 In one of the most dangerous states for gun violence, the ingrained🔫culture, unrestricted access of🔫 s, & proliferation of🔫s in the hands of residents (some are: unstable, careless, seek vigilante justice, believe the ‘stand your ground law’ is a license to maim or kill…) will lead to even more carnage in Texas: Many Texans use guns as the solution to the problem, not the problem itself. In TX, guns are everywhere, whether concealed or in the open🚨. #ItsTheGuns #GunReform https://www.washingtonpost.com/nation/2023/09/26/texas-guns-open-concealed-carry-laws/ 
 @43613d1f if you go by murder rate per 100k, Texas is middle of the pack. Learn statistics. Texas has the second most murders/non negligent homicides because it has the second most population. Oh and California is ahead of it with much more restrictive gun ownership
