With emotions swinging from heartbreak to fear, gratefulness to anger, more than two dozen people delivered sharp and sobering accounts about how their lives were forever blistered from two of the worst mass shootings in Texas history.
Some called for more gun regulations. Others pushed back with forceful defenses of the Second Amendment. Some called for metal detectors at the doors of every school. Others said a determined gunman would simply shoot the officers staffing the entrances. |

"That the Republican Abbott, a self-proclaimed Second Amendment proponent seeking a second term in November, would open a discussion that could lead to even modest restrictions on gun ownership in Texas is considered remarkable."
Where did Abbott say he would allow anything to lead to "even modest restrictions on gun ownership"? He said no such thing, and never even hinted at it.
The media is spinning this to portray it as something it's not. |

TO REMEMBER |
| Those, who have the command of the arms in a country are masters of the state, and have it in their power to make what revolutions they please. [Thus,] there is no end to observations on the difference between the measures likely to be pursued by a minister backed by a standing army, and those of a court awed by the fear of an armed people. — Aristotle, as quoted by John Trenchard and Water Moyle, An Argument Shewing, That a Standing Army Is Inconsistent with a Free Government, and Absolutely Destructive to the Constitution of the English Monarchy [London, 1697]. |
