In light of the mass shootings, they have now made it even easier for someone to shoot people. That totally makes a lot of sense. Let’s see how well that works out.

Texas! Who cares anymore! Let them shoot each other to extinction! They are completely nuts. Mass shootings and death mean nothing to these rednecks.

This is total and complete Insanity

Well Texas folks. We are not surprised. Well yes I am I would've bet Florida and those hypocrite republicans would be first.

Hey let's see how many more people we an kill. Texas working to be 1

More Dead gun - carrying Texans isn’t such a bad thing. They are surely all devout Christians

So breaking news shortly thereafter!

😀😡🤦‍♀️😢😢😢😡

Trump & $enate Rep$. Are Acce$$orie$! They are Blood$ucker$! They Won't Even Make Background Checks Madnatory; Let Alone, Ban/Rid US of Military-Style Rapid-Fire Mass-Murdering Weapons that have No Place in Society! Hypocrites! Allegiance Isn't to US but, to Almighty $ Of NRA...!

Makes sense to put more legal guns in the hands of the protective population. Mass shooters like soft targets and hate not knowing who is armed and who is not. More carrying citizens means mass shooters are less likely. gunsense

Well good for Texas.

This will make Donald Trump VERY HAPPY

Oh god

This seems timely and completely appropriate.

🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬

So a state full of dumb red necks that vote Republican shoot each other up. I'm sorry, what's the problem? It sounds like the problem is about to take care of itself. Just stay out of Texas.

good

Greg Abbot, Ted Cruz and John Cornyn ARE A DISGRACE, TEXAN'S WE NEED TO VOTE THESE MURDER'S OUT OF OFFICE😡😡

Such a great idea. Make it asker for the idiots of our society to kill. Why? We love guns more than people.

Good, more guns=fewer Texans!

Texas is trying to make a name for itself. Unfortunately it is going to be their undoing. Boycott Texas.

👍👍👍👍👍

How do you and I know the individual is a legal owner of that firearm? Will there be a special engraved marking on that firearm showing proof of ownership? Will the person have to show legal papers of ownership before entering a building? Will...

It’s about damn time!

sandyhook alfranken

GregAbbott_TX lets just go to open carry bazookas. Maybe THAT will stop the bad guys.🙄

This is truly sad and ignorant that Texas law makers decided to loosen restrictions on guns. This is a law which will come back and bite you in the butt. God have mercy on Texas. Pray for us. 🙏🏽

VOTEALLGOPOUT THEY HAVE NO REGARD FOR HUMANLIVES VOTESUSANCOLLINSOUT!!

Right after a mass shooting...typical.

Maybe the need to shoot up Texas to get all the legislatures out of thinking they are all in an old western. They are a sad bunch.

The man was being stopped for an illegal lane change. Turning without your blinker on is against the law. But carrying a semi-automatic rifle and a butt-load of ammunition is not a problem. There is not even a word for this kind of stupidity.

So what will happen with gun-related incidents? Will they go up or down or stay unchanged? I guess we'll see.

So yesterday, where were all those good guys with guns? dosometing

Seems like a great idea post mass shooting. Only 21 hurts and 5 dead

Oh you're gonna turn. It into the wild west again.

New Texas gun law makes it easier for people to shoot each other.

They deserve everything that happens after this

Leftist media NBC at work.

Just watched in CNN...really fucked up truly

Action2getherNJ I am glad every day that I live in a state with rational gun control laws. Not Texas.

Great now we can shoot the shooter

I support the right to bear arms but our country is quickly becoming the Wild West. Does anyone honestly think they will be able to pull out their handgun in a drive by? That’s NOT going to happen. I’m a victim of a drive by and that’s not how any of that works.

NTPC और Group D में सबसे ज़्यादा पूछे जाने वाले महत्वपूर्ण प्रश्न

morgfair Hey Texas, you are going to keep getting shot up until you make your gun restrictions tougher. There’s quite a few of you that have no business with a gun. Use common sense...till then looks like you will be a major kill zone.

😄🇺🇸✌️👏

Their already loose gun laws seem to be helping IMMENSELY with their mass shooting problem. Good job, GregAbbott_TX! /s

This will allow big tough guy to open carry in a grocery store!!!! What a law!!!

HOW could it be easier? Are clothes going to come with sewn in holsters?

Wonderful. More killings hopefully they will stay in TX

Fuck.

Shame on Texas

This is so fu*ed up! How can people be so dumb? or reckless?! Texans texasmassshooting texasmassshooting

DaggumRoy What a terrible idea!

