Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) on Friday said he expects new laws to be enacted in response the shooting this week that killed 21 people at an elementary school.

“Do we expect any laws to come out of this devastating crime? The answer is yes. Absolutely yes,” Abbott said.

When asked about calling a special session for the legislature in response to the shooting, he said “all options are on the table.”

Since the shooting, Republicans have focused their messaging on school security, while Democrats are advocating for more gun control.

The last thing I need is some big government, deep state f**ktard telling me he passed another meaningless law. This asshat lost me when he thought he was elected to decide who is essential and who isn’t.

F him, I withdrew my consent to be governed about 2 years ago

“One entrance to the campus, one entrance to the school building (except for one-way emergency-exit doors”

I think that was already in place.

It was someone in a high enough position of authority to stand down the local cops, the county sheriff’s deputies, the US Marshalls, and the FBI.

But we don’t know his/her name.

We need to make murder illegal. Then, make murder using a weapon illegal. That should take care of the problem.

“Who made that call?”
Chief of Police for Uvalde Independent School District was the Incident (or Operational) Commander - he was in charge, he made the call.

They have a personality and situational profile to check for psychopathy in young men. We’ve seen several mass murderers who had a few things in common. Problem is, which psychologists would do the evaluations? The crazies of the social left who protested by wearing all black as students on certain days?

Violation of the Second Amendment against hundred of millions of Americans is not the way to fix the illegitimacy-drug-psychopath problem we’ve seen in so few.

New laws will come out but no one will be fired or reassigned? The response was horrendous!

Cowards!

People who say “there oughta be a law” should be flogged, tarred and feathered, and thrown in the nearest deep body of water.

Remember the Texas Declaration of Independence from Mexico.

It has demanded us to deliver up our arms, which are essential to our defence, the rightful property of freemen, and formidable only to tyrannical governments.

Every day, about 32 people in the United States die in drunk-driving crashes — that's one person every 45 minutes.

Time to ban alcohol! Come on Brandon!

“You still think that when they do things they swore during campaign season they would never do that it’s because they are stupid?”

I know, what was I thinking ... yes the continually stab us in the back ... the 2A was one thing over the past 30 something years that they use to unite on.

Now they will all cave to some AWB or national registration or the current nonsense in the Senate where you have to get a license from the feds to own a firearm. And when they do, I’ll vote for Micky Mouse or One Punch Man or some other nonsense character this fall (if I even bother voting), because the results will be the same.

There is no way the shooter didn't know what he was doing was illegal.
How would more laws have helped?
No one in charge connected the dots, the police are not geared towards preventing crimes by people not on their radar.

Let's start with constitutional carry in all U.S. states and territories. This murderer fired at civilians before entering the school grounds. Would have been nice to see them shoot back.

Add laws/ building codes to require two doors to classrooms, preferably not to the same hallway. One door could go to an outside fire escape if necessary.

Make it a felony for someone to prop open an unguarded security door at a school when children are present.

Add laws to ban restrictions on the inalienable right for teachers and school staff to carry keep and bear arms. Teachers and staff carry in Israel with success.

It’s amazing sometimes the stupidity that is encountered here. The shooters are on suicide missions. They know it. If you think the thought of armed teachers is going to dissuade them, then you are delusional

Doubt it. Especially if he follows exactly what DeSantis did. He was perfect and as a result will win in November. Hopefully Abbott isn’t arrogant enough to not follow DeSantis’ lead.

Worked well at marjory stonem high school where the guy with a gun didn’t do a thing while the shooter continued to shoot child after child.
