Even they get how formulaic and hackneyed it is. Given their power I’m surprised they haven’t just moved on to, “A bummer but a price well worth paying so everyone can have 20 Ar-15s.” https://t.co/OoJK8L4mYr

Abbott is the only governor in the country to have been on the job for THREE separate mass shootings to leave over 20 people dead and the only governor with TWO mass school shootings to leave 10+ dead. His state sold guns used by the Vegas shooter & floods Mexico with firearms.

In 2019, 3700 Texans were killed by gunfire. New York, with the same size population, had 800.
Gun violence is horrifying across the country but America's sucking chest wound is deep in the heart of Texas.