The shooter took advantage of his last guarantee that the victims would be unarmed. ConstitutionalCarry NOW 2AShallNotBeInfringed GunControl makes us all SittingDucks!

Sick lunatic people kill citizens of this country. If they didn't use guns, they would use knives or rope. Then Democrats would be screaming to outlaw rope and knives. Nothing about the lunatic, because the ACLU will try to keep them alive.

Gringoland is doin sth amazing; killing each other.

They should have a national program and just distribute AR15 in every home.

I’m sure that will help!

EVERYONE FEEL SAFER?

Nooooooooice!

Maybe someone will listen to me. Does anyone else find it ironic that the same people who don’t want to ban assault rifles, also don’t want you to abort your baby. So aborting bad, but after baby is born, the baby is free game to be killed by the rapid fire of an assault rifle.

Good

This is what they voted for. I have a hard time understanding these people’s mind. The gop is a mere NRA extension but, the people?

so that people that dont commit mass shooting crimes can defend themselves from people that do, you idiots

“Shall not be infringed...” 2A

Um today is Sunday. YAY!!!

great timing

Just in time to have us kill eachother more...Thanks Republicans

That’s today, uppers.

Such a stupid move !!

MattGoldstein26 ...and there was much rejoicing

no comment

The Wild West. . . .

Not only are the Texans a stupid football team but their citizens are too.

And nothing will change.

The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun. A law will not stop bad people from getting a gun. Just like it doesn't stop illegal immigrants from crossing our border.

SmartOne8927 guitarplayercr VancouverGold this should help.

Another reason to not visit Texas.

RobCalfee It’s time for Corporate America to wake up and start leaving these States that cozy up to the gun lobby and allow carnage in their streets equal to a war zone.

You Damn Fools. Do you want more People Killed?There are more Guns in America than US Citizens. My AfricanNation, it appears that the WhiteMan is running Scared right now.He's losing Power and he doesn't know what to do.He has done Wrong throughout the World for Hundreds of years

Ridiculous mind blowing lack of awareness.

Fml

jeffgoldesq What!!!!

Good luck Texas -- 'The Shootout State' -- enter at your own risk

Farmt lot of good it's done.

OMG😡😡😡😡😡😡😡IDIOTS

The sad irony of this. I no longer recognize the country I grew up in. We are definitely no longer the envy of the free world.

👏💪👍🇺🇸

That will end the violence. Go Texas.

Smart!😒

Didn’t they just get an active shooter. Killing five and injuring twenty one people. Good job Texas. Way to kill your state faster.

clashoftheash New law opens the door for companies to offer hand guns inside jumbo boxes of breakfast cereal.

Now that’s CommonSenseGunLaws

'MURICA

david_fuj I am amazed at the number of people here who are seem to think that these shootings are OK, they seem not to give a damn. WTF is wrong with you!!! Talking of numbers, when I saw this thread the number of comments was 👇

Texas: *has 2 shootings* Texas: 4 tAke iT oR lEave iT

Good job Texas

I wonder why there are so many mass shootings in the USA? Your country baffles me and most of my countrymen

This is not going to end well

This is great news..there'll be no more mass shootings in Texas if everyone carries a gun....Sarc

Should we care about any deaths in this state?

They love guns more than life

KatyTurNBC Almost certain that GregAbbott_TX will NOT suspend these laws even after SECOND gun rampage in his state this month. Entire GOP owned by NRA. They all need to be removed from office.

Please tell me what good is that going to do?

Texas is a joke. Full of he-men who have to carry guns while they eat and drink and drive.

Oh goody everyone just going around shooting eachother like it’s western times...this country is so f***ed

“And isn't it ironic, don't you think A little too ironic, and yeah I really do think” - Alanis Morissette, Ironic, on Jagged Little Pill (June 1995)

It’s like a vicious negative feedback loop of death. Shootings lead to foolish attempts to arm more people for “protection” lead to more people who should not have guns leads to more shootings. Round and round we go. So sad. texasshooting

IRONY is a Texan specialty.

Not that it’s stopping people dying so it blows the good guy with a gun out of the water. It’s just the myth they insist on perpetuating to justify their gun lunacy.

That’s how politicians give the good people of Texas the political middle finger in the mist of multiple tragedies. 😡👎🏼

Guess they need to improve their mass shootings numbers!!

maui_resister

Texans burning alive would jump in a gasoline filled pool.

Because they want MORE mass shootings?

BackwardsCulture

A wonderful reason to add Texas to our NOGOZone .GovAbbott after ElPasoTragedy a person of sound mind would reconsider relaxing gun laws. *Obviously* that person is not you. boycottTexas

Give’em all guns. Maybe it will solve the problem entirely....

