Texas’ complex relationship with firearms: Leading America in gun sales, but with a declining gun ownership rate

[C_Clayton_Jones]

“Background checks for gun purchases in Texas rose during the weeks after the mass shooting in Uvalde that left 19 children and two teachers dead, according to the latest count from the federal government. It wasn’t the largest jump in background checks so far this year, but it’s part of a pattern that has followed most mass shootings for over a decade.

Background checks for guns rose an average of almost 10% following the El Paso, Santa Fe and Sutherland Springs mass shootings. But those events and their aftermath only provided a snapshot of the full, complicated picture of Texans’ relationship with guns and gun violence.

What isn’t complicated is the fact that guns aren’t going to be ‘banned’ the consequence of mass shootings.

Rushing out to buy guns after a mass shooting only results in shortages of both guns and ammunition.

Lol, nothing but lies.

And it’s not just the unwarranted fear that mass shootings will result in ‘bans’ – we see the same ignorance and stupidity from conservatives when a Democratic administration comes into office: shortages and the unavailability of ammunition and firearms based on the moronic lie that guns are going to be ‘banned.’

Oh really? So democrats aren't trying to get an assault weapon ban passed? Your lies are laughable.

I guess we are supposed to forget or ignore that they are actively trying to ban guns.
And that every time there is another incident they come out screeching about gun owners & how we are to blame.

Dems can't run on the truth so they have to resort to lying about what they are actually doing

Banning the one specific style gun that is universally accepted as the best, most effective weapon for a school shooter, or a mass shooter is not the same as banning every other type gun, dumb ass.

500K get-a-ways on our southern border and you wonder why Texans are arming themselves?

Are all guns AR15 style guns? Other than the Military style Ar15 based guns, please list all the other type guns that are in danger of being regulated?

The idiots are using 2016 figures for the percentage of Texas adults living in a household with a firearm.

What bullshit they're trying to get people to believe. The morons don't understand that if you didn't buy all the guns you needed by 2020, you weren't going to find them in 2021.

Please show any speeches, bills, or public statements proposing the ban of all 9mm weapons. If there is a real effort to ban all 9mm weapons I want to know about it.

Please educate yourself. I don't have the time to deal with your ignorance.

My mistake. I should have added that they are also cowards.
