Greg Abbot will stand up to them.

A good reply would be a program to arm volunteers and volunteer teachers in Texas schools.

This is classic crybullying.

I was referring to Gov. Abbot being confined to a wheel chair. Remember jojo ‘shotgun’ biden being at some event and asking some guy in the audience to stand up and be recognized not knowing the guy was wheel chair bound.

" joe 'shotgun/hands on' biden"

That's

'Everything you need to know about using a Shotgun Joe Biden'

to you and me. Just ask him but keep a save distance away.

If he don’t have a shotgun in his hand, he’ll be looking for a kiddie to hug/get his paws on. Creeper jo.

The gun-control caterwauling long ago began to sound like the constant din of "racist, homophobe, bigot" levelled at normal Americans.

It's just predictable, ineffective babbling now.

“The ad was a personal letter to Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) detailing why the students demand stricter gun control laws.”


The good thing is that Greg Abbott not only has the sense, decency and honesty to abide by the Constitution that he swore to uphold and defend, but that he’s wise enough to know BOTH that these kids are dead wrong and that the vast majority of voters in Texas are on the other side of this issue.

Too bad he’s not more like Donald Trump. Then he might tell them to eat a Tide Pod and inhale a condom, and calm down. Oh, well, you can’t always get what you want (but you get what you need). [Hey, that sounds catchy, almost as if I’d heard it before].

Texas already has a Marshall Program that can be used in schools and from what I have read it is very good. The NRA also has one that has worked for years and it is well reviewed by those familiar with it. All the good ones rely on armed teachers with additional training and they seem to work well.

“...the students demand stricter gun control laws.”

What’s the deal with all this “demanding”? Doesn’t anybody ask nicely anymore?? :o(