How fuck up is this?

WTF! Will what happened in El Paso & now today in Odessa change the implimenation of this new legislation Texas laws are regarding guns are reckless enough now!!

Shame on Texas GOP

GREAT!!!! Now the rest of the Country should follow!!!

ElPasoStrong Midland

Bold move Texas. Yall are trying to shoot their way out of mass shootings

EliseErosenb827 Can we just let them secede already?

F*ck TX. Boycott the hell out of it. No conventions. No fairs. No festivals or concerts or symposiums. No business deals or film shoots or TV shoots. Shut down the whole state until they get some damned sense & learn how to abide by the 2nd Amendment which calls for REGULATION.

JoaquinCastrotx Disgusting.

NerdPyle gregabbotthasbloodonhishands

Perfect timing

I'm pretty sure the only way gun restrictions could get any looser in Texas is if they start automatically adding AR-15s to every Amazon order shipped to the state.

Great. More death and destruction coming your way, courtesy of Texas.

jbordeaux4 Great timing in light of today’s mass shootings in Odessa, Texas. StopTheGunMadness

Good ideas. Texas will be Safer. Only A Gun holder can respond quickly to A public shooter. Police arrives too late.

🙄🙏

This would not happen if the residents went to the politicians office like Puerto Rico did. I fault the residents for not stopping them. Residents have the power if they utilize it.

JoaquinCastrotx I’m from Texas and don’t approve of this law nor have I ever voted for these a-holes

For fucks sake, please DO NOT SHOOT. That goddamn suspect is a fucking WHITE male in his early 30s !! Arrest but don't kill. Put more guns and assault rifles out there in Texas! The more mentally unstable person with guns, the higher the need for self protection.

And they will. Don’t cry for Texas cops who get shot at. Most vote for it!!

Hell yeah! Now people can protect themselves & not have to wait for help while they fight for their lives for 5 to 10 minutes.

KatyTurNBC Currently in the news: California offers free tuition and Texas offers mass shootings and more guns.

Comforting.

KatyTurNBC So, how’s that libertarian paradise workin’ out?

WillHurd what do you think?

IndivisibleEB Box of rox

How much looser can they get?

Just in time cuz the government is incapable of protecting citizens even after grabbing massive resources and power from them. progressivism

Wtf?! Why?! Because it needs to be easier to get guns instead of harder?! Wtf is WRONG with Texas!

hrcsupervol01 How loose do Texans want their gun laws? Would they like a RPG launcher with their AR-15? texasshooting

just what Texas needs, looser gun laws. shoot them before they shoot you. Is that the logic?

GrassrootsJill

Well, thank heavens.

Only in Texas....

How can you be this Stupid?

I thought humans were supposed to progress as a species, in America it seems we are going backwards. What’s wrong with us? Seems we’re not learning from our mistakes. Do we really want to go back to the 1800’s?

Whose brilliant idea was that?

Impeccable timing...SMDH OdessaShooting

KatyTurNBC It only gets worse in Texas.

How'd that work out today

Good grief.

JoaquinCastrotx Excellent!

Oh yeah, this will end very well.

JoaquinCastrotx Let's play this out.. Someone starts shooting randomly into a crowd. Texan with gun shoots back, misses Now there is a shoot out in Walmart. Police arrive They see people shooting at each other, not knowing who to shoot..kill the 'hero' & crazy person.

We need to roll them all back the country is going crazy we need bigger and better 💪

Kris_Sacrebleu What could go wrong? So a few babies get shot in the face. Hey, she should have been packin!!

KatyTurNBC This is 'merica. Lame.

What’s wrong with you Texas. Didn’t you just have mass shooting. Have you lost your mind or do you just not care of the dangers of guns not monitored

MariJoDeLeon GUNS! YEEHAW! PEWPEWPEW! (that was sarcasm... for the uninitiated)

What restrictions?!

KatyTurNBC And 5 dead, 20 plus injured in Odessa TX... realDonaldTrump plays golf GreggAbbottTx gives nothing to gun control- blames mentally ill

KatyTurNBC

AprilMAllison1 Why isn't MASSACRE TRUMP and MOSCOW MITCH doing anything about gun laws? If we had more control of the guns, we would not have these many freaking MASS SHOOTINGS. EL PASO TX, NOW ODESSA-MIDLAND TEXAS, WHEN DOES THIS END?

