stupid people instances.....report not to long ago...some idiot was playing or doing something with a gun...and it went off...shot a kid in the face.....unfortunately the child dies and now the man is on the run..or at least i still think he is.....

insurance companies are instructed to give a 3rd or less.....that's how they keep they're profit margins so high.....i'd rather put a guy down for tresspassing and stealing...or at least give him a good reason to never come back...

In unrelated news: my wife, who is Russian, is asking if her parents who are coming to visit next month should bring us a couple of AK47's.

I'm half tempted to say yes.

wait a minute- isn't texas legal to carry? why didn't those in Walmart who were carrying, protect the others who got shot?

The manner in which it's implemented is important.

Kennesaw, Georgia
The city is perhaps best known nationally for its mandatory gun-possession ordinance.

In 2001, violent crime rates were about 60% below national and state rates. Property crime rates were from 46–56% below national and state rates. From 1999 to 2011, Kennesaw crime statistics reported that both property and violent crimes had decreased, though from 2003 to 2008 the trend in both violent and property crime rates slightly increased.[19] The increase in crime rate overall is attributed to the population growth rate of 37.41%. The population growth rate is much higher than the state average rate of 18.34% and is much higher than the national average rate of 9.71%

I have no idea what the stats are today.

people are usually pretty busy after a hurricane- looting is the last thing on their mind.

Houston had a real bad looting problem, even though people were evacuating. Rock Port the same, infact one report someone did try too loot...but the owner stayed....as soon as the guy got through the door...boom...he got off with self defense...

 

[MidwestGorilla219]

I see a decrease in mass shootings but an increase in gun violence overall in my opinion.

 

[BudmanTX]

it is...and honestly...that's an interesting question that i haven't found the answer too....i do have a thought....since you can't bring a firearm in a liquior store here..guess you can't because walmart sells beer and stuff.......one of my questions is where were the security guard...i know they have them....

Nobody in Kennessaw owns a gun. Nobody obeys that law. They never have.

It's the thought that everyone is SUPPOSED to have a gun that sends most criminals back to Marietta or own down the road to Ackworth.

This whole idea in Texas exploded some years ago when a lady who was a licensed gun owner was eating at a cafeteria with her parents and an asshole drove into the cafeteria, got out and starting killing people. Including her parents. She wasn’t packing because the cafeteria had rules. Like they were going to search her purse.
