I keep telling people here…
America ‘LOVES’ its guns and they aren’t going anywhere….
FYI?
Texas, the site of the latest mass shooting, just liberated its gun laws this weekend….
President Trump said Sunday that he is still talking to Congress about measures to stem gun violence but that Saturday’s shooting in West Texas that left seven people dead “hasn’t changed anything.”
Trump also asserted that stricter background checks wouldn’t have stopped mass shootings over the past several years.
“We’re looking at the same things,” Trump told reporters at the White House after returning from a weekend at Camp David. “It really hasn’t changed anything.”
“A lot of people are talking about it, and that’s irrespective of what happened yesterday in Texas,” Trump said of possible gun reform measures.
Trump noted that he is talking to lawmakers and mentioned background checks but claimed “they would not have stopped any” of the mass shootings over the past several years. He also repeated that he believes gun violence is a mental health issue….
Note…
Donald Trump IS partially correct…
In a lot of the mass shootings?
The guns where purchased legally….

Today laws go into effect in Texas:
-allowing guns in foster homes
-making it illegal for landlords to disallow guns in rental units
-making it easier to bring guns in churches
If more guns = less gun deaths, America would be the safest place in the world.
FYI – it isn’t.