As people DIE on the street from crazed gunman who may have been stopped IF BATSHIT senatemajldr and realDonaldTrump had a set ... that would present the bill passed by the House eon’s ago on gun control ❗️ Both are such a waste ❗️

KatyTurNBC Must have been an early celebration? YaHooo

AprilMAllison1 Please please watch this video, it is a must watch if you want to save your life, literally......

So should we be glad that gun owners might “extinct” themselves... no, still just seems wrong. wtf cuttingoffyournosetospiteyourface idontgetit 🤦🏼‍♀️

Why would you need a gun?.... we all see what they use it for, to kill innocent people

KatyTurNBC Because of course they are

KatyTurNBC Cause, yeah, nothing says loosen gun laws more than when another kid gets shot in the face.

Texas is sure leading the way in trying to stop all this gun violence. It has become a Wild West Show with no end in sight.

Ha

GregAbbott_TX care to comment on this? maddow davidhogg111 fred_guttenberg

This is the definition of insanity in real time.

KatyTurNBC Great timing

Oh yeah, this is a good idea. Start the clock as to when the next mass shooting will occur. Heck, forget mass shootings, two idiots will try to settle their drunken differences in some bar’s parking lot.

I'm not surprised. The cowboy days are just around the corner in America. I pray for Jonny Law ... GunControlNow

You reap what you sow.

Great timing!!

Jeez. How much easier can it get?

Fk!!! And the body count rises as both side are slain by another Anglo AmericanTerrorist Sadly nothing will change, and the 2ndAmendment nationalist will demand more guns!! 𝒲𝑒 𝒶𝓇𝑒 '𝑨 𝑵𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏 𝑼𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝑫𝒖𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒔'

Way to go GregAbbott_TX BanAssaultWeaponsNow

KatyTurNBC

Kris_Sacrebleu Visited my sister in Texas last month. Saw people walking around with guns at their hips like it was the Wild Wild West. It was so scary and surreal. I couldn’t wait to get back home.

Perfect, obviously the current laws aren't lax enough for the 'good' guys to stop the bad guys.

Ironic timing

Great idea Texas. How many need to die before you get it. Listen to your citizens. Keep them safe.

The right wing is a death cult

KatyTurNBC More “good guys with guns.”

Not sure I’ll be going back to Texas any time soon. It’s scary

Sure. Why not. Make the wild Wild West great again. 🖕🏻

ddiamond Perfect. Just what they need given the last couple of mass shootings they’ve had.

Really smart!!!

brooklynmarie And the shooting is to commemorate the milestone? Asking for a 350mil people that don’t wanna die in a shooting

KatyTurNBC And just to prove how horrible an idea this is a man shot a bunch of people in Midland/Odessa today.

KatyTurNBC Thank God 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🖕

KatyTurNBC Perfect timing!

KatyTurNBC Texas will Texas

KatyTurNBC Good timing You can buy an assault weapon at 18 but not cigarettes or cough medicine Texasfukups 🙄

KatyTurNBC

KatyTurNBC I’m sure police are happy about that!

KatyTurNBC Just Crazy!

tannenbaumr Oh good. That’ll help matters. 🙄

simplyrebecca8 Here we go again. The Wild West, relived.

What else is there to say about this decision.... WTF⁉️😡😡😡

ddiamond I’m staying far away from Texas.

As Odessa gets shot up!!

Not a good look

Why? So everyone can shoot each other?

The amount of unwanted irony in this post after today

OWNEDBYTHENRA

Fantastic. 😑

MidlandTexas 5 dead and 20 injured . Yes this is a great time to loosen restrictions

Just in time for more public shootings? Wtf is wrong with people? And don’t say you’re a good guy that’s going to stop a bad guy with your gun. That argument does not hold up. BanAssaultWeapons GunControl

BetoORourke JulianCastro GregAbbott_TX WTF!

Well that makes perfect sense for Texas. Unfortunately I don't even blink anymore when there's a mass shooting. When you promote guns, that's what you get.

Let's loosen restrictions on guns in Texas after two mass shootings in 4 weeks. SMH....

Good, We all can kill each other. Welcome to 20th Century.

Texas will become like the OK Corral. texasshooting

Texas = America's Rectum.

Great - just in time for that asshole in Odessa!

cielo0212 Horrid. Guns allowed in school parking lots & places of worship tomorrow in Texas. But not for the Mormons. fail txlege voteblue

Cowboys ruling over non-cowboys. The little old lady can't walk to the shops because someone pushed someone else's kid to the ground and there's a gunfight. Gun owners are faggots. The weak.

'a return to the days of yesteryears'

Cool. Because the problem is totally that Texas doesn’t have enough guns. 🙄🙄🙄
