Eight gun laws in Texas relaxing restrictions on firearms went into effect on Sunday, the day after several shootings in the state on Saturday left at least 7 people dead and 21 injured.
Dear Ms Cabrera
Your headlines would be more effectual if a dictionary or thesaurus were consulted.

As if I needed another reason to stay out of Texas.
There is a real chance that anger over this (which is totally a Republican party project) drives people to the polls in 2020. Add in the vote against Trump, and maybe it can make some changes in TX. I doubt the state will go blue completely, but enough new faces in office can whittle away the Republican stranglehold on the state. It would be better for the people of TX for sure, as now they really donât have a voice (unless they are right wing conservatives, white supremacists, or evangelicals).
The Republicans will deserve all the scorn they get for loosening gun laws in the face of these mass shootings.
But they are affecting, in their own way.
If only these laws had been in effect yesterday, then surely some good guy with a gun would have stopped the shooter before it all took off.
âUnder the new laws, Texans are now allowed to bring guns into churchesâŚâ
And Jesus went into the temple, and overturned the tables of the moneychangers.
And He said unto them, âThis is the house of prayer; but ye have made it a den of thievesâ.
And, lo, Bobby Joe Jim Bob rebuked His bearded commie talk, and blew away His long-haired hippy ass with a 40-round Bushmaster XM15.
November 22, 1963.
I canât imagine living in Texas by choice.
You better hope @tena doesnât see thisâŚ
What this means is that the headline should read: âTX Laws Loosening Gun Rules Go Into Effect Day After Shootingsâ
Texas is a big state. With a large enough population, you are bound to find a guy who is angry, drunk, or racist and armed to the teeth. We canât really change angry, drunk or racist but we can limit the tools these guys have to slaughter.
Hi! To find out what I can do, say @discobot display help.
Even worse since they got it right in the story itself.
In the first sentence.
âEight gun laws in Texas relaxing restrictions on firearms went into effect on SundayâŚâ
Meanwhile Mother Jones has done the exact opposite, getting it right in the headline and wrong in the first sentence.
This is a typical libtard response. Everybody knows that if Jesus had an AK-47 when they came for him, things woulda turned out different. If guns had been allowed in churches way back in days of yore, instead of âMy boss is Jewish carpenter,â my bumper sticker woulda said âMy Boss Is a Good Guy With a Gun.â
Why do yâall radical Sharia law socialist homosexuals have to make gun laws political? This is not the time for that!
I wouldnât mind so much if the rubes just shot each other on a regular basis, but kids and innocent people get shot too.
Joy Reid said this morning that in addition to everywhere else the new law will also allow guns to be open-carried in mental institutions.
Makes sense to me. After all, what could possibly go wrong?
Next up: white male Texans will discover they can carry their assault rifles with high-capacity magazines to their court-ordered anger management classes. Quelle joie!
The laws also loosened restrictions on gun storage. School districts are no longer allowed to limit how licensed gun owners store their guns on school parking lots, and landlords cannot include restrictions on gun storage in rent leases.
This seems remarkably stupid, and thatâs on a sliding scale where the baseline level is already incredibly stupid. What could possibly go wrong?
So landlords can ban pets, excessive noise, and enforce other nuisance regulations, but not actually gun storage, even if small kids are present?
Spell check can go to heâll.
I lived in Texas for three years running a department at UT Austin. As far as Iâm concerned the morons in Texas should be free to kill each other at an increased rate. No loss for humanity.
