People need to just stand down and let Texas make gun laws as loose as possible for themselves. Let them all carry machine guns if they want. If it's what Texas wants, let Texas have it.

Gun control will stop mass shootings. But women can get illegal abortions and illegal immigrants will find ways around Trump's wall.

We're on the same page Bob... I just pointed out the irony, agony and the futility in one statement.

You're drowning in ignorance. Relax francais.

Gun control doesn't stop mass shootings and you have no proof it does.

They arrive after the fact. That you think they will protect you is juvenile.

Hypocrisy is the thoughts and prayers that come after the shootings occur and are used as an excuse to do nothing about gun violence.

Where gun control laws are strongest, mass murder seems to be a rarity. Looks like a correlation to me.

So you think should we have to defend our own selves from the government, we will be able to defeat the army, navy, air force, all cops, the CIA, FBI, ATf, border patrol and ICE? Or will they magically remember the Nuremberg trials and say no to a command?

Apparently that's true for you. Change the way you pray and you will be changed. Even if you don't believe try it, and say you don't believe. Keep knockin'
