Bring back firearm safety in PE class for 5th -8th grade. The shooting sports.
When I was in 5th & 6th grade, during the spring semester, we had firearm marksmanship and safety, in gym class.
Daisy Red Ryder plinkers were used. The girls always beat the guys. Go figure!

The Governor should have signed it yesterday, unless there was not a good photo op time....
Abbott is all about the photo op.

I’ve been looking and wondering when Abbott plans to sign it.
Can’t find anything on it.

The left is freaking out over this.
They didn't throw a fit when the other 20 states allowed unlicensed carry.

Why is Texas so important to the left.
Because Texas is a biggest symbol of strength and liberty, with the left all about symbolism.
If Texas goes, so does the rest.
Democrats lost Texas for another century.
Even though a few states had no mask mandate or lockdowns, it was not a big deal to the Democrats, but once Texas opened, the Democrats panicked.
Texas, the first to go after big-tech, now other states are quickly following suit.

So, after a bunch of recent mass-shootings in his (backward) state, this is abbott's response ... looser gun laws.

LMAO

And the guy wonders why Joe calls his thinking "Neanderthal".

Anyway, like my man "Hoban" said ... One can only hope Texas legislators will now be encouraged to settle their differences the old fashioned way.

So the question is: Why hasn't Abbott signed it yet?
