Lovely fantasy, but out of 100 Texans at random, only 2 are gun owners, of course they own 300 guns between them.


Is that a a wild guess or...? Because it's only off by a factor of 17.

35.7%, not 2%, and this figure or close to showed up in other reliable sources.

2 people, including 12-year-old, charged with murder after Sonic employee shot in Keene
A 32-year-old man is dead and two people, including a 12-year-old, are facing murder charges in his killing after a shooting at a Keene Sonic Drive-In, according to police.

Keene is located about 35 miles south of Fort Worth, in Johnson County.

Gomez and the 12-year-old fled the area, but Gomez later returned to the scene and was arrested, police said. Further investigation led investigators to a location in Rio Vista, a city south of Cleburne, where the 12-year-old was found and arrested.

Investigators recovered several firearms where the 12-year-old was located, according to police. Both Gomez and the juvenile face charges of murder.

Supreme Court denies request to block Illinois ban on semi-automatic rifles

Washington — The Supreme Court on Wednesday left in place for now state and local laws in Illinois that ban assault-style weapons, turning down a request to block the restrictions as the nation again finds itself grappling with a slew of recent mass shootings.

The brief, unsigned order from the high court rejects an application for emergency relief sought by a gun rights group and gun store owner who argued that the Illinois law and a Naperville ordinance violated their Second Amendment rights. There were no noted dissents.


Unexpected but not unwelcome.

I wonder if Fox News' poll showing that 83% of U.S. citizens want gun control had something to do with that decision (and the further damage to SCOTUS' lowly reputation if they went against that 83%).

Meanwhile elsewhere.

Serbians hand in guns after two mass shootings.

But the people there want more done and that's to rid the country of what they see as the real trigger to the problem. Their government and its MAGA RINO style crap and 2 pro-government broadcasters that carry on like Fox and Newsmax that are disturbing the real peace of the country.
