shooting, the state has controversially introduced legislation that
relaxes its gun laws.

The new laws came into effect on Sunday, just one day after the shooting
between the towns of Midland and Odessa.

I don't see the rules they are relaxing leading to any increase in
mass shootings. They made it legal for people to have guns locked
in their cars when on school property, made it clear that it's legal
to carry in a church, etc. That could lead to a good guy with a gun
being in a church if some nut shows up. But again, what they lack is
a permit process so that there is a real, reasonable background check
before a person is able to buy a gun. So far, the recent shooting,
all we know is the guy did have a prior arrest and conviction for
criminal trespassing and eluding or resisting arrest. If there was
a permit process, you'd hope that the local police doing the background
check would then look more closely at what happened there and do some
more checking with current people who know him at home, work, etc.
What would they have found? We don't know yet. As it works now in TX,
you could have a dozen convictions like that, your co-workers could
know that you're a crazy hot head and that you're being treated for
mental problems and you can still buy all the guns you want.

I don't know if it will really make a difference. When I see signs
saying "gun free zone" I get a little scared. What a place to safely
carry out your mass shooting with no fear of retaliation. Show me where
it saved a life and I'll change my mind.

Meantime:
Yet while Governor Abbott, a Republican, spoke of a need for change, he
himself gave the green light earlier this year for a change which sees
its gun laws relaxed further.

He signed the new laws that eased restrictions on where firearms can be
carried, from schools to churches, apartments and foster homes, and
barred cities from passing their own gun and ammunition sales limits.

Relaxed gun laws help keep the libtards out so I guess the new law is a win-win.

No, they will inspire liberal voters to vote the repubs out. Helping the
trump destruction of the repub party.
