I posted this in Main but am reposting it here. TX Lt Gov Dan Patrick, a state noted for its nuanced and rational approach to gun control (joking), went on record yesterday to blame his major hate targets-video games (a fav for most gun owners), removing religion from the schools (so, hey, I guess WE'RE partially responsible, guys), abortions (say WHAT?), and irresponsible gun owners (got a point here).

America has been bought and sold, and the gun manufacturing seems to have a big hand in the buying and the selling, !I think america has turned into a money Pitt, and trump is profiting ,like Dylan said"steel a little and they put you in jail, steel A Lot and they make you king!

This is sooo laughable from those who don't think the plethora of guns lower the value of human life. What a stupid, goddamned joke. Anything but the giant elephant in the closet-sized room, guns, guns and even more guns!!!!

I also cannot listen to them as it is an apparent spewing of NRA nonsense to which they all must follow in perfect lockstep. There seems to be no way to get through to these people. We need to vote, persuade others to vote, get people registered to vote and then get the apologists out of office.

The state of Texas would rather build a prison than buy a school book so you wonder why are they the way they are.

In the Santa Fe, TX case, I think one of the biggest issues was toxic masculinity. The guy killed the girl who’d turned him down numerous times. And people wonder why women don’t stand up to the pushy ones.

Ammosexuals are always happy to infringe on the rights/ safety of others in order to make love to the second ammenment. The freak in this article proves my point.

I have never heard ammosexual before and it is so fitting. And also so very sad

@AmelieMatisse lol it's not just wanting a gun to protect your family ,it's a strange passion for hoarding.

@Kojaksmom I found it in the Urban Dictionary and on a blog it was listed as word of the week. It is a horrible situation though

I tried watching Patrick yesterday but as soon as he started talking about video games, I knew he was just reciting NRA's talking points and skipped ahead to the the angry Parkland father and the the cool Sandy Hook mother, who were much more rational. I found it odd that Stephanopoulos kept calling Patrick, "Governor" instead of, "Lt Governor." I don't think the kids who survived Santa Fe are going to be active the way the Parkland kids have been.

Yes these folks will blame everything but the obvious elephant standing in front of them.

Vote them out!
