Notes from the Resistance
In an exclusive interview on Thursday, Moonesinghe’s mother, Ruth, and brother, Johann, said they were heartbroken and demanded answers from Austin police as to why their loved one was killed so quickly before being given a reasonable amount of time to drop the weapon. [More]
Why? Well, like the union said, “the officer followed his training…”

More Than Two Dozen Gun Control Measures Prefiled for 2023 Session of the Texas Legislature [More]
None of them pass the Bruen “historical understanding” benchmark, but that doesn’t matter to the antis, who will never stop because they have the resources and media support to keep coming and coming and coming…

Was the defendant entitled to a jury charge on self-defense based on his own testimony that he believed his use of force was necessary to protect himself? [More]

That the State argued “No” hardly seems a Blessings of Liberty” move…

Greg Abbott strips Texas of basic gun safeguards months after little children were slaughtered in Uvalde. This is not conservative. It is radical. [More]

While the law that created the program does not say that the kits are to help identify children’s bodies after a school shooting, that hasn’t stopped some parents from drawing a link between the two. [More]
Which parents? Democrat gun-grabbers?
Lie, spread the lie, and get the ignorant and emotion-driven all agitated…
This is very similar to how lynch mobs are formed.

The 30-year-old man charged with capital murder in the fatal shooting of two Dallas hospital employees was on parole and had been given permission to be at the medical facility for the birth of a child, a Texas prison official said [More]

Texas will fight to block 18- to 20-year-olds from carrying handguns [More]
Well, you can buy the Ted Olson excuse, that regardless of how he feels, the AG is charged with defending existing state laws, or you can just as easily conclude that “Tea Party conservative” Paxton has reasons of his own to douse the fire in gun owners’ bellies before November to help turn the state blue.

Who thinks this is about tolerance?
A federal judge who was appointed by former President Donald Trump has ruled that a Texas law banning anyone under 21 from carrying handguns in public violates the Constitution. [More]
Excellent! Just don’t forget there’s still a ways to go…
I’m wondering if the grabbers will appeal…

Son of Gulf Cartel Boss Pleads Guilty to Arms Smuggling in Texas [More]
He ought to claim it was a botched gun sting. That worked aces for the last group that tried it.

They don’t just FEEL secure.

Texas Gov. Abbott lashes out after 46 migrants found dead in tractor-trailer: ‘These deaths are on Biden’ [More]
In fairness, Cheap Labor Republicans don’t exactly have clean hands either.
Good thing this has nothing to do with that “single issue”…
“You don’t get to pretend that you care about public safety if you’re a governor who allows six major mass shootings to happen on your watch while actively going out of your way to make it easier for criminals to carry guns.” [More]
What a lying @$$hole.
These idiots, too.

“No person may purchase a pistol unless said purchaser has secured from a Justice of Peace, County Judge, or District Judge in the county of his or her residence a certificate of good character,” said the law, which was enacted in 1931. [More]
That wasn’t one of those laws enacted to keep minorities disarmed that “progressives” think they’ve found a “Gotcha!” with, was it? Because if they like that one, they’ll love this!
And did anyone ever challenge its constitutionality on Second Amendment grounds?

Never attribute to sock puppet incompetence what can be explained by a genocidal lust for total power by the men behind the curtain.

UPDATE
According to a very interesting report by Todd Bensman of the Center for Immigration Studies, the record-sized 15,000-strong caravan has run into interference from the Texas governor and his counterpart in the adjacent Mexican state of Coahuila, who had the foresight to sign an agreement in April about border security. [More]
That’s how it’s done– make it more worth Mexican authorities’ while to play ball. And if carrots don’t work, use sticks.

I request that these committees review what steps previous legislatures have enacted, what resources the State has made available to local school districts, and make recommendations to the Legislature and the Executive Branch so that meaningful action can be made on, among other things, the following topics to prevent future school shootings:
School safety
Mental health
Social media
Police training
Firearm safety [More]
OK, Governor, flesh out what you mean by that last one.
