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 |
| Besides the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation, the existence of subordinate governments, to which the people are attached, and by which the militia officers are appointed, forms a barrier against the enterprises of ambition, more insurmountable than any which a simple government of any form can admit of. Notwithstanding the military establishments in the several kingdoms of Europe, which are carried as far as the public resources will bear, the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms. — James Madison, The Federalist Papers, No. 46 |
