While speaking at the National Rifle Association (NRA) convention on Friday, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott spoke his mind about the “true source of gun violence.”
Abbott pushed back on gun control advocates arguing that “the answer to gun violence is not to take guns away, the answer is to strengthen the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.”
Friday’s meeting was the first convention since the mass shooting in Parkland, Florida, as well as the resulting activism in favor of gun control.

| when you perceive yourself as accountable, indebted and follow superior guidelines proven over time beyond the shadow of a doubt, surprise, surprise, you perform to a higher standard consistently with all that entails: respect, success, etc. When you take the current approach focused upon the self, listen to the inner voice, embrace science as god, it's like following your garmin gps and getting stranded to death. You go in circles and get nowhere, with no answers. (speaking of which we had a local comm'l driver do that and get up a single mountain road, he walked 30 something miles for four days back to civilization. Lucky to survive, most don't. |

TO REMEMBER |
| "And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling in terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand? [...] The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!" —Alexander Solzhenitsyn, The Gulag Archipelago (Chapter 1 "Arrest") |
