    | Sutherland Springs, Santa Fe and now El Paso and Midland-Odessa: Mass shootings keep happening in Texas and, it seems, with more frequency.
 
 Elected officials, like Gov. Greg Abbott, have vowed to do something.
 
 “The time for talking is over,” Abbott said after the El Paso attack on Aug. 3. “The time for action began today.”
 
 Abbott convened a series of public safety meetings in August, and just last week he issued eight executive orders aimed at streamlining the reporting of suspicious activity to identify potential mass shooters.

    | These cretins just don't get it. 
 As long as they stick to their bottom-line poll-driven, deceitful meme "gun safety" to obfuscate the public's understanding that it is not "safety" they're after, it's CONTROL, the people they're trying to convince (namely, US) won't waste time discussing it with them.

                      | I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor.  — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |  |  |
