Houston ABC Affiliate Points to Permitless Handgun Carry Law After Rifle Attack in Joel Osteen’s Church
Breitbart ^ | 02/13/2024 | AWR HAWKINS

Posted on 02/13/2024 7:37:00 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Houston’s ABC 13 pointed to Texas’s permitless carry law for handguns following Sunday’s rifle attack inside Lakewood Church.

Breitbart News reported the female shooter, who formerly identified by the name “Jeffery,” possessed two guns when she entered the church: an AR-15 and a .22 rifle.

ABC 13 covered the story by noting, “Texas is coming up on two years since permitless carry passed in the State Legislature, which has allowed Texans to carry handguns without a license since September 2021.”

They elaborated, “Before permitless carry was signed into law, Texans generally needed to be licensed to carry handguns openly or concealed. Applicants had to submit fingerprints, complete four to six hours of in-person training, and pass a written exam and a shooting proficiency test.”

The issue in this particular case is mentally ill trannies.
Or is "mentally ill trannies" a tautology?

Unfortunately trannies are now the top of the (ruling class) "progressive stack".

They’re also pimping for red lag laws and said the perp obtained the AR-15 legally.

It isn’t the inanimate object that’s the problem, it’s the wacko.

Isn’t the point here that she was shot in the act by concealed-carriers?

If by 'we' you mean the population as a whole- "we the people", then yes.

Nor are they wrong. Plenty of leftist idiots who use emotions instead of thought will fall for it-

1) "something bad happened with a gun"
2) [this one's a prior postulate for the lefties] "guns are bad!"
3) oooh news person said gun laws were made looser! See, it's all related! Gotten tighten the laws"

Pistol vs rifle, inanimate object vs thinking whacko are minutiae that are lost to them because they "think" with feelings.

So much of popular leftist policy, and especially how it's framed/sold to the public, makes sense when you realize it's all about emotions.

I feel good because I'm saving the planet!
I feel good because I'm pro-choice! How could anyone be against freedom of choice? It's freedom!
I feel good because I voted for the first black president!
I feel good because I want to help out poor, helpless migrants!

It's redundant.

AWR Hawkins.

AWR. Exact match in three of the four base Gematria ciphers and a mirror in the fourth. AWR writes almost exclusively on matters related to GUNs.

Did Joel Osteen’s Church have appropriate signs at each entrance that prohibited on the premise any guns carried by licensed individuals, unlicensed individuals, or trannies?

“She” and what if the person identified as a Sweet Potato? Shalthe news media say “the Sweet Potato opened fire on people in the church”.

Of course not, so why cater to delusional mentally ill people who thin, that they are the opposite sex?

1. This mentally ill tranny wasn’t carrying a handgun, but rather 2 rifles. That is not covered under the state law (A.K.A. Constitutional carry) dealing with ordinary citizens having the specific right to carry HANDguns.

2. The problem with this mentally ill tranny is that he/she/it was MENTALLY ILL. Laws don’t stop nutjobs or criminals, only normal and law-abiding people.

SCREW ABC News - and I would expect one located in Texas to know better than this...but the virus of tyrannical Leftism has infected a lot of people, regardless of location.

Makes sense to me.

The ABC affiliate in Houston is objecting to the fact that a terrorist against Christians was killed by a person using a handgun.

They wanted more dead bodies other than the terrorist.

More worrisome is the permitless ‘trannyness’ that has become rampant lately.
