It's long past time for the state's top elected leaders to abandon their blind loyalty to the gun lobby.
Does anyone at these stores selling tactical assault weapons and high volumes of ammunition ever ask young men like Ramos what they intend to do with their purchases? Apparently not.on a Tuesday and Friday, and then on the following Tuesday he walked into Robb Elementary School and massacred 19 Uvalde third and fourth graders and two of their teachers, and left 17 other children wounded.
Gov. Greg Abbott and Texas legislators can act to prevent the next Uvalde, the next Sutherland Springs, the next El Paso, the next Santa Fe, Texas mass shooting by the next angry and alienated young man. But right now, unless we change Texas gun laws, there will continue to be an endless supply of lethal weaponry easily available to an endless supply of angry and alienated young men.
Local authorities should be tasked with reviewing social media accounts of gun buyers, especially young, first time buyers, to see if individuals are expressing antisocial views or threatening future acts of violence. Gun buyers should be required to disclose personal social media accounts on a firearms background check. Lying on a background check is a felony and the state and federal government should start to prosecute those caught lying. That seldom happens now.
