Texans can now openly carry guns in public without a permit or training...CNN: "Police say the new law makes it harder to do their jobs"

[justoffal]

By all means…

Let untrained and uncleared morons run around with guns

They already do every time they step into a vehicle and start it up.

Maybe, maybe not. Guns are the ultimate in instant gratification for murde and suicide. Other ways are harder, slower, and just generally less "user friendly".

And guns are more user friendly for victims of violent criminals...guns make it far easier for a woman to fight off a violent, aggressive male attacker.......dittos senior citizens, and any other victim facing a violent criminal.

Jumping in front of a bullet train is just as fast and even more user friendly.

 

[Crepitus]

Id say jumping off a ten story building would be instantaneous.

Nope, you Would have several seconds to regret it on the way down.

And they talk about Florida LOL

Texans can now openly carry guns in public without a permit or training. Police say the new law makes it harder to do their jobs | CNN

A new pro-gun law in Texas that went into effect Wednesday allows most Texans who legally own a firearm to carry it openly in public without obtaining a permit or training, a measure that experts say will make it more challenging for law enforcement to protect the public from gun violence.

Wow, more commie propaganda. Nothing has materialized in other constitutional carry States that even resembles the anti-gun bullshit. Also it's a LIE that TX repealed the permit altogether, in fact permit holders can carry is places others can't. So just shove your lies.

Right! But they can't explain why gun ownership in Japan is almost non-existent, but the suicide rate is 4x that of the U.S.

Of course they can't - there's no rational explanation.

 

[M14 Shooter]

Last, requiring a license to carry a concealed firearm is likewise ‘Constitutional carry’ – in no manner in violation of the Second Amendment.

Just like the new abortion law in TX.

 

[Stann]

Yes....the bad guys with guns are criminals who break the law.....normal gun owners do not break the law.

how come when they're interviewing these neighbors of the mass murderers they say they were perfectly normal people and never expected this of them. We are all only human, every one of us capable of going over the edge. That's why no one should have access to weapons capable of killing many in just minutes. At least it would limit the amount of carnage by guns.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Most of the gun owners I know are paranoid, conspiracy believing, individuals that believe that the gun makes them somehow feel important.

I dont believe you know any gun owners.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

Nope, you Would have several seconds to regret it on the way down.

But the deed is done and there's no going back.
All it takes is one step.

 

[fncceo]

I will keep searching for gun owners with character.

Gotta find a ten story building, get roof access, walk to the edge, look at the drop, and finally step off.

Vs get the gun outta the drawer and pull the trigger in a fit of depression. Guns are the easiest way to commit suicide or murder or even both at once.

Can't argue with that.

Or simply rent a hotel room with a balcony.
It's not like your gonna care about money anymore.
Hell,I have plenty of guns and they wouldnt be my choice if I wanted to off myself.

Free, sane societies do not take away the rights of the people because the people might do something illegal.

 

[miketx]

I say we ban leftists and queers. Crime solved.

 

[Man of Ethics]

More die by abortion, so if it's about saving lives.......

I oppose abortion.
I oppose enabling suicide by guns.
I support Welfare System.

I am consistent.

Right! But they can't explain why gun ownership in Japan is almost non-existent, but the suicide rate is 4x that of the U.S.

Japan has a rate of 12.2
US has a rate of 14.5

Texas: where gun owners have more rights than pregnant women. Figures.
